  • S3 Ep5: The Premonitions Bureau

    S3 Ep5: The Premonitions Bureau
    Aug 22 2025
    “Premonitions are impossible and they come true all the time.” -- Sam Knight, The Premonitions Bureau

    What would you do if you could see the future? Would you even want to? Join Richard as he explores Sam Knight’s The Premonitions Bureau, in which British psychologist Dr. John Barker learns the hard way that the privilege of seeing around corners comes with an unusually high price tag.

    Meanwhile, Richard has always seen his own life as a rollercoaster: a terrifying journey of sharp twists and turns and stomach-flipping plunges that feels like it will last forever -- but also like it will end too soon. Travel with him backwards and forwards through time, from 2022… to 1977… and the year 2000… as he travels from childhood to fatherhood and back again, trying desperately to answer the biggest question of all: what’s going to happen next? Pull down the safety bar and keep your hands and feet inside the car, because the answers he finds might just scare you -- to death.

  • S3: The Fortean and the Skeptic Should Be Friends: My Conversation with Blake Smith

    S3: The Fortean and the Skeptic Should Be Friends: My Conversation with Blake Smith
    Aug 8 2025
    According to Rogers and Hammerstein’s musical Oklahoma!, “The farmer and the cowman should be friends.” Shouldn’t it be the same for the Fortean and the skeptic? Is it even possible?

    My guest tonight is Blake Smith, the host of the MonsterTalk podcast, and a self-described skeptic. And I think you know how I take issue with a lot of skeptics and so-called skeptical arguments. But Blake and I are friends. Somehow, after a vulgar and insulting email blunder on my part, Blake kindly wrote back to me, a correspondence began, he invited me to be on his podcast, and the rest is history. The Fortean and the skeptic became friends. I think the reason we’re friends is that Blake has an honest interest in all things paranormal, but he also came upon his skepticism in a very human way. He doesn’t use it as a cudgel to beat anybody down. And best of all, ridicule is just not part of who he is. Also, the guy he has an amazing book collection, he loves to drink port, he’s quick with a pun -- and he’s just an all-around great guy.

    In this conversation we cover everything from Whitley Streiber’s Communion to the Heaven’s Gate tragedy; from exploding lightbulbs to snake-handling cults; and from “the hard problem of consciousness” to the one kind of paranormal experience that might change Blake’s skepticism forever.

  • S3 Ep4: A Christmas Carol

    S3 Ep4: A Christmas Carol
    Jul 25 2025
    Sometimes Christmas just doesn’t feel like Christmas. It’s December 2001, and Richard is living alone, facing down his first Christmas Eve without his family. But he’s about to learn that Christmas has its own magic -- and its own surprising plans for him…

    One hundred and fifty-eight years earlier, Charles Dickens changed the world with his story of another lonely man on Christmas Eve who ended up getting far more than he bargained for. What Dickens didn’t know -- but Richard does all too well -- is that what he actually created was literatures most famous near-death experience. Join Richard and Dickens as they each face down their Christmas ghosts -- and hope to wake up the next morning transformed…

    Notes & Links:
    You can get a copy of Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol pretty much anywhere, but I highly recommend Michael Patrick Hearns’ The Annotated Christmas Carol where I got most of the information for this episode. You can get it at AbeBooks here: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?ch_sort=t&cm_sp=sort-_-SRP-_-Results&ds=30&dym=on&isbn=9780393051582&rollup=on&sortby=2
