    ☠️S05E42 - THE BLACK DEATH🐀
    2026/08/03
    Blake and Karen are joined by Dr. Ben Dodds, author of Myths and Memories of the Black Death to discover more about a disease which forever changed world history when it swept across Europe in the 1300s.

    The conversation runs from the mechanics of the disease - what a bubo actually is, what finally kills you, and why the textbook rats-and-fleas model spreads far too slowly to explain what medieval eyewitnesses described - to the harder question of how anyone in 2026 knows any of it. Along the way: the marmot hypothesis, the medieval physicians who were certain they had it figured out, the appalling 1348 pogroms whose victims were dug out of the ground in a Catalan town a short drive from where Dodds was sitting, why Monty Python understood the Middle Ages better than most historical novelists, and a closing answer about the aftermath that most listeners will not see coming. Blake's cold open, meanwhile, sets out to explain why we call it the Black Death at all - and reels in an unexpected monster.

  • 🛸 S05E41 - Government Disclosure

    🛸 S05E41 - Government Disclosure
    2026/07/27
    Blake and Karen welcome back paranormal investigator Matthew Baxter to sift through the latest government UAP release - the so-called PURSUE document dump - and work out what, if anything, is actually in it. Baxter took on the job of reading the paperwork so nobody else has to, and he returns with a skeptic's field report on what the government handed over, and what it quietly left out.

    From a Nevada billionaire's decades-long influence campaign to a $22 million taxpayer-funded hunt for the strange at a remote Utah ranch, the trio traces how fringe belief got bootstrapped into official policy - and asks whether the whole disclosure spectacle is meant to illuminate anything at all, or just to bury the question under an avalanche of unanalyzed data. Along the way: anglerfish, ice cream cones, and an epistemological war we didn't even know we'd been drafted into.

    🎧 What's Inside🛸 What "PURSUE" actually stands for - and what the release did and didn't include
    🏛️ AARO decoded: why "all-domain" is more than a rebrand
    💰 The billionaire whose private money quietly seeded decades of official UFO research
    👻 The "two agendas" baked into disclosure from the start (hint: it was never only about spacecraft)
    🍦 A former government UAP chief's memorable verdict on the whole enterprise
    🎣 The anglerfish test: what real extraordinary evidence actually looks like
    ⚔️ The "epistemological war" - and why skeptics feel like they brought a calculator to a shouting match
    🪐 What some disclosure advocates are really hoping to find out there

  • 🐂S05E40 - Cattle Mutilations: Part 2🛸

    🐂S05E40 - Cattle Mutilations: Part 2🛸
    2026/07/20
    ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains frank discussion of animal death, carcass predation, and graphic descriptions of animal mutilation. Listener discretion is advised.

    Blake and Karen continue their conversation with religious studies scholar Lee Weiss on the cattle mutilation mystery. If you missed part one, wind your podcast player back an episode - this one picks up right where the panic peaked. At the center of part two is Emmy Award-winning reporter Linda Moulton Howe, whose 1980 documentary A Strange Harvest wrapped a decade of dead cows, black helicopters, and hypnotic regressions into a single package and delivered it to America.

    Lee walks through what happened next: the government's Rommel Report and its verdict of "Mother Nature," the tragic Bennewitz affair, cow parts arriving by mail in Alberta, a declassified CIA remote-viewing file, and how the whole phenomenon finally hardened into alien orthodoxy. It all ends with the big question - what's actually killing these animals?
