Today, we're talking with Gregg Bishop, author of Project Beta, a leading researcher into UAPs and one of the most infamous disinformation campaigns in UFO history. We'll cover his journey into UAP research, his investigations into Richard Doty and the Paul Bennewitz case, the fallout from the 1989 MUFON conference, and his thoughts on misinformation in today's UAP landscape. If you're curious about what's real and what's deliberately hidden in the UAP landscape, this episode is for you.

Join us as we get rebelliously curious.

Today, we're diving into one of the most fascinating topics, near-death experiences, and one of the deeply human questions of our time: What happens when we come close to death—and why does it change people forever?

Joining me is Dr. Marieta Pehlivanova, Research Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, and a leading researcher at the renowned Division of Perceptual Studies.

Today, we explore what near-death experiences are, what people report during them, why these moments are so transformative, and how her research is shaping new approaches to care and support for those who've experienced them. We'll also take a look at how science is evolving to better understand these experiences—and where the field is headed next.

What happens when technology starts to read your mind — or even predict your thoughts before you have them? In this episode, we dive deep into the rapidly evolving frontier of brain–computer interfaces, or BCIs — a technology once confined to science fiction that's now redefining what it means to be human.

Joining me today is Florian Solzbacher, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer of Blackrock Neurotech, one of the world's leading companies in neural interface technology. We'll explore everything from invasive vs. non-invasive BCIs, privacy and "mind data," policy gaps, and the risks of unconscious influence, to the global implications of brain–computer interfaces — including China's growing leadership in the field and past and future funding from government agencies like DARPA.
