This episode is about UFOs, so we went to the site of one of the UK’s most famous encounters Rendlesham Forest to investigate, talked to few locals and released some chinese lanterns to see if we could start yet another UFO flap in East Anglia. We discuss the details of the Rendlesham case, the history of UFOs and, of course the sex habits of the Pleiadians. Rebecca is searching for mundane explanations, while Cat watches the skies but who is Mulder and who is Scully? You decide.

Rebecca damages her skeptic street-cred by revealing her interest in yoga and Cat, as a yoga teacher, encourages her and makes the odd adjustment. In this episode we talk about yoga from ancient to modern and reflect on our own yoga practices. We discuss yoga’s possible dangers (from brain damage to sexual assault) and reflect on it’s benefits (from physiotherapeutic to spiritual). We even dare to raise the contentious issue of cultural appropriation, you have been warned.

This episode we are chatting about the four hours we spent basking in the wisdom of David Icke like reptiles under a heat lamp. We are interrupted twice by Google assistant, who may, or may not, be working for ‘Them’. David Icke is probably the UK’s most well known conspiracy theorist, made famous for his public announcement back in 1991 that he was the son of God. He’s kept huge audiences enthralled in the years since with his theory that all earth culture, society and politics is manipulated by extraterrestrial lizards. We discuss the merits of Ickes ideas, why they’ve proved so popular and ..read more

This episode we’ll be talking about Wake Up a documentary by Jonas Elrod. Jonas was a (arguably) normal guy until he suddenly started seeing angels and demons, hearing people’s thoughts and having precognitive visions. The angels, or maybe the demons, urged him to tell the world of their existence and so he produced Wake Up.   You don’t need to have seen the documentary to enjoy this episode, but if you’d like to links are in the show notes. We use Jonas’s story as a jumping off point to talk about the big question: how do we know who or what to believe? And we tackle tricky topics such a ..read more

Yuletide greetings to our skeptical and not-so-skeptical listeners! We just got home from a Winter Solstice celebration, so this episode we will be pouring ourselves some mulled wine and mulling over the topic of Wicca. Give us a break- tis the season for terrible puns. Rebecca’s an ex-witch and Cat’s maybe on the verge of joining her local coven. We discuss the history of Wicca, what it means to be a practicing witch today and if it’s possible to be an atheist witch.

This meta-sode (a self-referential and possibly self-indulgent episode) is a summary of what we've learned in the last year or so of exploring the fringes of spirituality, religion and the occult. We’ve entered altered states, performed occult rituals and received transmissions from Angelic beings and it won’t surprise regular listeners to hear, it’s changed us! Some of our experiences have been scary or fun but in this episode we’re talking about the ones that have affected us the most deeply and which we have integrated into our lives. Exploring esoteric, paranormal and spiritual topics from ..read more
