Not quite sure how to put this - but I got the chance to interview Mr. Van Halen on the flipside today. Jennifer was aware he had passed, no idea I had invited him - and we had a free wheeling discussion about his music, where music comes from, previous lifetimes where he had music in his life, his journey in general, and what it was like to cross over and be home. Jennifer and I have been doing this for five years now - there are always specific details that only a family member would know (or ...

Having been away from Jennifer for a couple of weeks, I just let the conversation go where it was supposed to go. I had been doing some research into my own family history, found a family secret and asked Jennifer's help in getting to the bottom of it. No one will understand or be convinced of anything - but I know what she's talking about. Then we have a screenplay Luana wrote that her friend Fred Roos is trying to produce, and Jennifer nails every step of where it is. Some discussion of proces...

Another conversation with the flipside about process. In this case, the term "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" came to mind and it appears to reference the idea that we are always connected to all of our lifetimes - no matter which role we've chosen on the planet this time around. There's a brief hello from our pals from Big Love, Harry Dean and Bill - and then a surprise visit from Stephen Hawking who tells us there is a "formula" for love. Another mind bending episode into the flipside....

This is a conversation with Luana Anders (my friend on the flipside) and Jennifer about process and access. That is how they, the folks on the flipside access us, the process in doing so. At some point, we are visited by my old friend and pal Bill Paxton. ("Talking to Bill Paxton" is a film on Gaia that I made with three different mediums asking Bill questions about how we met, what it's like on the flipside, and other detailed things - all three mediums gave the same answers.) In this case, Bil...

Very unusual podcast today - when is it not? First Luana Anders came forward to talk about a global issue, and physicist David Bohm weighs in. Then David Bowie comes forward to talk about cancer, and someone he helped escort into the flipside; Chadwick Boseman. Jennifer has not seen Black Panther, Get On Up, 42, or was aware at first who I was inviting to speak with us. Which made for an unusual but heartfelt discussion of what it was like for the iconic actor to be greeted on the flipside by Ne...

You just never know who wants to chat with us. In this case, I had no clue that Sammy Davis Jr. wanted to have a word with us - he appears in the book "Backstage Pass to the Flipside 3" so he's always welcome, but he wanted to weigh in on the events in Kenosha Wisconsin. Let me be clear - I had a completely different thought of what our podcast might be this week, but I have to allow that I am not in charge of the guest list, Jennifer Shaffer is not in charge of the guest list. We just ask "Who ...

This one is a bit all over the map. We begin with a general discussion of "manifesting something" versus "seeing it in our future early on." That moves into a conversation about Saint Bernadette and a pal of mine what I think may be partially the reincarnation of. Then to the concept of math and the flipside - what infinity represents. A general chat with Simon Newcomb - or a hello. Then a visit from Mary - yes, that Mary... and from Elvis and his grandson to say something rather poetic about wh...

Last night I had a "visitation" from someone who self identified as "the Principal." I asked this person if I was supposed to interview them in today's podcast and they said "Yes, the questions will appear for you." So I had no one to look up, research... but knew that this person had told me that they were "the principal." I thought about teachers I knew, principals I knew - but just left it aside. So this interview goes without any planning. At some point I realize that this person meant "the ...

Another mind bending session. Apologies for the wifi interruptions on audio... there's a moment in here where I ask Representative Lewis about three names - James, Andrew and Michael. Prior to the session - I knew who they were. All freedom riders (like John) and two of them he knew well. When he reported through Jennifer being reconnected with them... and then I asked him to show Jennifer who they were... and she correctly says on camera that they were murdered by the KKK... it doesn't get any ...

This turned out to be an episode where folks came forward from the flipside to talk about the pandemic. Junior Seau wanted to reinforce the idea that hyperbaric oxygen therapy cures a host of brain issues (and a shout out to Joe Namath), Robin Williams wanted to speak about depression and the pandemic - how to alleviate it. Prince wanted to talk about using water and music to help with mental issues, Dr. Salk spoke about the properties of elderberry with regard to the lungs. A pretty unusual ses...

I began this with a proof of concept. Prior to filming our session, I speak directly to camera and reveal who I've asked to "come forward." A few minutes later Jennifer says his name. We've been doing this for over five years and I know how accurate she can be. It's a wide ranging interview, covers the work of Carl Jung, his life, some of the more interesting anecdotes about him - his "soul stone," the episode where he saw his mother go into a room and a "ghost come out of it." That leads us int...

It's a difficult topic, but wasn't planned. his is an hour discussion about suicide, about why people do it, about the kinds of steps people can take to prevent it - and some strong opinions from the flipside about how to "fight the impulse" to leave the stage early.

This is a podcast from Simon Bown in the UK. He told me in advance that he had been "denied entry" into his council during a past life session he had done, and asked if I could help him to access that venue. We did so. In his extended podcast (through patreon) he offers the extended version (another 40 minutes) where we interviewed someone that he recognized from his youth. He mentioned something about a fear of "aliens" - so I went to the obvious question - if he had ever met any. And indeed, h...

I did a guest shot on a podcast for this fellow Robert on "What happens after." He has a bunch of questions which I do my best to answer in terms of the research. Unusual show but fun. Enjoy.

Something a little different. Jennifer and I explain how we met, how we came to be pals, how Luana Anders assists us from the flipside. I revisit someone Jennifer and I met in "Hacking the Afterlife" to directly question his "council of doctors" that he claimed (in the interview via channeler Kevin Moore) that they assisted him in his successful trances where he helped cure people (and was famous for it).

In this session, Prince comes through and discussions the healing aspects of music. At some point Ludwig Van comes through, as does Bernard Hermann and Igor Stravinsky. If that isn't unusual enough, Hira the dog comes through and describes how owners can converse with there pets on the flipside.

This is a continuation of last week's podcast where we heard from Frank Sinatra who was responsible for the death of JFK, RFK and Marilyn. (At least partially). The interview is mind bending, I can only offer that I've been doing this with Jennifer for over five years, she works with law enforcement nationwide on missing person cases - she's offering what she's seeing or hearing, and I ask questions of clarification. The book referenced is David Talbot's "Brothers" - about the conspiracies behin...

Another episode from "Hacking the Afterlife" - as noted in this episode, which deals with the current events of the day, the folks we interview (except for Mr. Floyd) are all folks we've interviewed for "Backstage Pass to the Flipside 3." No offense meant for anyone... these people "seem to appear" and we ask them questions as best we can. The only thing we can do is report, and then compare the answers to others who've asked them the same questions. At some point I ask Frank Sinatra a direct qu...

We interviewed Carl for the book "Backstage Pass to the Flipside 3" - Carl makes a return visit to our class to discuss a number of things he wanted to cover - like global warming, whether aliens exist, how to step away from fossil fuel and into a safer alternative. This podcast is not for everyone, nor should it be. If one is not aware of the possibility of an afterlife, then this will not make any sense. However for those that are, he makes perfect sense. Enjoy.

In today's episode, the pilot stops by to talk about her trip and her life (today's the 88th anniversary of her solo flight). Stephen Hawking makes an appearance, answers a couple of esoteric questions, Luana Anders on the flipside orchestrates it all. Also a general discussion of people who have lost folks during the pandemic, and some unusual advice from my mom. To participate in the "raffle" go to richmartini.com and answer one of five questions regarding Luana. To win an hour with Jennifer, ...

Jennifer texted me to let me know she had done an impromptu session with a friend of a friend last night, and the friend reached out to George Harrison. George is someone we interviewed for "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" and he gave us details that I could corroborate with a mutual friend, a grammy award winning producer who worked with him. But Jennifer forgot about our two conversations with George, and in this podcast reveals the information she heard from him last night that his pal was ab...

Jennifer Shaffer is a medium who works with law enforcement on missing person cases. I'm a former Variety music scribe who has written and/or directed 8 theatrical feature films. Our "guide on the flipside" is Luana Anders, actress who was in more than 300 TV shows and 30 features. Together we "interview" or chat with folks no longer on the planet. In this instance, the one and only Richard Penniman who brings a number of "guests" to this chat. What he says during this interview echoes what we l...

In this podcast we ask Gene Wilder some questions about Elon Musk and his desire to sell the home Gene used to live in. We've interviewed Gene (I knew him) in "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" and invite him to weigh in on an idea that I had to pitch to Elon. Also we announce a Mother's Day/Luana Ander's birthday contest, details which will be posted on my web page RichMartini.com later today. Enjoy and don't forget to thank your mom.

Some folks stop by who appear in "Backstage Pass to the Flipside 3" - Sitting Bull stops by, as well as Peter Beard to explain why David Bowie showed up during his previous interview (with comments for Iman). Also Kobe Bryant (who appears in the book) stops by and I ask a question in Italian and he puts an answer in Jennifer's mind that I try to unpack. Two animals stop by; one is Jennifer's cat that passed this week, the other is the dog of Oscar winning writer Robert Towne (who I walked for 3 ...

This is the audio feed from the film of the above title, which can be viewed at MartiniZone com. This film was made over the course of two years, and for those familiar with the content of the sessions I've filmed with Jennifer Shaffer, they'll forgive the noisy cafe that we recorded some of this in. In this documentary, Paul Allen speaks about his life, talks about who was there to greet him on the flipside; Junior Seau and Dave Duerson. Then I arranged for Junior's widow to speak directly to h...

In our ongoing discussions with the Flipside, some old pals stopped by. Prince offered a song people should listen to, Amelia Earhart (who I had asked to come, and Jennifer correctly identified her) and J. Allen Hynek whom I met in 1969. The point is - our loved ones don't die. Everyone we've ever encountered still exists on the flipside. Enjoy

In this session, Jennifer takes my unusual questions (via our friend Luana Anders on the flipside) and I access Tsong Khapa, Manjushri and the Alpha and Omega. One could way I'm an equal opportunity heretic - but it's to demonstrate something Tsong Khapa knew - we can ask questions of people no longer on the planet and get new information. Enjoy.

We chat with an old pal who is missing and has dementia. She correctly identified how we met - and he gave us details about what happened when he disappeared. He has personal messages for his loved ones which I've sent. This is a podcast to demonstrate how anyone can access loved ones, asking questions their "higher self" can answers. I don't mention the name of the person who is missing in this podcast, friends of mine will recognize who it is - and perhaps friends of his will as well. Eventual...
