THIS IS FROM THE ARCHIVES. BUT FOR SOME REASON WAS NEVER AIRED. Ian Stevenson was a scientist from UVA who passed away in 2007. He left behind a locked safe in his office, and said that he would share the "phrase" or "word" that would unlock the safe if someone was able to connect to him on the flipside. In this talk, we begin with a discussion of Dr. Bruce Greyson's new book "After" - Bruce was at UVA when Ian brought him into to the Dept of Perceptual Studies (funded by a grant from the founde...

Another mind bending episode of our podcast. As note in the podcast, Jennifer and I haven't planned our podcasts in advance. We just kind of "show up" to see who our moderator on the flipside has brought to class. In this case, it just so happens to be someone that I've researched - the scientist Giordano Bruno. When he showed up he said I had been writing about him recently - and referred to my latest book, which no one on the planet has read or seen. Jennifer did not know who Giordano Bruno is...

So I got this email the other day: "Dear Richard. I am a fan. I listen to your podcasts with Jennifer. I would like you to contact Emmet Till. It would interesting to hear what he has to say. Thanks. Regards, Kathie" I wrote to her that the podcast is controlled by our pal Luana Anders on the flipside, that she is in charge of the "guest list" as she's the one with the "clipboard." Imagine my chagrin, when today, Luana mentioned this question. Dear Kathie, Well, something unusual happened. Today...

Another mind bending session with Jennifer Shaffer. In today's episode, we deal a little bit with process, and then specific details. We start off with a conversation about process - and Luana uses Elvis and Prince as an example - that when someone "shows up" in one's consciousness, it might not be because they're trying to reach out to us, but there's a reference to them that is in our awareness. Like "one of their songs" might related to an issue happening in their life. "Try not to judge what...

Another mind bending session. As we start every podcast, I had no agenda or idea of whom we might speak with. In this case, Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside, wanted to talk about a request I had made to her about helping someone. Prior to the podcast, in a general conversation about how things are going, just prior to starting, I told Jennifer that a number of chaotic events were occurring, but did not mention anything about a dream or that I had asked Luana for help. When Luana came ...

Jennifer and I can't swing the podcast this week - both have kids off to college, so I've dug into the archives for two podcasts a year apart. It just so happen that two years ago, this very week, my old pal Bill Paxton showed up to chat with us. and then a year later showed up again! Same week. So in honor of Bill, in honor of the process, in honor of the podcast, I'm repeating two in a row. One from September 16 2020, and the next from the same week in 2021. There are plenty of sessions we've ...

This is another example of the unusual work that Jennifer and I have been doing for seven years. In this podcast, I ask our moderator on the flipside, Luana Anders what she wants to talk about or if she has someone who wants to come forward to speak. She begins by showing Jennifer a "toddler" - literally shows her an image of holding up a child. Jennifer has no idea what that means, nor do I. Is she asking us to talk about a specific child on the flipside? A specific child on this side? Or about...

Jennifer and I improvise each week, asking who it is on the flipside wants to chat with us. Luana Anders is our moderator on the flipside, and whoever wants to come through is up to her. Her mentioning this woman "Magda" in terms of a book I'm writing, an interview I did with a woman who was able to access this Magda, who claimed to be a Praetor's wife in the cabinet of Herod in the time of Jesus was pretty unusual. A note here to say that I've never heard of the word Praetor that I'm aware of, ...

A short podcast today as Jennifer was juggling a number of things including her mom being in the hospital. We all wish her mom a speedy recovery from hurting her hip! Today's podcast deals a bit with grief, and the process of helping people recover from grief. Jennifer's dad Jim passed some years ago, and he's always got an interesting perspective when it comes to helping people with grief. He was the one who told us "try to move grief to nostalgia." Neither of us understood what that meant, and...

We're back after a two week hiatus. In this podcast we chat with my dearly departed brother, for whom we had a memorial service this past week. Jennifer was there, as well as some fans of the podcast. In today's podcast, Jennifer announces that Olivia Newton John wants to chat with us. For those who've never tuned in before (or their last time ever tuning in) we have a group of individuals on the flipside who have spoken to us before. They are mentioned briefly in the podcast, including our mode...

Another one of those mind bending sessions. We open with a discussion about an unusual recent event, where my old friend Melinda Germann came through to give a climate warning to my friend Patrice. Patrice and Melinda were best pals and went to Santa Cruz together. I met Melinda at the Loyola Rome Center and she was the light of everyone's eye - funny, sweet and just a delight to be around. However she died in a plane crash a few years later - and since then, has visited Patrice a number of time...

Another example of how we don't plan our podcasts - we could, we can, but in this case, we just let Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside dictate who was going to chat with us. First up was Jennifer's dad Jim, the Mormon bishop who passed five years ago, who had in the past showed us some amazing things on the flipside, including an Akashic library (I asked him to access a memory that Jennifer had no awareness of - and he showed her an event she had forgotten). Jim has shown us the astroph...

Another unusual podcast. For those viewing it on MartiniZone.com - there was a fly in the ointment - a glitch in the file that occurred every few minutes - so a number of things were dropped. However, when possible, I edited the piece together so it made sense. For example, when Jennifer mentions Al Capone, she's trying to say "Marlon Brando in the Godfather." Later on in the conversation, I introduce the film that we went to see in Vegas, starring its most famous former resident. We've spoken t...

In honor of the 25th anniversary of the film CONTACT, I'm reposting our interview with Carl Sagan. FOR A FULL ARTICLE SEE RICHMARTINI.COM We first interviewed him in the book BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE 3, along with other atheists, skeptical scientists. Thought it would be a fun exercise. I'm editing those interviews into a document which I will post on medium and richmartini.com - so people can see the full interviews with Carl. The point of this post is that indeed - we demonstrate CONTACT...

This is one of those podcasts where after it's done, I think "that's it. We've finally shown beyond a shadow of doubt that people can talk to the flipside." Then I format the show, listen to it - listen to myself make mistakes (often) and listen to Jennifer channel people no longer on the planet. Let's start with the stuff that will stop people in their tracks. Bob was not 67 years old. I am 67 years old. Bill Paxton (who shows up later on, is 67 years old, and both he and Bob Saget share a birt...

Did this fun podcast a few weeks ago with Mick and the Psychic. I'm rebroadcasting it with their permission on our podcast "Hacking the Afterlife." What makes it dovetail with the work Jennifer and I are doing is that at some point, two of the people that Jennifer and I interview showed up on this podcast. One is Luana Anders, who fans of our podcast know to be my pal on the flipside who moderates our forum. Imagine my chagrin, when the host of their podcast said "Your friend Luana is here." She...

This session is more about process - communicating with loved ones on the flipside. We get some advice from Luana Anders about how to do it, as well as Jennifer's dad Jim about the general process. A longer discussion about a dream that I had last night where I had the impression that I was having a conversation with someone in England - and he was just enjoying the conversation with me. As well as talking about Jennifer's journey and how she accesses people on the flipside. Another unusual expl...

Jennifer Shaffer is back from her two week trip. Today's podcast was unusual for a number of reasons - I mentioned that Luana and Marlon showed up during a podcast I did with "Mick and the Psychic" - which I will post next week, to give them time to post it on all their podcast outlets. As always, Jennifer and I have not discussed the contents of the podcast, and clearly she was not aware of my conversation with Luana and Marlon - sometimes she is aware of conversations I've had with Luana and o...

On the Day of the Dead a year or two ago, Jennifer gave this talk at the Laguna Woods institute for Afterlife Research. While Jennifer is on vacation, I thought I'd let her talk about her research in her own words. Someone mentioned it on Quora, and I figured it would make an appropriate talk, especially since I filmed it and didn't get a chance to speak! So for all of those who are annoyed with me interrupting Jennifer, here she is, uninterrupted for an hour. Enjoy!...

Happy Birthday Luana! Luana Anders is our pal on the flipside who moderates our conversations with folks on the Flipside. In this case, we began by chatting with her about what that's like to celebrate someone's birthday over there. Some sad news, my dear brother Jeffry passed away last week, and his son Johnny and I had the task of handling those details. There were unknown elements to what happened, so as an example, I asked Jennifer to address those issues as she would with law enforcement wh...

Another mind bending episode chatting with the flipside. Had no idea, no agenda as we always do when doing the podcast. I begin with a shot out to my pal Iris Libby, "AskIrisLibby.com" - Iris and I did a guided meditation which revealed Harry and Greta's conversation from last week. Then I asked our moderator Luana Anders what she wanted to talk about. To address the question, she first put an opera singer in Jennifer's mind, then a performance of "Romeo and Juliet" she had seen recently. I aske...

This one should be called "Garbo Speaks... from the Flipside!" This is about as mind bending as our podcast gets. But wait, there's more! A week ago Sunday, I was doing a session with my pal Iris Libby of "AskIrisLibby.com" fame - I've known Iris most of my life, know her as a successful businesswoman, a pal, who happens to be an amazing astrologer. I've filmed her during her hypnotherapy session training with Scott De Tamble, and some excerpts of her sessions appear in my books. We had an exper...

It's our 100th episode! Whee! Mind you, Jennifer and I started doing this together seven years ago. So it's our ... you do the math ... episode after doing this weekly for seven years. The other sessions are excerpted in the books BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE 1, 2 and 3 - or TUNING INTO THE AFTERLIFE. https://www.audible.com/pd/Tuning-into-the-Afterlife-Audiobook/B09MG8Q5BH As we often do - since doing this for so long - I let the moderator of our class on the flipside direct our conversation....

A bit longer podcast today, talking about "Finding your voice." As always, first we connect with Luana Anders on the Flipside, my friend who passed in 1996 who helps me and Jennifer to facilitate these conversations. There's a conversation up front about that process and how we got started before we ask Luana to introduce the first guest on her list. Elvis came forward to talk about "finding your voice." We didn't ask for him to come forward, but as fans of this podcast know, it's whomever has a...

Today's podcast is about process. In our ongoing conversation with Luana Anders, our pal no longer on the planet but who moderates a classroom on the flipside, we asked her about process. How people are able to connect with their loved ones on the flipside, but from the perspective of someone on the flipside trying to reach out to someone here. In today's conversations, Luana has Charles Grodin, TV producer Howard Schultz and others weigh in on the process. We have guest appearances by Garry Sha...

Happy St. Patrick's Day. Today we have an interesting chat with someone who self identifies as "the Librarian." In this instance, he suggested we call him "Seven" as to avoid separation between us and him. He says that he's the librarian for all the Akashic libraries - normally shows up as an ancient fellow who is about the size and demeanor of Yoda. In the half dozen times I've chatted with him, via different people, each time he gives insight into the journey. In this case he self identifies a...

We had our first guest on our podcast - first guest that is still on the planet that is! I had the good fortune to take a class with Robert Thurman at Columbia University back in the 90's. As noted in my talk at the Conference of Living and Dying recently via Tibet House, I was working for Charles Grodin on his talk show when I audited this class in philosophy. It led me to study Tibetan philosophy - Buddhism in particular, which I find to be a peerless philosophy. Robert is an author of many ex...

Fifteen minutes before our podcast I learned that one of my closest pals on the planet had left the planet. Sally was best friends with Luana Anders, they traipsed around Hollywood together, lived together, stayed best friends for both of their lives. Sally's husband Jonathan Krane was my champion - produced three films that I directed, believed in me as no other person in Hollywood has. He was John Travolta's manager. He also ran a mini studio, pioneered a number of innovative ways of financing...

Another unusual session - this time in Jennifer's office, completely unplanned. In this session, or mentor on the flipside, Luana Anders, suggests that I prepare to speak at the Art of Living and Dying conference (see RichMartini.com for details) by visiting my own council. We take a trip to visit my "council." When I did my first hypnotherapy session for the film and book "Flipside" I met my council. At the time, I didn't think I would "get anywhere" let alone have a conversation with a group o...

Even writing the headline for these podcasts is problematic. Do we know for a fact this was Steve Jobs coming for a chat? No. Jennifer has done a session with his daughter, and Steve has come forward a number of other times to answer questions. As noted in the podcast, she was doubting it was him at first as well. Yes, we discuss the winner of the Super Bowl. Because everyone out there who wants to meet with a medium, wants to use their powers to discern the future. And we have a healthy discuss...
