A field trip to the Akashic library. Another mind bending podcast. Jennifer's mom passed away last week, and she took us on a field trip to visit the Akashic library. No other way to put it. First Prince showed up to talk a little bit about being connected to people, then Matthew Perry talked about a client that Jennifer had worked with that he showed up during their session. I asked Matthew if he was attending any classes on the flipside, and he replied "any that I can get my light into." It's ...

Jennifer went through a difficult week of loss, two key players in her life, her mom Linda and her 14 year old dog Chloe. She mentioned that Chloe was going to leave the stage on the last podcast, but in the interim, her mom had a fall and passed away yesterday. The only reason we did the podcast today is to help Jennifer work through some of her grief. By accessing her father Jim on the other side, he could help her, and then by speaking directly to her dog, Chloe, that was also helpful. As her...

It's that time of year again - the Super Duper Bowl, and we have a super duper podcast to enjoy. Some years ago, we were just starting this research, and the Microsoft found Paul Allen passed away. So as an experiment, I asked three people we'd spoken to on the flipside, who knew him, to come forward and help us chat with Paul. At the time I didn't know that we could "invite anyone" - but figured if we could invite Paul, he'd be more comfortable with some of his pals. Much to my chagrin (It's in...

This is one of the those podcasts where I know who it is that I'm talking to offstage, but Jennifer does not - until she realizes who it is. It happens on camera, so no one can be in doubt about what it is we are doing. We have been doing this for eight years - weekly - where I invite someone to "get past the velvet rope" of the classroom of students that Luana Anders has amassed on the flipside, people who want to speak to those back on the planet, and she helps them to do so. Just the same way...

As these reports about Amelia Earhart's plane fly in - (pun intended) here's one of our many interviews with the aviatrix herself. (There are seven more listed at EARHARTONSAIPAN.COM) I appreciate all the interest - but seriously, she's home. She's available. Anyone can ask her questions about her journey. I've spent 30 years proving she landed on Mili Atoll, was arrested, taken to Saipan, died there. It's not a mystery to me. What is a mystery is how someone spent 11 million dollars to look for...

Another unusual visit with pals on the Flipside. In today's podcast we have folks who've been to visit us before, but had more to say. One is the Oscar nominated dog Hira, owned by the screenwriter director Robert Towne. Hira's been to visit us before, transcripts are in the book "Backstage Pass to the Flipside." David Crosby stopped by again - after talking to us about what it was like to return to the flipside, and in this case, he wanted to talk further about his semi jaded, snarking observat...

In this podcast we get a visit from people offstage that we know. As usual, we begin the podcast with a conversation with Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside (who left the stage in 1996) and she wants to talk about a recent dream that Jennifer had that included two of her grandfathers. They come through with expressions of love, as well as a discussion of how we can access our loved ones offstage. Then later, my father comes through and wants to discuss his grandson Richard Jr. It's unus...

An unusual visit with folks off planet. First Jennifer talks about losing her dad's ring prior to our last podcast. Fortunately, she was able to find it, again, but it allowed us to ask her father on the flipside about it. Jim has been a frequent visitor to our conversations - since Jennifer and I started meeting up 8 years ago. He passed back in 2017, and when he started visiting us, I realized that Jennifer couldn't speak when he was around. So I asked him "What can we tell people in terms of ...

Here's our extended New Year's Day podcast; starts with a conversation about predictions - while many reach out to mediums to ask to "predict what's going to happen" as noted, mediums like Jennifer have a "better view of likely outcomes." Even then, they're translating what they're getting, and likely outcomes don't always come to pass. A discussion of a new study that correlates solar flares and earthquakes. How the study by physicists (not geologists) shows the effects of solar flares can be m...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders and Charles Dickens HERE'S A REPLAY OF LAST YEAR'S CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY PODCAST It sounds bizarre, I know. We interviewed Charles briefly in the book "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" so his presence didn't throw me for a loop. I really did look at a note on my cellphone this morning about a story that he's in - and his pal Washington Irving. And for him to say "that's why I stopped by" is mind bending to say the least. We start off the podca...

Another one for the ages. In this episode, I invited two people to come to our podcast booth. One was Norman Lear, the prolific TV producer, and the other was Leonard Bernstein. I have just seen the Premiere of #MAESTRO #Netflix #StevenSpielberg #MartinScorsese #BradleyCooper #CareyMulligan #MayaHawke - and wondering if I might be able to invite the Maestro himself #LeonardBernstein and his wife #FeliciaMontealegre to our podcast. I didn't tell Jennifer who I was inviting, other than Lenny. I di...

As all in all of our podcasts, Jennifer and I have no clue who we're going to speak to during our session. Sometimes I ask or invite people to come forward, and sometimes Jennifer states up front "so and so is here." In today's podcast, we asked Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside, to let us know if she wanted to bring someone forward or talk about process. Jennifer said "she wants to speak to you about your next book." I am writing my next book, it's kind of what I do - it's a little af...

Sometimes we have podcasts where Luana Anders wants to talk about process or connecting to those we love who are offstage. In this anniversary edition - we can't tell if it's been 8 or 9 years of us getting together like this, we have a conversation about connecting with loved ones over the holidays. Needless to say, they're available. They can be conversed with if one wants to. We've spoken about it in the book BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE, the idea of "setting a chair aside" for a loved one ...

"If you believe, it's easier to receive." Our weekly conversation begins with a general discussion about talking to loved ones offstage, how it seems to be easier for people to do nowadays. Jennifer mentions that she has a couple of days of openings on her calendar, so find out more info at JenniferShaffer.com We ask our moderator on the Flipside Jennifer Shaffer if she has anyone she wants to reference, she begins by discussing dreams that Jennifer has had where she was with her cat who passed ...

There was a glitch at the end of the podcast so I'm uploading it again... As usual - Jennifer and I have no idea what we're going to talk about, or who we're going to speak to. We have our moderator on the flipside, Luana Anders to thank for our guest list. Today's podcast is the 2023 DAY OF THE DEAD version. We start off talking about Jennifer's latest events, (JenniferShaffer.com) - as we note in this podcast, by remembering our loved ones, we realize this is the DAY OF THE NOT DEAD. Because w...

Tonight's podcast begins with a reference to the documentary AFTER DEATH which I happened to go to their premiere. It's about the data, research from near death experiences, and focuses on some of the NDE's that included visits with "heaven" or "god" or "Jesus." Angel.com studios is a crowd funded distribution network, and their members vote which films they'd like to see. In this case, something that's up my alley - I saw the film and wished I had made it. They interview scientists talking abou...

We don't plan our podcasts in advance, and let the folks on the flipside, our class organized by Luana Anders (my pal who passed in 1996 and who brought me and Jennifer together). Luana is in charge of the topics discussed and the guest list. Podcast begins with a discussion about the recent tragic events in Israel. Some of Jennifer's sessions are involved with people whose children serve in the military overseas or are scheduled to serve. In our podcast we generally don't discuss matters involv...

As we like to point out, we have no clue who is on our guest list when we start the podcast. Luana brought three people we've spoken with before, and they wanted to weigh in on the same topic that was talked about last week - that is, how to get out of a negative mindset, as well as how to treat the negative impacts of football or drug abuse on the brain. In this case, Paul Allen, the cofounder of Microsoft who created the brain institute stopped by. When Jennifer and I first met Paul it was som...

One of the most unusual podcast I can remember. Jennifer and I decided to meet up today at the last minute, and had no idea or clue what might be the topic of discussion. This one is about addiction in all of it's forms. Jennifer first talked about her own experience with the use of drugs, or cigarettes or alcohol - and then a number of people came forward to talk about the subject. Elvis came forward to talk about his own issues in this area. Then Janis Joplin came forward - we had interviewed ...

Another fun adventure with the flipside. Jennifer Shaffer works with law enforcement agencies nationwide on missing person cases. For the past 8 years we meet up weekly to talk to people offstage. I've been filming people talking to loved ones offstage for fifteen years. Examples are in the documentaries FLIPSIDE; MY JOURNEY INTO THE AFTERLIFE https://www.amazon.com/Flipside-Journey-Afterlife-Richard-Martini/dp/B0081U6K1Y TALKING TO BILL PAXTON, https://www.amazon.com/Backstage-Pass-Flipside-Tal...

Another mind bending episode. Luana Anders is our pal on the flipside who generates the guest list. In this case it was someone who passed away recently, musician Gary Wright. Gary was famous for his song "Dream Weaver." He worked with George Harrison and others in a long career. Jennifer did a private session with him in his home a few years ago, and he wanted to talk about his journey to the flipside. He talked about who greeted him there, and what his experience was like. Gary was a fan of th...

Another mind bending podcast. As noted, Jennifer Shaffer and I have been doing these weekly meetings for 8 years. It was not long after John McCain's passing that I was upstairs in my apt. and heard his voice say "I understand you're the guy to get a message to my family." I was startled - I didn't know him, met his chief of staff while researching "Three for the Road" in DC, but had no connection to him. Yet I could tell it was his voice. I said to him what I say to everyone "I'm not in charge ...

Today's podcast is about managing energy and the myth of Er. As noted, we don't speak prior to our podcast, not for any particular reason, just that's how it's worked out for the past 8 years. So whatever comes up is either what pops into my head or what Jennifer sees, hears or gets in reply to my questions. In this case, Jennifer mentions that she's had a hard week at work with her law enforcement cases and other issues; and so we turn that into a question for Luana on how to manage energy - or...

First there's a number of mistakes that I made in this podcast. (Note: Not that Jennifer makes, but that I make). One is that the film Dementia 13 was made in 1963, not 1967. Then there's a discussion with Elvis about his granddaughter Riley, who has a daughter who is not an actress, at least yet; she's only 2. People sometimes complain that there are "too many celebrities on our podcast" - again, Jennifer is not in charge of the guest list, I ask Luana Anders to bring the guest list. In this ca...

A new episode! Jennifer was whisked off to the Caribbean, then to London, and finally back home to her office where I was able to steal a half hour of her time between clients. Again, Jennifer is available via JenniferShaffer.com - She works with law enforcement agencies nationwide pro bono on missing person cases. We've been meeting up like this for 8 years. The past two on our podcast "Hacking the Afterlife." I reference the podcast with Rob Lowe and the medium Rebecca Rosen, who had a convers...

In light of the amazing, terrific, mind bending interview that Rob Lowe did with Bill Paxton on his podcast with Rebecca Rosen this week (see link below) I'm reposting one of our conversations with Bill from September 2011. Listen to Rob Lowe's podcast, listen to the dream he had about his friend Bill, then listen to our podcast and see the similarities of what Bill is reporting from the flipside. Not gone. Just not here. These are the liner notes from that session: (seen at MartiniZone.com) Thi...

Jennifer is still on vacation, and I'm recovering from surgery. So today's podcast is a repeat from a year ago. Fun to see how things that we heard a year ago still apply. 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, ...

Jennifer is still on vacation, deep sea diving somewhere in the Atlantic. In order to encourage people to go through some of our previous podcasts, here's one from two years ago when I had my hip replaced. We talk about my trip to Mt. Kailash where I put my friend's titanium hip in a stupa, a stone sculpture made by thousands who'd walked around Mt. Kailash over the years. Considered one of the most sacred spots on earth by Hindus, Jains, the Bon and Tibetan Buddhists, I had taken that trip in 2...

Podcast begins with a general discussion about the recent submarine disaster, Bill Paxton stops by to say hello. When Jennifer and I first met, it was doing a session with my old friend Bill, who introduced himself by putting her in the submarine he took to visit the Titanic. She didn't know who she was at first, nor why he was showing her the ship. He talks generally about how things went awry, and cites his pal James Cameron. Then Charles Grodin stops by to talk about his godson RJ and his rec...
