INT. SUBCONSCIOUS MIND – NIGHT. A man stares into a spiral. A voice enters the room. The loop begins.

UFOs & F.U. Ghosts with Paranormal Investigator Les Durrant

Have you seen the film The Substance yet? You know, the one with Demi Moore. Where she’s a fading Hollywood star who injects herself with a green fluid that promises it can magically make her transform into the best version of herself? Young, pretty, perky, skin without wrinkles. The promise of youth again. It’s good. But gross. But, like, Demi Moore is great in it. But ew. Just curious if you saw it. Not relevant at all, genuinely curious. Anyways….this episode of Open Loops is as immersive an ...

IF- in a Hypothetical, Theoretically Non-Admissible, and Purely Speculative Reality- HE DIDN'T NOT DO IT: O.J. Simpson's Moon: O.J. Simpson's MOON with Author and Journalist B.T. Wedemeyer

Sometimes Greg wonders if he's sick in the mind —and considering this is an episode about O.J. Simpson ( the benchmark of mental stability), that's saying something. Why the fear? The trepidation? Because this week, Open Loops dares to go where it dare not tread without full commitment. ( Greg also has issues with commitment. ) Yes, we're talking about the realm of TRUE(r) Crime. Oh, please… not another true crime podcast! For the love of Mel Robbins , let them, let them, let them… protect Open ...

We Don't Talk About New Drones, No, No, No: Our Ancestral Lineage in the Stars with Ki'Shara Ninki, Author and Genetic Historian

Welcome to 2025. Remember all the buzz last month about ET disclosure? Those strange ...things....hovering in the skies of New Jersey—lights blinking, colors shifting, orbs appearing and vanishing in plain sight. Large machines, unlike anything we’ve seen before, flying over military bases. But here’s the kicker: the news, social media, and those in charge? They’re silent. They claim they don’t know what they are. And just like that, the stories vanish. Poof. You’d expect the Open Loops podcast ...

Cosmic Clucking Chickens**ts: What The "Disclosure" Movement Won't Admit with Antarctica Whistleblower Eric J. Hecker

A guest too controversial for "Coast to Coast AM"?!? Eric J. Hecker, a contractor who spent time at South Pole Station and found stuff he wasn't supposed to (a directed energy weapon that might be mind-controlling the masses, but hey, forget that, shop Black Friday and you'll finally find happiness). Yes, Eric returns for his 3rd Open Loops appearance where he wants to shed light on the thing bothering him the most: deceit in the disclosure community. Yup, those so-called government whistleblowe...

Holo-Ween Special: Further Adventures in the Real-Life X-Files with Dr. Richard Alan Miller

He met an alien at Area 61. He traveled beneath Antarctica’s ice and uncovered the Nazi UFO base. The X-Files? Yeah, that was based on his work. In this Special Halloween Episode of Open Loops , you'll find answers to such bone-chilling questions as: "Is our understanding of life and consciousness as fragile as our perception of reality?" "What makes children our most valuable resource?" "Is physics the new 'religion' guiding our belief systems?" "Could cosmic alignments or distant planets like ...

No Chakra Frisk Search When You Astral Travel First Class with Kundalini Research Project's Swami Mounamurti Saraswati

Greg's talked to witches. Greg's talked to psychics. Greg's conversed with ETs. He's sipped tea over secret government black ops programs. He's been charmed by a vocal cartoonist and sensual temple mistress (not in the same episode, but that's not a bad idea). But this is the first time, after 4 years of Open Loops.....that Greg finally gets to speak to.... A SWAMI! Yes, Hindu ascetics on the spiritual path rarely do such strange podcasts, but Greg's guest this week, Swami Mounamurti Saraswati (...

Answering the Age-Old Riddle: Nature, Nurture, or Involuntary Extraterrestrial DNA Insertion with Molecular Biologist Max Rempel, PhD

Today's guest is Max Rempel, Molecular Biologist and PHD. Open Loops has a PhD on the show?!?! It wouldn't be the first time a true academic and practitioner came on the show....it's more that after 280 episodes of shamelessly fringe madness, Greg's just shocked he can get one back! Max must've never listened to it. That said, don't let the title fool you. Dr. Rempel sees through the matrix, he's explored the depths of consciousness, had experiences that contradict empirical material understandi...

Deepen' Dots: Hypnosis of the Future with Microdosing Hypnotist Désirée Eckert

Sure, this podcast goes into ghouls, and ETs, and conspiracies, and all kinds of kookiness. But Greg's original love, the reason he knew he had to start Open Loops: Hypnosis. Greg talks a lot about hypnosis. Even the title, "Open Loops" is built on Greg's fervent desire to seek out alternative trance states that help expand consciousness. And when it's put it like that, it actually sounds serious. Or like you just landed in Denver. But oftentimes, hypnosis seems scary. There are myths, stigmas, ...

Everything you always wanted to know about sex * magick but were afraid to ask with Moon-Rose Magick, Temple Mistress & Eros Artist

23Me and the Annunaki: Evidence of ET Genealogy with Archeologist Ki'Shara Ninki

Ki'Shara Ninki. She's that special kind of researcher/writer/explorer/archeologist/occult theologian that ruins your family meal by passing around laminated charts of your bloodline and tracing your ancestry back to metaphysically enabled lizards from Mars. She's invited to Greg's seders any time she wants. On this non-stop mind- blowing marathon of a conversation, Ki'Shara shares things you've never heard before on other paranormal/UFO shows, but does one thing a lot of guests can't: supports a...

The War of START: Mental Fitness for the Too Analytical, Fearfully Cynical & Clinically Clinical with Personal Change Agent and Neurolinguist James Tripp

How does bashing the ineffectiveness of today's obsession with mental health turn into a deconstruction of "conspiracy theory consciousness?"

Known for his work in advancing hypnosis without trance, his mastery of neurolinguistics, and his natural ability to foster personal change, James has perspectives unlike any you've ever heard. Some'll shock you, some'll go against everything you've held dearly, and most will open up your unconsc...
