His writing has been published in the New York Times, LA Review of Books, and Religion & Politics, among other outlets. He is also the co-host of the...

Nov 02, 2023•11 min•Transcript available on Metacast In January and February of last year, the normal operations of Canada's capital city of Ottawa were disrupted by the so-called Freedom Convoy. The convoy involved hundreds of trucks and personal vehicles and thousands of protestors at its peak, who made a lot of noise and blocked traffic before finally being cleared out. The initial convoy movement was created to protest vaccine mandates for crossing the United States border, but later evolved into a protest about COVID-19 mandates in general. B...

And it's packed to the gills with QAnon weirdness, far-right grievances, poems about Pomeranians and broken writing. Somehow they landed an interview with RFK Jr? Plus they launched a children's magazine! Fun for everyone in George 2.0.

Oct 15, 2023•9 min•Transcript available on Metacast In past QAA cryptid episodes, we typically find a creature thought to be real, but then is later debunked by modern science. For this week’s Spectral Voyager, we thought it would be interesting to do the opposite: Start with a creature once believed to be a myth, until scientists were able to actually prove its existence. The Giant Squid has fascinated Jake since he was a young boy, and he, Brad, and Julian will pour through the animal’s legendary sightings dating all the way back to the fifteen...

Oct 08, 2023•14 min•Transcript available on Metacast On October 4th FEMA, in conjunction with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), will conduct a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA). For those of us in the normie world, this is a dull bureaucratic event. But conspiracists, it’s something much more — a potentially catastrophic event. One that will spread illness and disease that may even transform people into zombies. In this episode, we dive into the conspirituality gurus who started this...
Oct 03, 2023•59 min•Transcript available on Metacast We finally did a UFO episode, and it’s our retelling of one of the most confounding and mysterious cases on record: The Socorro Saucer. This case has all the makings of a cognitive conundrum: a credible main witness (Lonnie Zamora), secondary witnesses, physical evidence, the Air Force classifying it as unknown, and a lack of convincing alternate explanations. This UFOlogical tale is told in parallel with the story of the Jacques Cousteau of UFOs (and channeler of ascended masters), the swaggies...

What would follow was a year-plus long investigation that included everything from fu...

Sep 08, 2023•8 min•Transcript available on Metacast When it comes to possession, we’re used to hearing stories about the demonic variety. But there’s another side to it: those anointed by the Holy Spirit in religious movements such as Pentecostalism. This type of possession crescendos to ecstatic states, along with spastic movements, snake and fire handling, poison drinking, and faith healing. And in this rare case, a murder done in the name of God. This is the story of one of the most bizarre, depraved, & little-known acts of spirit possession e...

Aug 21, 2023•11 min•Transcript available on Metacast For hundreds of years the Rothschild banking family played a central role in conspiracist narratives. In the 19th century the Rothschilds’ massive wealth, war profiteering, connections to powerful governments, and pioneering banking strategies earned them well-deserved scrutiny. But myths about the Rothschilds eventually became a way to promote anti semitic attacks and disguise them as critiques of wealth and power. To help us separate fact from myth when it comes to the Rothschild family, we ar...
