This week, AP catches up with Adam Sayne, longtime host of the Conspirinormal podcast and organizer of the Strange Realities conferences in Tennessee. The show has been on hiatus, but Adam assures us in this conversation that Conspirirnormal will return- they start off by talking about his thirteen years of hosting, interviewing, and presenting ideas about all manner of weird subjects as well as examining the ever-changing landscape of media and what's generally referred to as "content creation".
From there, the discussion becomes more of a paranormal jam session, with lighthearted chat about some of the more insane conspiracy theories, personalities within ufology and ghost hunting, and the ways these narratives overlap and inform beliefs more broadly. From Flat Earth and Tartaria to organic robotoids, the Nephilim, and Bigfoot, they run the gamut of fringe topics- and end with a look at demonology, and the long shadow cast by Ed and Lorraine Warren over paranormal investigation.

This week, returning guest Solomon Pakal joins AP to discuss Mayan Astrology, and how one can use it to enhance their magical and mundane existence. Solomon is a longtime magical practitioner, a historian of Mesoamerican culture and magic, and Brujo through his Guatemalan ancestral lineage. In this episode, the conversation centers around his work with Mayan Astrology, which he will soon be offering a course on through his Substack. In the episode he outlines how the Maya conception of astrology differs from versions in the west, or in the Vedic tradition, involving more terrestrial and spirit based calendars that overlap in multidimensional ways. He further explains the benefits of using such a system for both personal and global predictions, for personal development, and magical timing.

Solomon is currently writing and sharing video content on his Substack that is well worth your time, and available to free subscribers. Beginning in November paid subscribers will have access to his course on Mayan Astrology, and listeners are encouraged to check it out here: https://substack.com/@solomonpakal

It's a special double feature Third Time's the Charm episode on this week's show, as AP chats with his old friend Ryk McIntyre about two third installments from classic Universal Monster movie franchises. First, they discuss the relatively obscure offering from the Invisible Man series, 1940's The Invisible Woman- a departure from the gothic horror and suspense of the other films, it's more of a screwball comedy and the only Universal picture to feature one of The Three Stooges. Next, they discuss The Creature Walks Among Us, the very last of the original Universal Monster films which, for better or worse, shows you the Creature from the Black Lagoon like you've never seen him before.

Ryk is an actor, a poet, and currently works as a tour guide, researcher, and writer for the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River, MA. Learn more about the location here: https://lizzie-borden.com/
