Journey to the Fringe
Thanks for checking out our podcast! We look at fringe topics often neglected, or ill discussed, in a light hearted and open manner. These topics run the gambit from the mundane water pollution, recycling, and tax evasion to the fantastical moth persons, time travellers, and paranormal. For us there’s no cryptid too creepy, topic too trivial, or djinn to dreary. Also we like to do exposes on assholes of the UFO community. To keep things fresh (and also because we aren’t really sure how to start podcasts) we start every week off with a Fringey Mini recent news arti...
Back by Slightly Questionable Demand: Nazi UFOs

Nazis and UFOs go together like peanut butter and conspiracy jelly — weird, sticky, and impossible to ignore. This episode blasts off into the wild world where Third Reich science meets flying saucers, ghost rockets, and a mystery gadget called Die Glocke — a contraption so mysterious it might just bend time, space, or your sense of reality. We unpack WWII’s “foo fighters,” secret Antarctic bases, jet-age Nazi tech, and occult experiments that make sci-fi look amateur. From wartime skies to Cold War paranoia and underground UFO fleets, buckle up — it’s a wild, sassy trip through one of history’s freakiest “wha...
Fringey Mini: All washed up

We’re in for yet another treat; rich people and their emoceans. I think that’s what we’re calling it.
This week Residents in Falmouth, Massachusetts, describe their seaside idyll as “the ultimate beach-side dream”—until knee-deep floods and encroaching tides turn it into a soggy nightmare. In one memorable moment, a distraught homeowner quipped, “We grabbed the cat and got out,” as sea level rise nudges increasingly frequent retreat plans and dune-fix schemes.

Stargates and Dr. Michael Salla - Part 2 of 2

Oh my god guys editing this episode was a nightmare, the recording was not great (thanks Craig) and the editing software decided to lag the whole edit so maybe the higher ups don't want you to hear this one... or maybe coincidences do exist!!
So this is a continuation of our last episode where we finish off Dr. Michael Salla's look at the Iraqi stargate and then look at other things he has discussed. It is a lot of fun and I think it turned out pretty good all things considered! Enjoy!
<...Fringey Mini: Robot Race

Hello, welcome back. This week Taylor was feeling good (again 🙄)….though in the end we did end up feeling like an AI.
This week we’re jumping into the wild world of robots running a marathon, if you feel compelled to say it’s not AI, this is neither the time or place.
That’s right robots running a half marathon. Need I say more? Yes, I need but this is a mini and you get what you pay for.
The most important thing to note is 1.) listen to the episode and 2.) here’s the link fo...
Stargates and Dr. Michael Salla - Part 1 of 2

so this episode is an amalgamation of two topics, it is mostly a Dr, Sala episode but we mostly cover his work on the stargate. SO enjoy the ride, this guy is fascinating!
Fringey Minis - Airmiles Andy and his old pal Epstein

Our ol' pal British Andy has had morbidly the best luck of anybody in 2025. What do we mean? will give it a listen and you will see why his first flight away from his royal safety net has to be to Vegas.

Extraordinary: J3 P2

Buckle up, because this week we wrap our skeptical little hearts around Extraordinary: The Revelations—the third and allegedly most profound installment in the series that promised to demystify UFOs for the masses… and kinda didn’t. With a 5.4 IMDb rating and a roll call of ufology’s VIPs, you’d think we’d be swimming in disclosure gold. Instead, it’s jargon without explanation, regression therapy thrown around like a BuzzFeed quiz, and filmmakers whose “deep ties to the unexplained” might just mean they own a Ouija board.
We dig into the odd disconnect between their goal of mass acces...
Fringey Mini: Pour One Out for the Economy

Ghana’s Drunkards Association just gave the government a three-week ultimatum: drop alcohol prices or they’ll “shut down everywhere”—bars, clubs, you name it. With the cedi gaining strength but booze still getting pricier, they’re not tipsy—they’re pissed off and ready to protest.
Brought to you by Journey to the Fringe, we don't pay for things.

It all started with a Tiger

Today is the day we’ve been waiting for, a follow up on the Extraordinary—The Stan Romanek Story (aka Stanley Tiger), where alien encounters take a backseat to… FBI-framed child porn charges.
That was weird, right?! So weird we thought we’d follow up on J3 films and the two other Extraordinary films, it’s hard to follow but they tried! First up—The Seeding—a wild ride into alien hybrid baby experiments (complete with questionable sperm visuals 👀)—and The Revelations, where UFO experts debate biblical prophecies, government cover-ups.
Think they can top Stanley Tiger? This episode...
Fringey Mini: It all started with a wolf

What if the Big Bang wasn’t the beginning of everything—but just the Universe rebounding from a massive black hole collapse? Yep, we might be living inside a black hole. No mystery fields, no cosmic hocus-pocus—just gravity, quantum sass, and a whole new way to look at our cosmic origins. Buckle up, brain melt ahead.

Sticking it to us

Happy Friday… or is it…? This week, we dive into the slippery story of PFAS—also known as “forever chemicals”—and how DuPont helped introduce them into everyday life. From the accidental invention of Teflon by Roy J. Plunkett to DuPont’s billion-dollar empire built on non-stick convenience, we trace the rise of PFAS and their dark legacy. These chemicals, once celebrated for their water and heat resistance, are now found in the blood of nearly every human and animal on Earth. We explore the health consequences, the decades of corporate cover-ups, environmental contamination, and the legal reckoning that followed. It’s...
Fringey Mini: The Sky’s the Grid

China’s planning a massive solar power station in space that could beam energy back to Earth and outproduce all our oil in a single year. We unpack the tech, wonder how anyone turns a profit on it, and speculate—reasonably—on what this could mean for the future of energy, geopolitics, and good old-fashioned power grabs.

Gulf Breeze: the incident (part 1 of 2)

In this gripping episode of Journey to the Fringe, we dive deep into the legendary Gulf Breeze Incident — one of the most compelling and controversial UFO sightings in modern history. Join us as we explore the eerie experiences of Ed Walters, the mysterious lights over Gulf Breeze, and the enduring questions that have baffled ufologists for decades. Was it an elaborate hoax, advanced military technology, or an authentic extraterrestrial encounter? We analyze eyewitness testimonies, government responses, and the cultural impact of this iconic UFO case. Whether you're a seasoned UFO researcher or a curious newcomer, this episode unpacks the se...
Fringey Minis - In all seriousness, a Uranus moon story

So it looks like one of Uranus' moons, Miranda, may have an ocean and by extension life! There is a very good chance that this is simply because we do not have enough data but exciting none the less... Also I don't think we make any Uranus jokes (don't hold me to that though!).

Van meter and friends

Winged horrors and mysterious figures take center stage this week as we explore two legendary cryptids: the Van Meter Visitor—a bat-winged beast that terrorized an Iowa town in 1903—and the Solway Firth Spaceman, a mysterious figure caught in a family photo that sparked global UFO theories. Two strange stories, one weird ride. Spaze jazz is the background music this week, thank you Kevin Macloud for doing a solid and creating the music of the angels.
Don’t forget to like us, share us and follow us for good juju
Fringey Mini: The devil's in the divots

This week, we swing into a strange new study linking golf courses to Parkinson’s disease. Turns out, living within a mile of a course could more than double your risk—especially if your tap water shares a source with those pesticide-soaked greens.
We dive into the data, the chemicals, and why something as innocent as a putting green might not be so innocent after all. Is your local golf course messing with your brain?
Grab your clubs (or don’t)—it’s time to talk turf, toxins, and tremors.
A couple pope conspiracies

Hey there's a new pope! and we decided to talk popes so guess what... WE'RE covering the John Pauls (the nice boys in the pope boy band). Enjoy and let us know your pope name!

A hot take from the other side

This episode the after life is giving Michigan a run for it's money... we’re diving straight into the deep (and occasionally demonic) end of near-death experiences—because sometimes the tunnel doesn’t lead to a warm, loving light… it leads to shrieking shadows, bottomless voids, and the occasional hellish pit stop.
In this episode, we crack open the lesser-known vault of distressing NDEs. Forget the peaceful reunions and celestial symphonies—this is the stuff of spiritual horror films, only reported by real people, across cultures and beliefs. From spinning in cosmic isolation to encountering grotesque...
Fringey Mini: hummmmmmmmmmmmm

Welcome to your hump day pick me up, and good news, Taylor has it!
On this episode, we head to the windswept Isle of Lewis, where residents are being haunted by… a hum. Yes, a mysterious, low-frequency droning noise that no one can quite locate—or agree on. Is it a marine mystery? A malfunctioning machine? Or just the sound of our own inner chaos? We dive into the drama, meet the Facebook detectives, and ask the hard questions: Why does your ear hum only in Scotland? Should dolphins be worried? And most importantly—can you hum it, or...
An astronaut and his implications: Edgar Mitchell part 2 of 2

In this thrilling second half we take a look at Edgar Mitchell's career with UFOs and aliens and all the twist and turns it takes. I would write more but I don't really want to spoil it.
Fringey Minis - Another Epstein Suicide
Well a big name in the Epstein Conspiracy, Virginia Giuffre, just committed suicide... and it's a weird story. So it's a natural fit for us.... Umm there's some pretty big trigger warnings regarding suicides and sexual assaults, viewer discretion is advised.
Astronaut who stares at UFOs: Edgar Mitchell Part 1 of 2

In this episode of Journey to the Fringe, we step into the boots of Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut and the sixth person to walk on the moon. From his rigorous training at NASA to the breathtaking lunar expedition, we follow Mitchell’s journey as he leaves Earth, lands on the moon, and returns home.
But something happened up there—something profound. As Mitchell gazed out at the stars on his way back, he experienced a shift in consciousness, an overwhelming sense that humanity was deeply interconnected with the universe. This moment would change his life forever… or was th...

Fetch Me a Cryptid

This week at Journey to the Fringe we're obsessed with wolves of all types- bipeds, Dire Wolves... probably others?
That's right, we're diving deep into yet another great lake anaomaly... at least loosley in the neighborhood, and that's the legend of the Dogman—not to be confused with Dave Pilkey’s graphic novel hero, though this cryptid might also rip up your mail. From Michigan’s misty Manistee River to Pennsylvania’s moonlit pastures, sightings of this upright, canine-headed creature go way back, often showing up uninvited, and sometimes with a cigarette between its teeth (we don’t judge...
Fringey Mini: Things are getting Dire

In this howlingly strange mini, we sink our teeth into the buzz around Colossal Biosciences' claim that they’ve resurrected the dire wolf—yes, the same fang-faced legends from Game of Thrones. But are these snow-white pups really ancient predators reborn, or just very expensive cosplay wolves? We sniff out the science behind gene editing, prehistoric DNA, and some eyebrow-raising semantics as scientists clash over whether Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi are breakthroughs in de-extinction—or just glorified gray wolves with a dramatic backstory. Spoiler alert: evolution is messier than your average family tree.
As always... like, share and fo...
Return to Serpo - We're putting a team together
Guess what!! There's lots more Serpo papers to go through. Today we are going to learn about the planning of the exchange program and the selection and psychological torturing of the team sent to Serpo. Also some weird AI happenings are included in this episode which I don't think anyone was expecting.
Fringey Minis - The blubbery new ocean delicacy
This week there's a whole lot going on, but I think it ends with a relevant story about orcas and climate change!

Just Vibes, No Soul

This episode we’re diving headfirst into the wild world of backdrop people — a.k.a. NPCs, extras, energy shells, or the folks who might just be here to fill in the scene while the real players evolve. Think: simulation vibes, and a sprinkle of existential spice.
Are they soulless placeholders? Catalysts for your spiritual glow-up? Or just your neighbor Steve?
Press play to find out — and while you’re at it, like, share, follow and stay in the main character energy.
Fringey Mini: Handshake from Hell

Alright folks, gather 'round for this hell-raising Fringey Mini. This week, we're diving headfirst into a story that’s less “Touched by an Angel” and more “Touched by Something That Needs an Exorcism, Stat.”
We’re talking about the not-so-holy crossover between Latter-day Saint doctrine and demonic possession—yep, demons are apparently freeloading in Utah basements now. From Ruby Franke’s cayenne-spiced parenting tips (hot take, literally) to Lori Vallow Daybell’s poolside apocalypse book club, things are getting possessively weird.
We’ll explore how this doctrine is leading to some seriously unholy behavior—like bishop...
Peruvian Face Peeling Aliens - From many perspectives

Obtuse Encounters of the Triangular Kind

What’s flying silently through the night sky, bigger than a football field, and shaped like a cosmic Dorito? You guessed it—triangle UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), the VIPs of the UFO world. In this episode, we deep-dive into some of the most iconic sightings—from the eerie stillness of the Hudson Valley and the radar-dodging triangles over Belgium, to the mile-wide V drifting over Phoenix and the unforgettable Stephenville shocker.
We explore the theories (aliens or top-secret tech?), share jaw-dropping witness accounts, and even a few stories where someone may or may not have yelled at one fr...
Fringey Mini: The lame version of immortality

In this mind-bending episode, we dive into the world of biological computers—yes, you heard that right, biological! Australian startup Cortical Labs has just launched the world’s first "code deployable biological computer," the CL1. Think of it as a shoe box packed with actual brain cells running neural networks—talk about bringing your brain to work!
We explore how these brainy devices have come a long way since Cortical Labs taught petri dish-grown neurons how to play Pong—talk about giving your neurons some serious gaming cred! But this isn’t just about neurons having fun; Cortical L...
John Hutchison - of "the Hutchison Effect" Fame
In this electrifying episode of Journey to the Fringe, we dive into the enigmatic world of John Hutchison, the maverick inventor behind the mysterious "Hutchison Effect." Known for his unconventional experiments with electromagnetic fields and Tesla-inspired technology, Hutchison's work has sparked intrigue, skepticism, and even government interest. From levitating objects to disintegrating metals, the Hutchison Effect defies explanation and blurs the line between science and the paranormal. Join us as we unravel the story of this eccentric Canadian scientist, his groundbreaking discoveries, and the controversies that surround his legacy. Is it science, pseudoscience, or something else entirely? Tune in...
