Ep. 223: Reinventing SETI: New Directions in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
Last Tuesday at 4:00 AM

Welcome back to Tinfoil Tales! On this episode I am joined by my guest, John Gertz. John was once the director of SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and was one of the leading people in the science community trying to discover life outside of our planet.

As public interest in UFOs (or UAPs) surges, from NASA reports to Congressional hearings, the phenomena is at a boiling point. As board chair of the SETI Institute, Gertz is uniquely positioned to cut through the noise. With his forthcoming book Reinventing SETI: New Directions in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (Oxford Un...


Ep. 6: Foiled Fridays - Bugonia and Don't Believe Everything You Hear!
10/24/2025

Welcome back to another Foiled Fridays! This is another solo episode with Brandon as I discuss Tinfoil Tales involvement with the new Focus Features release Bugonia, in select theaters today, and opening wide Oct 31st. A part of a Tinfoil Tales episode will be included in the film, as one of the main characters listens to the podcast. That leads me to the topic of not always believing everything you hear on podcasts, or everything you read online. There is a real danger that can come from that and it might end up influencing more harm than good.

From a possible bigfoot encounter in the Sierra mountains to seeing what she believes was an anlien at foot of her bed, Rachel dives into some of these events with me.

Ep. 5: Foiled Fridays
10/17/2025

Welcome back to another Foiled Friday episode. On this little episode I rant a little bit about Big Pharma and how the government just doesn't actually care about any of us. 

If you're a fan of Tinfoil Tales, this is just a solo episode with Brandon. Foiled Fridays are just my way of venting some of the things I think about. It could be funny, it could be serious, but it's a little different than a normal Tinfoil Tales episode.

09/23/2025

Welcome back to Tinfoil Tales! On this episode I am joined by author Giano Cromley. Giano had a Bigfoot experience years ago that influenced him to write the novel American Mythology. 

This big-hearted novel follows two lifelong friends, Jute and Virgil, the only members of the Basic Bigfoot Society in rural Montana. Each year, they go on an expedition to find the infamous Sasquatch, with little success.

Ep. 1: Foiled Fridays
09/12/2025

Welcome to the first ever episode of Foiled Fridays. This is a little different than the normal Tinfoil Tales episodes as I am not with a guest.
