Ep. 258: Lucifer's Flat Earth
In this episode of Tinfoil Tales, Brandon is joined by Dylan, a longtime broadcaster and author of Lucifer’s Flat Earth, for a deep and controversial conversation that challenges mainstream understanding of reality, science, and belief systems.
Dylan shares how his journey into the flat earth topic began in 2015 as an attempt to disprove it, only to find himself questioning long-held assumptions about space, science, and the nature of the world.

What began as an unexpected and shocking experience has evolved into years of detailed interactions, observations, and documentation that challenge conventional science and understanding.

These include insights into alien biology, advanced technologies, and the structure of different extraterrestrial species and...
Ep. 256: The First Person: A Close Encounter with Sasquatch and What It Tried to Tell Me
In this episode of Tinfoil Tales, Brandon sits down with Ernie, who shares one of the most detailed and unsettling Sasquatch encounters ever discussed on the show.

Ep. 255: Strange Light: UFOs, Paranormal Encounters, and the Stories That Change Everything
In this episode of Tinfoil Tales, Brandon sits down with author Edson to discuss his book Strange Light, a collection of firsthand accounts from people who have experienced the unexplained.
From UFO sightings and paranormal encounters to near-death experiences and synchronicities, the conversation explores how these events shape the people who live through them. Edson shares how his perspective shifted over time, moving from curiosity and skepticism to a deeper fascination with the unknown. Rather than trying to prove or disprove these phenomena, he focuses on the human side of the experiences—what people saw, how it affected th...
Ep. 254: Bigfoot, UFOs, and the Science They Don’t Want Funded
What happens when a real scientist steps into the paranormal world?
In this episode of Tinfoil Tales, Brandon sits down with Wild Trees, a microbiologist and researcher who studies life at the smallest levels… but also believes we’re missing something much bigger.
From microscopic worlds that look like alien landscapes to the idea that we simply don’t have the tools to detect the paranormal, this conversation pushes into territory most scientists avoid.

Ep. 247: My Parents Saw an Upright Dog Near the Border
Jose joins the show to share a chilling account of what his parents witnessed near the U.S.–Mexico border in the summer of 2008. While driving through a storage facility late at night, both of them watched a hairless, upright dog-like creature walk calmly across their path and look directly at them before disappearing into a nearby preserve.

The conversation also explores a larger pattern of strange activity surrounding Jose’s family, including moving furniture, unexplained noises, shadow figures, and repeated sightings of lights and other unex...
Ep. 246: They Shot It Five Times and It Kept Coming
Randy shares a violent and disturbing encounter that took place during a hunting trip in a remote wooded area in Ohio. What began as a normal outing quickly turned into chaos when something upright and canine-like emerged from the trees and attacked. Despite being shot multiple times, the creature continued moving, leaving behind injuries, witnesses, and questions that only deepened when authorities arrived, took photos, and removed what was left. This episode explores what happened in the woods, what followed afterward, and why the official explanation never matched what was actually seen.

Seems Sus: Hollywood Has A Problem... and Nobody's Talking About It
In this episode of Seems Sus, Brandon and Ed dive headfirst into the uncomfortable side of Hollywood that most people don’t want to talk about.
From resurfaced controversies involving celebrities and underage relationships, to long-standing patterns of behavior that seem to get ignored, we’re asking the question… why does this keep happening?
We break down real examples, discuss how certain figures were treated differently, and explore whether fame, influence, and power allow people to get away with things that would destroy anyone else.
Along the way, the conversation goes off the rails in class...
Ep. 244: I Saw Something Too Big To Be Real

The conversation builds toward a recent roadside sighting of an impossibly large canine that forced him to question everything he thought he understood about animals, fear, and what might be moving through these areas unseen.

Ep. 243: I Didn’t Know I Was in a Cult Until I Left
Melissa joins the show to share how isolation during the pandemic led her into a small, highly controlled group that slowly crossed the line from spiritual study into manipulation and control. What began as online classes and one-on-one mentorship gradually turned into isolation from family, pressure to quit her career, and constant psychological influence. As a therapist who had studied cult behavior, Melissa explains how subtle the process really is, why people don’t realize what’s happening until they’re out, and how easily anyone can be pulled in when control is introduced a little at a time.
