Rabbi Rothschild joins the show to discuss his unusual project of livestreaming his life 24 hours a day, seven days a week, creating what he describes as a digital diary and time capsule of modern human history.

The conversation eventually turns toward UFO disclosure and the extraordinary claims made by former Israeli space official Haim Eshed, including alleged government knowledge of extraterrestrial intelligence, a so-called Galactic Federation, secret cooperation with non-human civilizations, and the belief that humanity may not yet be ready for full disclosure.

We also discuss Eshed’s reported return to the subject after ye...

Author and researcher A.W. Finnegan joins the show to discuss his book The Sleeper Agent: The Rise of Lyme Disease, Chronic Illness, and the Great Imitator Antigens of Biological Warfare.

Throughout the conversation, Finnegan lays out his argument that the history of Lyme disease may be far more complicated than the...

Katie Jo returns to Tinfoil Tales for a conversation that starts with remote viewing and quickly goes much further into the strange possibilities surrounding human consciousness.

Katie also shares some of the remote viewing experiments her own group has conducted and why she believes there is still much more to understand about what the human mind may be capable of.

Researcher, author, and filmmaker Nomar returns to Tinfoil Tales for a wide-ranging conversation covering the latest developments in the paranormal world.

Growing up in a home in Lansing, Michigan, Samantha describes what she calls a “poltergeist house,” where activity was constant—day and night.

In this episode of Tinfoil Tales, Brandon is joined by Ron and Mark, co-authors of The High Strangeness of Bigfoot, for a deep and thought-provoking conversation that goes far beyond traditional cryptid discussions.

What begins as a conversation about Bigfoot quickly evolves into something much larger—a theory that many of the unexplained phenomena people experience may not be separate at all, but instead connected through what they describe as a single underlying “presence.” Ron and Mark discuss their research into anomalous activity, including field experiments using what they call the “C6 protocol,” which they claim has produced u...

In this episode of Tinfoil Tales, Brandon speaks with Julia, an off-grid homesteader who shares her life-altering experiences with electromagnetic sensitivity and the path that led her to completely step away from modern technology.

Julia explains how what began as unexplained physical symptoms—headaches, pressure, and neurological issues—eventually led her to believe she was reacting to electromagnetic radiation from everyday sources like cell phones, Wi-Fi, and power systems. Over time, these reactions became so severe that she was forced to leave conventional living environments behind and adapt to a completely different way of life.

These include insights into alien biology, advanced technologies, and the structure of different extraterrestrial species...

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. What began as a routine hunting trip in a remote mountain area turned into a face-to-face encounter with a massive, intelligent being unlike anything he had ever experienced.

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?

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.
