A podcast about the strange, paranormal, otherworldly, and the people who write books about it.
On this episode we continue our South American odyssey as we finish our breakdown of Ardy Sixkiller Clarke's 'Sky People: Untold Stories of Alien Encounters In Mesoamerica'. Join us as we discuss if belief can be separated from the cultures that formed them, how we might apply a cultural myth to a broader understanding of humanity as a whole, and if we can connect with an older way of life or culture without discarding our technological advancements.

Welcome to part 2 of our breakdown of the cryptozoological classic 'Serpents of the Sky, Dragons of the Earth' by F.W Holiday! On this episode Jay takes us into weirder waters. Listen in as we spin off from UFOs to the afterlife, the fey, angelic bigfoot, and ghost diners. Links to Organizations mentioned by Jay: Non profit dedicated to preserving Native art forms post-genocide Non profit group primarily focused on fighting financial inequality via grants, job training, and research projects. Action group dedicated to addressing systemic injustice, such as fighting treaty violations, returning stolen children, and elevating Native voices in policy. Non profit dedicated to providing strong legal representation to native Americans, their tribes, and their organizations. This is the tribe that Stephanie Meyer exploited for her Twilight werewolves. Global warming has made their current territory unsafe and they can't afford to move somewhere more secure, so, they're raising money.
