Otherworld tells real stories of people who have experienced something paranormal or unexplainable. Host Jack Wagner takes an open minded and journalistic approach to the subject matter and aims to uncover some of the biggest mysteries of the world and how people react to it.
The Otherworld podcast is a true gem that I stumbled upon by happenstance, and I couldn't be happier that I did. As a professional podcaster of more than a decade, I have a keen appreciation for shows that are well done, and Otherworld is absolutely that. Hosted by Jack and his team, this podcast stands out for its thorough research, dignified treatment of guests, and solid journalistic framework. The information and stories presented leave listeners to draw their own conclusions, which is refreshing in a genre often plagued by sensationalism.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the entertainment value it provides. Jack's obvious enthusiasm and relish in meeting interesting people shines through in every episode. This not only adds to the enjoyment for listeners but also creates an engaging atmosphere for guests to share their experiences. The team at Otherworld does an excellent job of storytelling while also asking the questions that we all want to know.
Another standout feature of this podcast is its commitment to science and research. Each episode is supported by solid evidence and investigation, giving credibility to the stories being shared. This thoughtful approach appeals to both skeptics and believers alike, as it encourages open-mindedness while still providing a critical lens through which to view the paranormal.
While there are many positive aspects to The Otherworld podcast, there are occasional episodes that fall flat. Some interviews with "regular" individuals who have had unexplained experiences may come across as meandering or less captivating compared to others. However, these mediocre episodes are few and far between, and when The Otherworld hits its stride with intriguing narratives or overarching themes like "the man in the hat," it truly becomes out-of-this-world.
In conclusion, The Otherworld podcast is a must-listen for anyone curious about paranormal activity backed up by great science and research. With its well-crafted stories, diligent research process, respectful approach towards guests, and Jack's evident passion for the subject matter, this podcast is a true standout in the genre. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, The Otherworld will leave you entertained, intrigued, and yearning for more.

Myself, Theo and Theo head into the desert to meet a man named Don McKinney who owns a massive archive of George Van Tassel's recordings, photos, writing and even the original blueprints and models of The Integratron.

After hearing Dave's story in the previous episode and the profound similarity between his UFO experience in Ojai and his meditation at the Integratron, we wanted to learn more about the strange history of this building. But what started out as an effort to learn more about this place ended up turning into a bit of an adventure. In this episode, historian Daniel Paul joins to tell the story of The Integratron and the man who built it, George Van Tassel. Van Tassel was an aerospace engineer who became a UFO pioneer after claiming contact with extraterrestrials in California's Mojave Desert. He lived under Giant Rock, a 7-story boulder in the desert where he operated an airstrip and café. His life's work was the Integratron, a domed structure he built based on channeled communications with a group of aliens called the Council of Seven Lights —and, more specifically, an individual being named Solganda. After this interview, we traveled to the desert to meet a man named Don McKinney, who owns a massive archive of George's recordings, photos, and the original blueprints of the Integratron. If you want to hear about that trip and our effort to help Don preserve this archive, it will be available on the Otherworld Patreon next week.

Jack is joined by friend of the show, Wolf Fleetwood, for an in-depth journey into the wild and legendary life of Aleister Crowley—an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, novelist, painter, and mountaineer. This is the first installment of a multi-part series available exclusively on our Patreon. Aleister Crowley was an enigmatic and controversial figure, often shrouded in myth and mystery. Known as "The Great Beast 666" and dubbed "The Wickedest Man in the World" by the press, Crowley was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, and writer who dedicated his life to exploring the boundaries of the unknown. He claimed to have been contacted by a supernatural entity named Aiwass in 1904, who dictated The Book of the Law to him in Cairo, Egypt. This text became the cornerstone of Thelema, Crowley's spiritual philosophy, which proclaimed, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law," emphasizing individual will and spiritual liberation. Crowley was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, but his unorthodox methods and rebellious nature led him to establish his own esoteric orders, including the A∴A∴ and the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO). His rituals often involved elaborate symbolism, sex magic, and invocations of ancient deities, blending Eastern mysticism, Western esotericism, and his own unique vision. Crowley's life was a tapestry of scandal, excess, and intrigue—he was a mountaineer, poet, and spy, rumored to have worked for British intelligence during World War I. His legacy is a paradox: revered by some as a visionary and prophet, yet reviled by others as a charlatan or even a harbinger of darkness. To this day, Crowley remains an enigmatic figure, his influence echoing through occult circles, art, music, and popular culture, leaving many to wonder whether he was a misunderstood genius or a man who truly tapped into forces beyond human understanding. Part 2 is out now and Part 3 is coming later this week. Listen to those and the rest of the series by signing up for the Otherworld Patreon.
