We discuss the concept of HBO's The Last of Us, in honor of the season one finale that aired Sunday night.

The Uncanny Valley is an eerie or unsettling feeling experienced in response to something that is not-quite-human. Before dolls, animations, and robots were even invented, did it somehow serve our ancestors to weed out things that closely resembled humans beings (but were not)?

Astral Projection, Part 2! In this episode we discuss the US government's experimentation with "Remote Viewing" from the 70's to the 90's and their attempts to create an army of "psychic spies" as a potential Cold War defense tool.
Astral Projection (AKA remote viewing, astral travel, soul flight, & more) is an intentional out-of-body experience that has been spoken of since ancient times. Can these experiences be chalked up to vivid hallucinations or can humans truly project their consciousness outside of their body? And if they can, where exactly can they visit and what are the potential consequences of this?
In 2009, a group of people realized they all shared memories of Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s. They recalled the crowds at his televised funeral and a speech by his widow. The problem? Nelson Mandela was still alive - he didn't die until a few years later, in 2013. Why did these people, along with many around the world, share the same memory of an event that never happened?

You awake in the middle of the night to find your body completely paralyzed. As you struggle to breathe, you open your eyes to a frightening sight - a ghostly old woman is sitting on your chest.

Why does this happen and how is it so universal? Can it be simply explained by biology or could something more nefarious be at play? Eston Clare Jr., who has met the Old Hag herself, guests on this episode.
