FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1304 ‘I'm In Here': When the Body Failed—but the Mind Didn't: A Story of Autism, Faith, and Telepathy What happens when the body fails—but consciousness remains fully intact? Tonight on Richard Syrett's Strange Planet, we examine a story modern science is deeply uncomfortable confronting. Katie Asher's journey begins in trauma and survival, then leads to her son Houston—severely neurologically injured, non-speaking, yet unmistakably present. When he communicates the sentence “I'm in here,” it isn't a revelation of awakening—but of recognition. Through supported spelling, Houston demonstrates advanced language, abstract reasoning, and a coherent spiritual worldview he was never taught—describing heaven, angels, and Christ—while his mother remains skeptical. Researchers documented the data. Filmmakers told part of the story. But the spiritual framework was left out. Tonight, we explore what happens when consciousness refuses to fit inside a materialist box. GUEST: Katie Asher is a writer, speaker, and advocate for non-speaking individuals whose cognitive and inner lives are routinely misunderstood. She is the co-author of The Book of Heaven, written with her son Houston, a work that challenges assumptions about intelligence, communication, and the nature of consciousness itself. Known for her intellectual honesty and initial skepticism, Katie brings a grounded, maternal, and rigorously self-critical perspective to questions of neuroscience, spirituality, and faith. Her family's story has drawn the attention of researchers and documentary filmmakers precisely because it resists easy categorization—and refuses to diminish the dignity of those who communicate differently.

On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate gives his farewell as the host of Michigan Wild moving forward. Throughout the intro he expresses his gratitude for the opportunity and finds it hard to put into words how much has transpired over the last few years. He plans on still doing content and some guest co-hosting in the upcoming weeks and months and encourages anyone to follow along on social media to see the direction he ends up going.   It's fitting that for the farewell episode Nate has the opportunity to record once again with Robert McIntyre after a successful late season hunt. Nate and Rob decided to go on a bow hunt together down to Illinois on some public land. They break down the entire hunt and how they put themselves in the right position to fill a tag on a great buck!  Thank you for listening to the episode!

This New Year, affirm the wonderful qualities you already possess with this meditative writing practice with Chris Murchison called "I Am."How To Do This Practice: Settle your body and breath: Find a comfortable seat. Close your eyes or soften your gaze. Take a few slow, deep breaths. Feeling your belly and lungs expand. Bringing your attention into the present moment. Notice what's here: Briefly tune in to what's moving through you right now: thoughts, emotions, sensations in your body, and the space around you. There's nothing to change—just notice. Begin with “I am…”: Open your eyes and place your pen at the top of the page. Write the words “I am…” and complete the sentence with whatever feels true at this moment. Keep writing continuously for one minute: On each new line, write “I am…” again and complete it. Keep your pen moving for a full minute. Don't edit, judge, or overthink. Just let the words come. Pause and reflect: Put your pen down. Read what you've written. Notice where you started, how your responses shifted, and where you ended. Look for patterns, themes, or surprises. Carry it forward: Take a few mindful breaths. Consider how this clearer sense of your present self might shape how you move into the next moment with more awareness and care.

Maria Cuccia, author of His Name Is Elijah, shares a deeply personal story that begins with faith, family, and motherhood—and then crosses into territory most people refuse to contemplate. This is not a UFO case file or a detached investigation. It's a lived experience shaped by Catholic mysticism, generational trauma, altered states of consciousness, and an alleged non-human encounter centered on an impossible bond: a mother and a child who does not exist in ordinary reality. We're not here to debunk or diagnose—only to ask whether our categories are too small. GUEST: Maria Cuccia is the author of His Name Is Elijah, a memoir exploring faith, consciousness, and an extraordinary encounter that reshaped her understanding of motherhood and reality itself. Writing with vulnerability and conviction, Cuccia examines the collision between mystical experience, psychiatry, and belief, offering a rare inside account of what happens when meaning itself is put on trial. Her work sits at the uneasy intersection of spirituality, trauma, and alleged non-human contact. BOOK: His Name is Elijah WEBSITE: https://mariacuccia.com SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

On this episode of Possible, Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger sit down with Amjad Masad, founder and CEO of Replit, to explore how AI is fundamentally changing who gets to build software and what that means for work, creativity, and human agency. Masad traces his journey from growing up in Jordan teaching himself to code and connects it to his love of video games which helped inspire him to build a platform that turns natural language into working software. The conversation spans everything from why gaming mindsets make better builders, to how CEOs are rediscovering hands-on creation, to why “vibe coding” is the next form of literacy and why computational thinking is more important than syntax mastery. The conversation also digs into the future of AI agents, long-running autonomous workflows, and what it means to design environments for machines rather than humans. They also confront harder questions about jobs, fear, regulation, and society's responsibility during a cognitive industrial revolution. The episode ultimately reframes AI not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a force that can return people to a more entrepreneurial, expressive, and meaningful way of life.  For more info on the podcast and transcripts of all the episodes, visit https://www.possible.fm/podcast/ 01:45 – Introductions and Amjad's background 02:07 – Growing up in Jordan, video games, and learning to build 06:19 – How gaming culture shaped Replit's product philosophy 09:55 – Designing Replit around safety, reversibility, and exploration 13:24 – Defining vibe coding and where the term came from 15:55 – The new literacy: computational thinking and soft skills 22:09 – Getting past the blank page and learning by making 25:06 – Entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and who Replit empowers 30:48 – Designing environments for AI agents and durable businesses 35:55 – Open source, abstraction, and “cathedrals built from bazaars” 38:25 – The future of corporate work and creative ownership 48:29 – Fear, skepticism, and cultural responsibility around AI 54:13 – Jobs, disruption, and becoming AI-native in a changing economy 01:11:12 – Rapid Fire Questions

Tara breaks down a sweeping federal crackdown unfolding in Minneapolis and beyond — from thousands of fraud and immigration investigators deployed, to explosive revelations about ghost daycare centers, suitcase cash operations, and decades-old investigations buried by Washington. As panic spreads among Democrat officials, Tara explains why this moment is different, how crime statistics are finally moving in the right direction, and why the media's narrative about “chaos” and “war” collapses under basic facts and long-standing law. This episode connects fraud, open borders, crime, censorship, and media deception — and shows why accountability is suddenly back on the table.

Dr. Laura Scherck Wittcoff welcomes Dr. Leah Hanes, CEO of Two-Bit Circus Foundation, to discuss how hands-on, experiential learning is transforming education for students across Los Angeles and beyond. After 13 years leading the organization, Dr. Hanes shares her personal journey from a student labeled a "slow learner" due to undiagnosed dyslexia to becoming a passionate advocate for reimagining how we teach creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. The conversation explores the Foundation's innovative programs—STEAM Labs, Makerspaces, STEAM Carnivals, and immersive learning experiences—all designed to make education engaging and accessible regardless of economic background. A core theme throughout the episode is the failure of traditional, lecture-based education to engage modern learners. Dr. Hanes emphasizes that students retain only 10% of what they read after two weeks, while learning skyrockets when knowledge is applied to real projects. She advocates for "doing, not sitting"—flipping classrooms to spend 40 minutes making and 10 minutes talking, rather than the reverse. The episode also tackles timely issues like AI in education (which Dr. Hanes sees as an assistive technology when used ethically), the $25 billion annual cost of standardized testing with minimal educational value, and the power of collaborative group work to build empathy and real-world readiness. Dr. Hanes shares compelling stories, including a young artist who discovered she could become an engineer through a STEAM project and went on to UC Berkeley on a full scholarship—the first in her family to attend university. She also discusses the Foundation's "Trash for Teaching" initiative, which has diverted over 900 tons of manufacturers' clean waste from landfills, giving schools free creative materials while providing companies tax benefits. The Foundation recently opened a 13,000 sq. ft. warehouse and is planning to expand its teacher training programs, partner with local universities, and scale the Trash for Teaching model globally. Key Takeaways * Education should prioritize doing over sitting. Hands-on, project-based learning dramatically improves retention and student engagement. * Collaboration builds empathy and strength. Group work mirrors real-world environments and allows students to discover their unique strengths. * Creative materials (not kits) foster invention.  Open-ended "trash" encourages students to become designers and engineers, not 'instruction-followers'. * Teachers need to experience joyful learning themselves. Professional development that models creativity and fun transforms how teachers approach their classrooms. * Scaling innovation requires partnership. Two-Bit Circus Foundation's umbrella model brings together complementary nonprofits to reach more students sustainably. --- Resources & Links Small & Gutsy Podcast https://www.smallandgutsy.org Two-Bit Circus Foundation https://twobitcircus.org
