What kind of man doesn't drink, avoids women, and prefers the company of other strange men in the park? Gene Fowler Jr.'s I Married a Monster from Outer Space (1958) plays the alien-infiltration premise with surprising melancholy and remarkable restraint for a film with such a lurid title. Mike, Bill Ackerman, and Ben Buckingham dig into the film's overlapping readings — Cold War paranoia, the Lavender Scare, queer coding, and a feminist critique the film simultaneously makes and undermines. They also take on the 1998 UPN TV remake directed by Nancy Malone and Rand Ravich's The Astronaut's Wife (1999), tracing how the same essential story mutates across four decades of American anxiety.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

We interviewed Paul Leary, guitarist and founding member of the Butthole Surfers, and he walked us through each of their albums, one-by-one. Made up of core members Paul Leary, Gibby Haynes, and King Coffey, the Butthole Surfers are one of the most beloved and extraordinarily weird bands in history. But after some major-label drama in the early 00s, they are finally releasing the original version of their final album as it was intended by the band (After the Astronaut, out June 26).   Intro 00:00 The Band's Early Days 1:36 Butthole Surfers EP 4:48 Psychic...

Our guest this week is a foundational architect of alternative rock and one of the most wonderfully unhinged guitar heroes to ever pick up the instrument. As the co-founder and lead guitarist of the legendary, boundary pushing Butthole Surfers, he spent the 80s and 90s melting brains with his chaotic, psychedelic riffs and timeless tracks like 'Pepper.' But his genius didn't stop on stage—behind the studio glass as a producer, he shaped multi-platinum albums for Sublime, The Toadies, Meat Puppets, and Pepper. He is a musical mad scientist, an underground icon, and a true legend of the game.This week on Verbal Shenanigans... the one and only, PAUL LEARY!   If this interview isn't enough, The Butthole Surfers are officially releasing a "new" long-lost album called After the Astronaut on June 26, 2026. It is their first official studio release of archival material in 25 years.

Episode 263: What does it feel like to go into space? To rocket past the Kármán line, float in perfect silence, and return to Earth—all in 11 minutes? Blue Origin's astronauts experience an expensive thrill ride: part theme park roller coaster, part life-altering pilgrimage. In this episode, Allie Kuehner, a Blue Origin astronaut from the New Shepard flight NS-33, relives the intense pause before liftoff, the three-G climb that somehow feels slow, and the instant gravity disappears. Joining her is Sarah Phelps, Blue Origin's former managing director of astronaut and customer experience, who reveals how her team turns that fleeting flight into a story people cherish for life. We take a behind-the-scenes look at Blue Origin's astronaut training program. It's curated, detail-oriented, and built to guide participants through an emotionally charged moment of awe. We unpack how a month-long window after Allie first decided to go into space narrows down to an intentionally designed two-day training sprint—one that forges six strangers into a crew that is forever changed upon their return to Earth. We explore, through Sarah's lens, what makes the experience meaningful via her design choices, such as why hearing that audible launch countdown is a moment you never forget. And how the first flight-suit try-on became an unexpected, emotionally charged moment of emphasis for astronauts and their loved ones. Sarah made many experience tweaks, as she explains: "We were going into the debrief, and I said, 'But I didn't hear the "go" poll.' … The answer was, 'Well, the astronauts don't need to hear that; that's not part of it. They can just hear the countdown.' I said, 'But I want to hear, "INCO go. Capsule go. Booster go. CAPCOM go. Crewmen go." I want to hear the flight director, "New Shepard is go for launch." … And just because that's never been done before and astronauts on previous vehicles didn't need to hear it, my astronauts … need to feel that reverberation in their whole being that we are go for launch." Allie and Sarah also share lessons any brand can use to choreograph peak emotion without sacrificing operational precision. And they cover what the future of space tourism looks like, such as why going to the space station just for a weekend may become a reality within our lifetimes. Guest: Allie Kuehner, Blue Origin Astronaut, New Shepard flight NS-33, conservationist, and board member of Nature is Nonpartisan Guest: Sarah Phelps, VP, Games Hospitality, United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee, formerly Blue Origin's Managing Director of Customer Experience Host: Rob Markey, Partner, Bain & Company Give us feedback: Customer Confidential Podcast Feedback Send us a note: Contact Rob Timestamped Topics [00:06] Seven-second rumble before motion and the surprise of a slow ascent [00:09] Capsule-booster separation and sudden silence [00:12] First look at Earth from above [00:14] The astronaut experience inspiration and reimagining astronaut training for modern civilians [00:16] Design brief and making 11 minutes meaningful without formal astronaut prep [00:18] Managing human variables like pausing the launch for final phone calls to family [00:19] Adding the audible "go" poll for emotional impact [00:22] Flight-suit reveals and custom bomber jackets as milestone markers [00:23] Humanizing an engineering culture and lessons CX leaders can mirror [00:25] Looking ahead to Sarah's vision of weekend trips to orbit Notable Quotes [00:00:02] "You're going faster than a speeding bullet. You go through three Gs, but you don't even feel the three Gs, because there's so much else going on. You're looking out the window, it's so loud, and then all of a sudden the rocket and the capsule dislodge from one another. And it goes to perfect silence." [00:00:48] "We're giving people an opportunity to go 62 miles above the earth, and you know that somehow, some way, that experience is going to change you, and it's going to change how you see the world moving forward. For me, it's how do we build an experience around that?" [00:05:34] "One of the most surprising things to me was the ascent—how beautifully slow it felt." [00:06:57] "The first time you get to look out these windows down at Earth, you just see this delicate, finite, beautiful planet. And in that moment, you just realize how connected we all are." [00:09:41] "This thing is an 11-minute flight. It's basically a half-million-dollar roller coaster ride."

Dr. Sian Proctor grew up the daughter of a NASA hidden figure, with the stars in her sights until a pair of glasses at age fourteen seemed to close the door on her dream of becoming a military aviator. She kept reaching anyway, pursuing a career in geoscience and science communication, coming agonizingly close to NASA selection before receiving a rejection that sent her life in a different direction. In this episode, Dr. Sian Proctor talks about the long, winding road from that childhood dream to becoming the first Black woman to pilot a spacecraft; hitting a low point after a painful divorce; and the unexpected creative awakening that ultimately launched her to space. And once she got there, she did what she's always done: made art.

What can psychologists do the make pilots and astronauts' decision making better under duress? Can we anticipate the psychological issues of planned long distance space missions to Mars? How can we shift the  shame culture for pilots and astronauts around reporting unidientified anomolous phenomena?In this episode we have the unique field of Space psychology to look into; So we discuss the psychology of military pilots and astronauts working under such extreme conditions; and the intuitive skill sets developed under such high pressure, split second decision situations; we discuss the cognitive engineering required to match the design of instruments to the cognitive needs of the pilots and astronauts; we get into alternatives methods of expertise exchange apart from the usual text book approach which have had extraordinary decision making results for pilot and astronaut performance. We also discuss the issues for pilots around reporting of UFO encounters, and the implications for space psychology of the new bout of main stream interest following the New York Times 2017 expose of military incidents.So who better to help us understand the minds of pilots and astronauts than space psychologist, cognitive engineer, astronaut instructor and Director of the Centre of Space Medicine at UCL in London, Dr. Iya Whitely. She's helped design training programs and conducted studies for the European Space Agency, The Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre in Russia, and presented he research for the USAirforce and Nasa. Dr. Whitely is also a pilot, rescue scuba diver and competitive sky diver! She's written 11 scientific papers, and three books, “Toolkit of a Space Psychologist, to support astronauts on exploration missions to the moon and mars”, “Earth Designs” for toddlers, and her new book “Born Knowing”, which we get onto at the end.What we discuss:00:00 Intro.05:30 Iya's path into Cognitive Engineering.18:35 Decision making research.28:00 Iya's method led to 200/cent increase in decision making speed.21:40 Professional intuition.43:00 Surgeon expertise transmission study55:45 Astronaut psychology - Alexei Leonov, first space walk near-disaster, 1965.01:06:00 ESA human, long-distance space flight study.01:13:00 Nature solves problems using resources available locally - Biomimetics, Dr Olga Bogatyreva.01:27:10 Mars 500: 520 day simulated Mars mission trial.01:31:30 Space colonisation psychology.01:40:40 Difficulty reintegrating with terrestrial society after missions to space.01:43:00 “The Overview Effect” when earth is seen from space.01:50:30 Taboo around reporting of anomolous phenomena for pilots and astronauts.01:53:15 Ryan Graves is speaking out in congress about repeated UFO safety concerns.02:01:00 Astronauts can't risk to speak about this as it will affect their careers.02:13:00 Navy have implemented a new reporting protocol and office, AARO.02:21:30 Iya at the Sol Foundation: Garry Nolan & Diana Pasulka.02:29:30 Pilot Jake Baba - reporting issue with the phenomena.02:39:10 Telepathic autistic children, called ‘spellers'.

It was great talking live today with astronaut and social entrepreneur Ron Garan. He has a profound understanding of what it will take for humanity to evolve beyond this critical inflection point at which we find ourselves. Much of what he learned came from epiphanies gleaned while working both at the bottom of the ocean and in the further reaches of outer space. How fortunate we are to have his wisdom among us. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. You can learn more about Ron at RonGaran.com. You can subscriber to his Susbtack at RonGaran.Substack.com.

The Butthole Surfers started way back in 1981 with Gibby Haynes and Paul Leary started a band. They quickly grew a reputation in Texas and throughout the country as one of the most provocative and outlandish bands in the country. They had a massive influence on contemporary artists like Kurt Cobain, White Zombie, and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They hit massive success with their album electriclarryland and the single Pepper. After the success of their album they had a follow album After the Astronaut, but because of disputes with their record label and problems with their manager they never were able to release it until now. The band is planning on releasing it June 26th 2026. Before the album is released Paul was nice enough to come on the show! Paul and Doc talk about starting Butthole Surfers, going on Capital records, working with John Paul Jones, Paul getting invited to produce for the Meat Puppets and Sublime, recording with Stone Temple Pilots, touring with Nirvana, recording electriclarryland, recording After the Astronaut and so much more! Meanwhile on the rest of the show Doc and Mike roll through the top 3 classic country songs, and Mike gets a little behind the music.

This week was a little lighter on the host count, as Devon was trapped in the endless gravitational pull of legal work, but Ben and Steven still managed to cover everything from adopted kittens to the future of humanity in space. Real Life Ben started things off with an apology for being a little checked out during the last episode. He was physically present, but mentally running on fumes. Fortunately, life is looking up. The foster kittens are beginning to find homes, which is both exciting and bittersweet. He also took a moment to congratulate all the recent graduates out there before diving into family TV time. The household continues its journey through Star City, and after episode two, Nicole is already predicting where the story is headed. While the series has proven compelling, some mature content, light torture, and strong language have made it a slightly awkward fit for younger viewers. Devon wasn't able to join us this week thanks to an overwhelming amount of lawyering. We assume he is somewhere buried beneath paperwork and legal precedent, emerging only occasionally for coffee. Steven reminisced about a Disney trip he took with Ben years ago before jumping into a discussion of the For All Mankind season finale and what season six might bring. We unpack the strengths and weaknesses of the latest season, revisit the complicated Baldwin and Stevens family connections, and discuss why the Stevens kid is definitely not the mysterious Mars Peacekeeper. The conversation also explores the implications of the show's latest time jump and what it could mean for the future of the series. Steven also finished Gravity Falls with his kids, watching the final five episodes of season two in a single marathon session. Even when the show edged close to becoming a little too intense for younger audiences, it always managed to pull back and deliver an emotional, funny, and surprisingly thoughtful conclusion. Years after it first aired, it remains one of the best family animated series ever produced. Future or Now Ben kicked off the science segment with an ongoing issue aboard the International Space Station. Astronauts were temporarily instructed to shelter while engineers continued monitoring a long-running air leak in the Russian section of the station. The culprit is a small connecting tunnel that has developed microscopic structural cracks over time. Despite years of repairs and investigation, the leak remains one of the ISS's most persistent engineering headaches. The story naturally led into a broader discussion about the future of orbital habitats, including new commercial space stations currently under development and what might eventually replace the aging ISS. Steven brought a much more optimistic story to the table. Researchers at the University of Birmingham have developed a new perovskite-based catalyst that dramatically lowers the temperature required to produce hydrogen from water. The breakthrough could allow industrial facilities to use waste heat that would otherwise be discarded, turning it into a valuable source of clean hydrogen fuel. If the technology scales successfully, it could reduce production costs, improve efficiency, and help make hydrogen a more practical energy source for industries ranging from steel manufacturing to renewable power generation. It's the kind of breakthrough that could quietly reshape entire sectors without most people realizing it until years later. From leaky space stations to cleaner energy, adopted kittens to animated mysteries, this week's episode covers a surprisingly wide range of topics—even with one host missing in action.

Nasa names the four astronauts who will blast off as part of the Artemis III mission in 2027. This is the next step for humans to return to the Moon. Speaking to Anton with more on this was Helen Sharman, first British astronaut.

Colonel Eileen Collins was the first woman to pilot and command a Space Shuttle, and the person NASA trusted to lead the program back into space after the loss of Columbia. But her story is about so much more than the milestones. In this episode, Sarah Al-Ahmed sits down with Eileen Collins to discuss “Spacewoman,” a new documentary written and directed by Hannah Berryman, based on Collins' book “Through the Glass Ceiling to the Stars: The Story of the First American Woman to Command a Space Mission.” They talk about what drove her to keep pushing forward, the personal cost of pursuing an extraordinary career, and what it means to break barriers, not just for yourself, but for everyone who comes after you. Then, Bruce Betts, our Chief Scientist, joins us for What's Up to explore what distinguished pilots and commanders from mission specialists in the space shuttle era, and why that distinction was so critical to Eileen's path to the commander's seat.

(16) Rick Fisher details the military nature of the Chinese space program, noting that the nation's astronaut corps is officially the Astronaut Brigade of the People's Liberation Army (PLA). Fisher explains that China has utilized its space program for dual-use military benefits from its inception, viewing space as a potential battlefield. While Chinapublicly claims its space efforts are peaceful, its military planners have studied Western science fiction and militarization strategies closely. The segment warns that the U.S. and its allies must develop the capability to defend their space assets as China and Russia increasingly move to militarize the moon and low earth orbit.1941

Preview for Later Today: Rick Fisher examines the competition between the U.S. Space Force and China's militarized astronaut brigade. He highlights dual-use technologies on the moon and the importance of defending lunar assets if global geopolitics turn sour today.1958

(4) Bob Zimmerman recounts how, during the critical Lunar Orbit Insertion, the crew fired the SPS engine behind the moon with no communication and no backup; failure meant certain death. Upon arrival, the astronauts were initially disappointed by the moon's skull-like, colorless appearance, comparing it to a barren sandbox. However, the guest notes that their observations settled a decades-old scientific debate by confirming that lunar craters were the result of impacts rather than volcanic activity. This successful orbital maneuver demonstrated the power of the Saturn 5 to reach anywhere in the solar system, mirroring modern goals for space settlement.1940 GODDARD AT ROSWELL

(8) Bob Zimmerman concludes by revisiting the Apollo 1 catastrophe, where three astronauts died due to "hubris" and careless engineering on the launchpad. This failure forced NASA to adopt total honesty, resulting in critical safety redesigns like the new hatch and atmosphere. Simultaneously, the Soviet program suffered its own tragedy with the death of cosmonaut Komarov during Soyuz 1's re-entry. These setbacks forced both nations to slow their pace and prioritize rigorous testing. The guest notes that without these disasters, a moon landing might have occurred in 1967, but the resulting caution ultimately shaped the success of Apollo 8.

One of the most commonly asked questions about living and working in space is where and how the astronauts sleep. Watching the astronauts set up their sleeping arrangements on the recent Artemis II mission around the moon got us thinking about this topic again, so we're revisiting a favorite episode from 2022. Sleeping in space goes back almost as far as there have been people in space (specifically, a cosmonaut who caught some shuteye in 1961). Astronauts have slept in capsules, shuttles, space stations, and even on the Moon. Sleep is an important part of an astronaut's health, particularly for longer duration missions. But from noisy crewmates to spaceship sounds and even the sheer excitement of it all, sleeping in space hasn't always been easy. To find out what it's really like, we speak with former astronaut Mike Massimino who relates his shuttle sleeping experience to a big slumber party.  We're catching Zs in zero-G, today on AirSpace.Thanks to our guest in this episode: Mike Massimino, former astronautFind the transcript for this episode and more information at https://s.si.edu/AirSpaceSleep.Subscribe to our monthly newsletter at s.si.edu/airspacenewsletter. 

Most people will never face a situation as extreme as being stranded in space, yet it reveals something profound about faith, trust, and God's sovereignty. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar sit down with Captain Barry Butch Wilmore to explore how faith in God anchors the soul even in the most extreme circumstances. The guys unpack how Butch's time in space became a living testimony to trusting God's providence. Even amid isolation, uncertainty, and physical challenges, Butch maintained confidence that the Lord was working all things according to His purpose. His experience becomes a powerful reminder that when people feel stuck in life, God is never absent and His plans are always unfolding.The conversation explores the intersection of faith, science, and truth through Butch's perspective as an astronaut. The guys discuss how scientific discovery does not contradict Scripture but instead reveals the order and design God established. Butch emphasizes that truth matters and that, just as physical laws govern space travel, God's Word governs reality. In a culture that often separates science from faith, his testimony reinforces that the two are aligned under the authority of the Creator. This perspective grounds believers in confidence that Scripture is reliable and that God's truth stands firm in every area. The discussion then turns to the personal realities of being in space and the spiritual lessons that come with it. While space offers wonder and awe, it also highlights the deep human need for relationship, fellowship, and worship. Butch shares that even with access to teaching and music, the absence of Christian community was deeply felt. The guys emphasize that God created people for connection, both with Him and with one another, and that spiritual growth cannot be sustained in isolation. His experience serves as a reminder that the local church is not optional but essential to the believer's life and faith.Finally, the guys reflect on God's sovereignty, purpose, and the hope found in the gospel. Butch recounts moments of uncertainty during the mission, trusting that every detail was under God's control. His perspective on trials is rooted in a high view of God, recognizing that suffering is never wasted and always serves a greater purpose. The guys highlight that true peace comes not from circumstances but from knowing Christ and resting in His finished work. In the end, Butch's story points beyond space exploration to something far greater, a life anchored in God's sovereignty, sustained by His Word, and lived for His glory.Send us Fan MailThanks for listening!
