The Paranormal Peep Show, Christmas 2025. Returning guest, Philip Kinsella, medium and ufo researcher comes on the Paranormal Peep Show with his new co-author of their book The Eternal Avatar. Hosted by Neil Ward and Andy Chaplin. The new book asks who and what are we really beyond our biological construct? Is the universe, along with all creation merely the result of some cosmic fluke, and whereby science refutes any suggestion of ‘order,' and more in favour of the classic ‘chaos' theory? What is the bigger picture regarding the very nature of the human ‘self' which (and contrary to what science promotes as its official narrative) appears to transcend both space and time, inherent with what we consider as supernatural abilities which our system of governance has tried to suppress since ages past? Why has the powers-that-be taken such steps in misinforming the masses, even when subjects surrounding life after death, cryptids and UFOs are very much evident, but which themselves are at pains to deny? The authors consider there are connections to be made within these areas of contemplation, and which may well tell us more about ourselves as the evolving Avatar. In ‘The Eternal Avatar,' both Philip Kinsella and Chris John Mayes take a deeper look into the amazing individual you represent beyond your current material self, along with establishing those inherent powers which you harbour, and which the system sees as a threat in their overall mission to thwart the very nature of our eternal essence. They also make connections within varied areas of paranormal/UFO research which indicates that such alternate dimensions of reality are much closer to home than once thought! Hosted by Neil Ward and Andy Chaplin, Christmas edition Dec 2025Philip Kinsella is a widely acclaimed Clairvoyant Medium.  He won the British Mediumship Award in Portsmouth in 2008.  Apart from taking to platform work, he has also appeared on stage and is very much in demand for his Soul Survival Evidence. He is also the author of numerous books, some of which have been co-authored with his identical twin brother, Ronald, who is also an author and illustrator.  Apart from dozens of published articles on the Paranormal, Philip has also appeared on Channel 4, Central, Live TV and Digital, Anglia News, along with radio interviews.  He has also had books published on the UFO phenomena and researched the Rendlesham Forest Incident which occurred in Suffolk, England in 1980, along with the first investigator/author on the case, Brenda Butler. Philip was also credited in publishing an article concerning a revolutionary speculation with regards to the UFO problem. He is currently working on more books. www.philipkinsella.comChris Mayes - Since a young age I have discovered through many various spiritual experiences that we are much more than this physical body existing in this material world. We are all connected to a greater source of power and knowledge that is waiting for all of us to understand and live by.  It has grown to become a large part of my life and how I see the world, that makes it incredibly magical.  I am so grateful to be able to start writing about this subject and having the opportunity to express and continue to learn alongside everyone else as we try to understand more about the potentiality of our true selves and our innate abilities to be so much more powerful than we are led to believe. From living my childhood by a seaside town and moving to Hertfordshire and now London, I have been lucky to live by sea, countryside and now city. My career has spanned from manufacturing to a university simulation technician. My art has been one of my main passions since childhood and It has always seemed to integrate itself throughout my whole working life in many ways. Although I have only included just a few samples here,  I am dedicated to creating a broader portfolio to provide a better platform to showcase my work. I produce personal artwork as well as commissioned pieces. Being creative feels intrinsic to me and I like to apply it as much as I can in all areas of my life. From art, design, photography and writing - I believe we all have that unique creative quality within ourselves that should always be accessed and expressed in whatever capacity that suits the individual. https://www.chrismayes.uk/www.tunedinevents.co.uk ( Andy's web site for psychic suppers, mediumship and paranormal nights) www.neilwardart.co.uk Neil's web site featuring his artwork.

In this provocative and timely edition of Rob McConnell Interviews, Rob welcomes Lea Tesoro, an acclaimed commentator on emerging technologies and intimate human behavior, to explore one of today's most controversial questions: Is virtual reality sex considered cheating? With VR rapidly evolving into hyper-realistic immersive experiences that blur the lines between fantasy and physical interaction, Lea examines the psychological, emotional, relational, and ethical implications of digital intimacy. Together, they unpack whether VR encounters constitute infidelity, how couples are redefining boundaries in an increasingly virtual world, and what the future may hold for human connection in the age of immersive technology. Thought-provoking, insightful, and at times unsettling, this conversation challenges listeners to rethink what "cheating" truly means in a digital age.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

This episode features host Greg and Lewis Ward discussing the true nature of virtual worlds with Wagner James Au, author of Making a Metaverse That Matters, exploring the core design, economic, and community philosophies of successful platforms.SummaryThe discussion defines the metaverse as a vast, immersive virtual world with five core features, including highly customizable avatars and a link to the real-world economy . Au argues that to succeed, a platform must be fun immediately in a multiplayer context, operating as a "third space" where socialization is easy . He contends that Mark Zuckerberg's approach damaged the ideal of the metaverse by focusing too much on hardware and ignoring crucial lessons on community and regulation . The history of Second Life (SL) serves as a critical case study, showing that while strong community allows a platform to survive economic crises and bad onboarding, financial stability requires tightly regulated markets, learned through scandals like the implosion of virtual banks and the ban on unregulated gambling . Ultimately, the key to a thriving metaverse is prioritizing community, fostering diversity, and making creation easy .Key PointsCore Metaverse Definition A true metaverse is defined by Immersiveness, Customization (avatars/tools), Scale (millions of people), a Real-World Economy Link, and Off-World Tech Integration (for accessibility) .Identity and Design Avatars and Identity (05:51): Highly customizable avatars are critical for users to experiment with identity and personality . The Proteus Effect shows that an appealing avatar can boost real-world confidence. The "Fun First" Rule (15:40): Metaverse experiences must be fun immediately in a multiplayer setting (the Third Space concept) . This is why Roblox and Fortnite succeed. Meta's Misstep (10:26): Mark Zuckerberg caused "tremendous damage" to the concept by defining it around the Quest headset and ignoring lessons on managing toxic behavior, like the initial sexual harassment incidents on Horizon Worlds .Economics and Stability Community Precedes Commerce (29:44): Platforms must succeed as communities first. Focusing only on profit (the "Cryptoverse" issue) causes virtual worlds to fail . Second Life's Stability (22:31): SL's active user base is stable at 600,000. The paradox is that if a user survives the long onboarding, they "never leave" due to the community. Regulation is Necessary (40:53): SL's banking and gambling scandals forced Linden Lab to impose tight regulation . This proves that a tightly regulated economy is essential for user trust and stability.Timestamps 03:30 The Five Core Features of the Metaverse 05:51 Avatars and the "Proteus Effect" 10:26 Why Meta Damaged the Metaverse Concept 15:40 The Critical Rule: Why Metaverse Must Be Fun First 22:31 Second Life's Paradox: Why users never leaveReferencesMaking a Metaverse That MattersWagner James Au Lewis Ward Greg PosnerCheck out Player Driven

A la primera part del programa parlem amb Aleix Franch, director esportiu dels Avatars Academy, centre de tecnificació de futbol, perquè este cap de setmana celebren una nova edició de l’Avatars Cup.

Today it's sort of a fun one, we're talking about avatars that people use to represent themselves when they communicate online. It's an important part of communication because it influences how we represent ourselves and how we relate to others. I've been on Drunk Duck over 20 years and in that time I've had many different avatars as I've changed my role on the site and chosen to represent myself in different ways. The same with Tantz Aerine and Banes, as well as our avatars for Google, Twitter/X, Facebook, and all other social media. Over time many corporate interests have seen the value of people's need for avatars and they've sort to co-opt it and market in opportunistic and cynical ways. The most typical is to limit your choice of avatars to images they have licenses for so they can advertise, like Netflix and Disney Plus. Another common way to do it is Snapchat's method and something Meta tries when you create a "3D" avatars that are roughly based on yourself, dressed in items of clothing they create, with hairstyles and facial expressions etc. they they offer so that you have a limited illusion of personalisation and representation. Their goal is to hopefully make you buy special features for that avatar to make you stand out more. Personally I hate anything that takes away true freedom of expression. It goes much further than that though: the whole reason why Meta (owner of Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and more), is even called "Meta" is because their ultimate goal was to change the internet so we all communicate via a 3D interface with 3D avatars to represent us all, with clothing and designs that were bought via NFPs. Test versions of that were already in place before it ultimately failed, but not before people spent quite a bit of money on their silly character's appearances. How did YOU come to use your particular avatar and how long have you been using it? Do you use art you've created, a selfie photo, or something you saved from your online activities?

We chat about how your characters evolve over the years. Webcomics are typically projects that extend over many years or even decades, slowly evolving as they go. Your characters change over that time due to all sorts of factors: you forget how to draw them between pages (I've done that so many times), you want to try out new things or popular styles, you use the wrong references, you change how you feel about certain things, or you change how you write them for various reasons. For me I've been drawing my character Pinky since the late 90s, Pinky has been going for 27 years now in various forms and the characters in Bottomless Waitress have been around for over 10 years. In those comics I now take months between drawing new pages so it's easy to forget how I'm suppose to draw them, I have to look up the last 4 pages every time and research how they're supposed to look, I remember most of it but it's easy to get details wrong. Because of that the characters evolve over time when I make little mistakes that become embedded and then reiterated. Other changes happen when I just decide I don't like older styles and want to try new things: less cartoony, more cartoony, more realistic, more manga influenced, more painterly etc. Pinky and the rest of the characters in her comic have gone through so many changes over the years and I'm grateful that the webcomic format allows me to have that freedom. Bottomless Waitress is a collaboration with Banes so I don't change the writing of the characters, but I change the look of them just as much and experiment with new styles. I do not understand how ANY of their hairstyles work so those change slightly all the time because of that. Character bibles would help but who has time for that crap? haha! How have your characters changed and why? This week Gunwallace has given us the theme to Base Reality - A demonic game of Pac-man that gets more and more intense till reality is destroyed, we head on up into the afterlife, then float around in purgatory for a while before becoming reborn into Pac-man! An intense electronic journey into metaphysics! Next week we'll be talking about Avatars and selfies self images.

The truly heart-soaringly beautiful, immensely talented, one-of-a-kind, universe in human form that is @debscottcostumes!

Filling in for Dave Weekley, Coop welcomes Abrar Al-Heeti of CNET for a packed tech rundown. They break down Meta's major courtroom victory in the FTC antitrust case — and what it signals for future action against Big Tech. Abrar also explains Amazon's new partnership with Ford to sell used cars directly through Amazon, the rollout of Zoox's free robo-taxi program in San Francisco, and a disturbing new AI avatar tool that lets users “talk” to deceased loved ones. The two finish with a sharp warning about YouTube's automatic 4K upscaling and what it may do to archival video history.

AI avatars are moving fast, faster than regulation, faster than most teams can adapt, and in some cases, faster than human comfort levels. In this conversation, marketing leader Tomer Zuker breaks down what's actually happening behind the scenes: the real technology, the ethical risks, and why brands are quietly preparing for a hybrid future of humans, agents, and fully conversational avatars.Tomer shares what he's seeing inside organizations adopting AI today, how synthetic influencers are reshaping audience expectations, and why authenticity now has two different meanings.→ What AI avatars really are (and the two types every marketer should know)→ How conversational avatars change customer experience→ The ethics, risks, and trust dilemmas brands can't ignore→ When humans vs. avatars vs. AI agents make sense→ Why the future of authenticity is more complex than it looks

Mia Goth is the latest actor shedding a bit of light on the long-shelved Blade movie from Marvel Studios. In an interview with Elle, promoting her upcoming appearance in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, Goth shared only that she is still attached to the film and commented that “It's for the best that it's taken the time it has. They want to do it right.” This is in line with Kevin Feige's comments this summer that the film is still moving forward.In an interview with the AP this week, Adam Driver dropped some major information about the Ben Solo movie in Star Wars that never was. Driver explained that Lucasfilm was interested in continuing his character's story in a film that had a script written by Steven Soderbergh. Driver was supportive of the script and the creative team took it to Bob Iger and Alan Bergman at Disney who turned the project down as they “didn't see how Ben Solo was alive.” Fan favorites Amber Midthunder and Walton Goggins will star in a new action movie from the creator of the John Wick franchise.

In this episode I discuss running D&D and other RPGs at high level. It's often not as fun as we think it'll be, especially for the GM. A lot of the issues with high level play and advancement are baked into the games, but sometimes we as GMs make the situation even worse through our approach. I talk about some ways to handle powerful PCs as a GM—what to do and what not to do. I also share things I've learned running Blood of the Avatars and other high-level campaigns. Hopefully you can learn from some of my mistakes in your next high-level game.Check out my sci-fi novel, Critical Balance.Have you read Critical Balance?

What happens when journalism, content creation, and entrepreneurship collide?In this episode of Video Mojo, host Jon Leland sits down with Alexa Phillips, whose viral TikTok about entrepreneurial journalism has sparked nearly a million views and a huge wave of conversation about the future of media.Alexa breaks down how creators are becoming trusted voices in their industries — blurring the lines between journalist, influencer, and entrepreneur. Together, we explore:

After nearly 20 years dedicated to James Cameron's groundbreaking Avatar saga, virtual production supervising stage operator Dan Fowler joins host Chris Nichols in the garage for a deep dive into his incredible 30-year career. Dan recounts his journey from being the drummer in a 90s hair metal band to becoming a key operator on one of the most technologically advanced film sets in history. This conversation is a rare, firsthand look into the evolution of modern filmmaking. Dan shares stories from the trenches, starting with his self-taught entry into VFX, his "rock and roll" days at Digital Domain in the late 90s, and the pivotal moment in 2005 when he joined the top-secret Avatar prototype project. He provides an insider's perspective on how the virtual production pipeline was built from the ground up, the immense pressure of working alongside James Cameron, and what it was like to solve unprecedented technical challenges in real-time.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I look at why Microsoft thinks avatars will boost AI voice adoption.Highlights00:11 — Microsoft has introduced an experimental Portraits feature in Copilot Labs in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada. The feature offers Copilot users a choice of 40 cartoon-esque human avatars. Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman said "You can now talk to a Copilot portrait in real time . . ."01:02 — This feature not only adds a personal touch to conversations but also makes them more engaging and ultimately relatable. Now, this is an important step for Copilot as Microsoft continues to promote voice interactions. While using Copilot features through text prompts has become increasingly popular, voice control remains a secondary player in the market.01:33 — However, the opportunities for more widespread voice usage are immense for Microsoft. The more users ask quick and simple questions, the more the technology will be utilized, leading to increased adoption. And the fact that you can have these interactions through voice as opposed to text will definitely speed up this adoption process. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

A new hypothesis is presented that argues that the strange looking creature or creatures that terrorized 11 people at the Sutton homestead in rural Kelly, Kentucky, near Hopkinsville, on August 21-22, 1955, was actually an alien device(s) designed to test human weaponry. The theory posits that the extraterrestrials staged the incident not long before launching their mass abduction/hybridization program in an effort to better understand the standard weapons commonly available to regular, everyday people.Links/Sources:How the 'Little Green Men' Phenomenon Began on a Kentucky Farm | HISTORYClose_Encounter_at_Kelly.pdfKelly–Hopkinsville encounter - WikipediaSupport Extraterrestrial Reality/Quirk Zone on Patreon:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/Extraterrestrial_Reality⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out my YouTube channel:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quirk Zone - YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Extraterrestrial Reality Book Recommendations:Link to ROSWELL: THE ULTIMATE COLD CASE: CLOSED: https://amzn.to/3O2loSILink to COMMUNION by Whitley Strieber: https://amzn.to/3xuPGqiLink to THE THREAT by David M.

This week I have a roundtable discussion with players from my D&D campaign, Blood of the Avatars, that recently ended. Brett, Craig, and Sam join me to discuss our experiences with the end of the campaign, both as players and GM. We talk about our experience with having a character who goes evil within a good aligned party. There's a lot that can go wrong there, but Manny played Lerissa's descent very well, and all the players handled the situation perfectly. This is as much on the players as the GM, but if you want to know how it can work and come out awesome, our campaign is a great example of it done well. Finally, we talk about the end of the campaign and the final battle. The players give their perceptions on how it all turned out. We talk about what is needed to make the ending of such a long campaign truly satisfying. There are definitely things I could've done better, and we discuss that, so as I always say at the top of the show, you can learn from my mistakes, or at least things I could've done differently and/or better.Check out my sci-fi novel, Critical Balance.Have you read Critical Balance?

What if the ancient gods never died, but returned, possessing world leaders and shaping history right now? In this explosive interview, Jonathan Cahn reveals shocking secrets from The Avatar, exposing how ancient deities, spiritual possession, and prophetic templates may be manipulating governments, culture, and entire nations. From mass exorcisms and supernatural encounters to hidden patterns linking Ahab, Jezebel, Jehu, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris, the evidence points to a chilling spiritual agenda. Could America itself be undergoing a dark re-possession as the gods return, unleashing chaos, deception, and a battle between light and darkness foretold thousands of years ago?
