Its been a minute! Blame it on Trevor. But its also my fault. We have Brad back for a book report on Uri, written by posthumous friend of the show Andrija Puharich. We do a classic Brad intro that talks about his appearnace on Jason Abadi, his work for the hemisphericpress.substack.com Substack, and some intel agency stuff. We segue into Andrija Puharich and eventually we get to Uri Geller. We end up on Sirius? Very interesting show overall, but the last half gets a little weird so definitely hang in there.
Tonight we talk about Nikola Tesla, government corruption, and the perversion of scientific institutions by a spirit of malevolence. Enjoy.
Maybe the best Brad Press episode yet!

Alrighty there campers, today we have an episode with Bad Press' one and only guest so far, Brad Lee. In this episode, Brad talks Discordians and how the kernel of the Discordian movement is born in New Orleans alongside Kerry Thornley, Lee Harvery Oswald, David Ferrie, Guy Banister, and some other curious characters. We talk JFK Assasination, Cuba, and so much more. This is probably the longest episode of Bad Press we've done, and we plan on doing many more episodes together, so stay tuned for what we're calling Brad Press. Yes, that's an awesome name. I had a lot of fun doing this as I'm sure you can tell, Brad is an awesome repository of knowledge and I'm thrilled for future conversation about this topic and others.
We recorded this a few days ago and a lot of my thoughts have already changed. Here are our initial thoughts on Epstein. Enjoy!
David Smith of Bad Press joins us to chat about the deep subject of Puharich's Ennead: Channeling the Nine, CIA Psychics, and the Occult Underbelly.

In the second half we get into the Nazi's, ancient cults, dosing villages with LSD, IG Farben, the early psychic research, Gellar and stargate, channeling the Egyptian Ennead, the new class of Brahmans, the DOE, Maxwell and Pergamon Press, the national labs, Promise software, Epstein and Iran Contra, and the Gehlen network. David is an amateur historian who is especially interested in the Cold War.

In this episode of the Arts Management and Technology Lab, host Luna Lu speaks with Bad Press co-directors Rebecca Lansberry-Baker and Joe Peeler, alongside journalist and film subject Angel Ellis, about the making of their Sundance 2023 award-winning documentary. The conversation explores how the team came together, the ethical and creative challenges of documenting press censorship within the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, and the tension between tribal sovereignty and press freedom. Through Angel Ellis's experience as a journalist turned whistleblower, the episode highlights the vital role of independent Indigenous media, transparency, and civic participation, while also reflecting on trust, community-based storytelling, and the power of individuals to effect democratic change.

Welcome to our third and final (for now) Epstein installment. In this episode we discuss the final chapter of Epstein's life, and the odd sequence of events that led to his ultimate demise.

Epstein is in the news again. Everyone is looking for answers and hoping that the powerful will be held accountable, but this seems less likely by the day. Although this scandal is in the news everyday, it is amazing how little we actually know about the individuals involve. In part one of what will likely be a multipart series, David takes us on an Epstein deep dive. It is a story of unlikely connections, crazy coincidence, and strage bedfellows. If it wasn't for all the evidence David provides, I wouldn't believe it. If you want to listen ad-free, check out our substack at hemisphericpress.substack.com.

For many people, the word 'Meditation' has connotations of Buddhist Monks sitting on a mountainside, or the practice of having to clear your mind completely - which feels not only daunting, but impossible!Well - this just isn't true!

It's a little bit of time out each day to be quiet, to focus on yourself and to connect with higher vibrations. The benefits you can reap from meditating are astounding and you don't need to be a spiritual guru or an expert to do it.If you would like to learn how to meditate, follow Michael's FREE step-by-step guide in: Higher Consciousness Living
