What if the fabric of our world isn't a sealed container, but a fragile web—pocked with rips, folds, and doorways into somewhere… else? Across the globe, witnesses have described stepping into spaces where the air thickens, time bends, and impossible entities appear without warning. These moments, fleeting yet unforgettable, hint at the existence of portals—dimensional gateways linking our reality to hidden realms.In this episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, we'll delve into chilling, first-hand encounters that challenge the boundaries of belief: a California farm stalked by a colossal biped, a Montana experiencer targeted by robotic and extra-dimensional visitors, a Wisconsin home where robed figures rose from a glowing floor, a San Jose cemetery visit interrupted by a diving bat-like humanoid, and a Texas rally where a woman vanished from a locked porta-potty without a trace. Each account forces us to confront the possibility that our perception of reality is incomplete.These reports come from diverse times and places—orchards, cemeteries, forest trails, quiet homes—but share unsettling similarities: sudden appearances and vanishings, bilocation, objects re-materializing from nowhere, and encounters with entities that defy classification. Are these random anomalies, or the signs of persistent and intentional portals? Could they be natural phenomena, hidden technologies, or constructs of an interdimensional intelligence?From subtle shifts in time to face-to-face meetings with beings that seem part human, part machine, tonight we follow the trails left by witnesses who have stumbled too close to the edges of our dimension. As we look over these extraordinary accounts, we'd like to ask you to consider a question: if portals exist all around us, what might be waiting on the other side?

A rollicking episode about strange paranormal encounters, interdimensional portal areas, understanding the alien mind, and even serial killers. Joining Gene on this episode is Ronald Meyer, a seasoned paranormal experiencer, with encounters ranging from out-of-body experiences and cryptid sightings to non-dual awakenings. He is the owner of Centre Communications, a film production company, and has produced and directed feature films in Hollywood. In September 2023, Centre Communications premiered the feature film "The Mysteries of Bradshaw Ranch: Aliens, Portals, and the Paranormal" at a conference in Vernal, adjacent to Skinwalker Ranch. During the movie's production, the crew encountered intelligent alien entities and other paranormal phenomena. His partner in crime is Mark Reeder, whose novels can be found at Lulu Publishing (hard copies) and at Amazon (ebooks). He's also kicked around the universe long enough to have more than a few bumps and bruises. Roughed up and battered like his hat, he's still looking for the exit. Our special guest cohost is Paul Dale Roberts, aka The Demon Warrior, a Fortean investigator who looks into all things paranormal from ghosts to demons to cryptids to UFOs. He has investigated paranormal hot spots like Area 51; Skinwalker Ranch; Stonehenge; Bridge over River Kwai in Thailand; Napoleon Bonaparte's tomb; Bodie, CA (Ghost Town); Black Dahlia grave site; Alcatraz; San Quentin Prison and Folsom Prison; Edinburgh Castle; Notre Dame in Paris, France; and others.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.

Don and Tom highlight what may be today's biggest stock market bargain: small-cap value stocks, which have drastically underperformed large-cap growth and now appear poised for long-term reversion to the mean. They explain why chasing big winners like Nvidia and Apple could backfire, and why broad diversification with a tilt toward small and value still makes sense. Callers get help with tax drag from old mutual funds, switching from expensive active funds to ETFs, household asset allocation, Roth conversions, and whether to sell a large single-stock inheritance. The show wraps with a well-deserved swipe at Jordan Belfort's shameless self-promotion. 0:05 Don kicks things off with a musical flashback: The Who's “Bargain” sets the tone for a segment on what may be today's biggest investing bargain—small value stocks. 2:00 The S&P 500 has averaged 13.2% annually since 2014; small caps lag at 7.2%. Investors are fleeing small-cap ETFs just as they may be poised for reversion to the mean. 3:30 The top five stocks in the S&P 500 are now five times larger than the entire Russell 2000. That kind of imbalance can't last forever. 5:08 Historically, small-cap value has outperformed large growth by ~4% annually over 100 years—yet most investors are overexposed to U.S. large-cap growth. 8:08 Instead of market timing, build a balanced portfolio based on your risk tolerance. Consider overweighting small and value, but don't ditch large caps entirely. 9:23 Even the worst year for small caps (2008, -34%) wasn't as bad as the S&P's peak-to-trough crash (-57%). Diversification isn't just smart—it's safer. 10:23 For equity allocation: a 1/3 split between large U.S., small U.S., and international may be simple, but effective. 11:59 Eugene from Baltimore has a $5M+ portfolio generating massive taxable income. Don and Tom recommend municipal bonds and more tax-efficient ETFs. 17:45 Mutual fund to ETF conversions (like those offered by Vanguard and Dimensional) could reduce Eugene's tax bill without triggering capital gains. 22:43 BJ from San Antonio holds a pricey Invesco fund (SMMIX) full of big tech—essentially a closet index fund with an 0.85% fee. Time to switch to low-cost, diversified ETFs. 25:38 Vanguard's VUG offers the same exposure with more holdings and a 0.04% fee—plus it's transparent, predictable, and consistent. 28:43 Ron in Lakeland wonders if he should copy his wife's ETFs. If your household has a unified asset allocation plan, identical holdings across accounts are fine. 31:27 Jerry from Lacey, WA asks whether to keep doing Roth conversions or start Social Security now. Don and Tom advise continuing tax-efficient conversions, possibly up to the 22% bracket, but not beyond. Also watch out for income thresholds that affect benefits like the $6K tax rebate. 35:46 Sherry (dropped call) inherited $4M in Microsoft. Diversify! But do it with a tax strategy and professional help. 36:49 Don reacts to a nauseating LinkedIn post by Jordan Belfort, reminding us that glorifying financial predators only feeds industry corruption.

Don and Tom explore the evolution, promise, and pitfalls of Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). While ETFs have become the dominant investment vehicle, boasting $8 trillion in assets and more than 4,000 choices, the duo cautions against the “novelty trap” that lures investors into trendy, high-cost, low-diversification funds. They advocate sticking with time-tested providers like Vanguard, Schwab, and Avantis, and urge listeners to focus on strategy over hype.

Are you ready to unlock the hidden support system that's been walking beside you your entire life? In this soul-activating episode, we dive deep into the unseen realms to uncover the different types of light beings that make up your spiritual team, and how to actually work with them. From angels and ancestors to galactic guides and spirit babies, you'll discover who's guiding you, why they chose you, and how to finally receive the clarity, love, and soul-aligned support they've been trying to give you all along. I share personal stories of working with deities like Isis and Apollo, how galactic guides like Ashtar came into my life (and left when their mission was complete), and what it really means to have a walkie-talkie connection with the higher realms. This isn't just knowledge, it's an invitation to remember who's walking with you and how to rise into your full spiritual power with their help.   We go into depth covering: The 7 main types of light beings that make up your spiritual team including angels, ancestors, galactic beings, and more, and how to recognize who's with you. What makes each guide distinct and how they serve you uniquely from the unconditional love of angels to the powerful activations of deities and ascended masters. How to connect with nature spirits and ancestors in a sacred, co-creative relationship that supports your healing, lineage clearing, and grounded magic. The deeper role of your Higher Self and how to finally hear its guidance even when it sounds just like your own thoughts. How to build a real, heart-led relationship with your guardian angels and call in their support for healing, clarity, and divine protection. Why galactic guides are essential allies for starseeds and how to receive their upgrades, soul mission activations, and energetic support. The truth about spirit babies and how they choose you long before birth, often being held and prepared by your ancestors before they arrive. Why some guides are with you for a season or a soul mission and how to know when their chapter with you has come to a close.  

What if “just buying the market” isn't the end of the story? In this episode, we are joined by Gerard O'Reilly, Co-CEO and Co-CIO of Dimensional Fund Advisors, for a deep dive into what really drives net investment returns. Gerard returns to the Rational Reminder podcast to explain the key principles that differentiate Dimensional's approach from traditional indexing—and why implementation, flexibility, and detail matter so much more than investors might think. We explore the concept of hidden costs in index investing, how index reconstitution and trading frictions erode returns, and the nuanced decisions that shape a market portfolio: defining the market, excluding low-returning stocks, optimizing tax efficiency, and more. Gerard breaks down how Dimensional's rules-based, evidence-backed process improves outcomes through smart exclusions (like IPOs and high asset-growth firms), precise trading, securities lending, and better handling of corporate actions. From the dangers of chasing low fees to the surprising benefits of thoughtful execution, this conversation is a masterclass in next-level investing.   Key Points From This Episode:   (0:01:07) Why Gerard was invited back: Dimensional's approach to hidden costs and net returns. (0:02:38) Looking beyond “index good, fees bad”—why investors should dig deeper. (0:04:21) Gerard's background: From Caltech rocket scientist to Dimensional co-CEO.

(0:22:03) What securities Dimensional excludes—and why: low-profitability growth, high asset growth, IPOs, and REITs. (0:29:26) Why IPOs are excluded for 6–12 months and the mechanics behind inclusion. (0:33:16) Why Dimensional's exclusions aren't like traditional active management. (0:35:09) The “Great British Bake-Off” analogy: baking better portfolios with the same ingredients. (0:38:13) How securities lending boosts returns—and how Dimensional does it better. (0:42:09) Managing corporate actions (like M&A) to reduce cash drag. (0:45:18) How Dimensional deals with buybacks and new share issuance.  (0:47:29) Momentum, short-term reversals, and securities lending fees as trading signals.

Ever wondered what happens when you take the precision of civil engineering and apply it to workforce management? That's exactly what Alex James has done, and I had the pleasure of diving into his approach on the latest weWFM podcast. Alex's journey from building Sydney's iconic tunnels to reinventing how we optimise human effort is a masterclass in cross-industry innovation.Key takeaways:Measuring only the gap between planned and actual staffing misses the bigger picture. True optimisation requires understanding ability, efficiency, and intensity... three ratios that, when multiplied, always equal one. This three-dimensional view brings clarity and focus to workforce effectiveness.Even mature industries like contact centres aren't immune to hidden inefficiencies. Alex's findings in aged care showed that up to 20 percent of workforce effectiveness can be lost, often due to overlooked allocation practices and a lack of holistic measurement.The right metrics can translate complex workforce data into a single, actionable number for leaders... making it easier to drive improvement and accountability.Additional ResourcesISO Survey: Survey Opportunity: “What is the role of HR in organizing work and workers?”: https://committee.iso.org/sites/tc260...

We're diving into one of our absolute favorite topics: Glitches in the Matrix. These are the moments that break reality — when time skips, locations warp, or you wake up in a reality where your ex is suddenly your current partner again (ah!). We're reading listener-submitted stories about dimensional shifts, memory blackouts, unexplained teleportations, and a familiar haunted hotel that has us phoning a friend. A Hotel Whitcomb elevator glitch that takes a group of students to a sterile, backrooms-style floor with chained cafeteria doors, vanishing women A red moon rises in the wrong direction, disappears, then shows up where it's “supposed” to be. Multiple listeners who find themselves suddenly on the wrong side of the highway or losing hours of time with no clue how they got where they are A meditation sends one listener into a full alternate life… with an ex they swore they'd left behind. Reality might be glitching, but at least we have each other (and maybe a backup timeline just in case).

Private credit may be hot, but it isn’t for all investors and doesn’t do better than traded junk debt, according to Dimensional Fund Advisors, which manages $790 billion in assets. “There is no outperformance relative to high-yield public bonds,” Savina Rizova, the firm’s co-chief investment officer and global head of research, tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence’s Jean-Yves Coupin in the latest episode of the Credit Edge podcast. “Some people might get disappointed with some of the attributes of private credit,” says Rizova, highlighting better liquidity and transparency in public markets. Rizova and Coupin also discuss Dimensional’s expansion into mortgage-backed securities, its active exchange-traded fund strategy and the firm’s overall credit exposure and positioning.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For a long time - through early sobriety and years into growth and recovery - Matt shared the blame for his addiction with his father, with Big Beverage, with AA, and with other societal influences. He shared the blame because he couldn't carry the stigma and burden himself. Only through the powerful recovery dimension of time can Matt own the blame for his addiction and peacefully release the people and institutions who served a vital role in helping him get over the guilt and shame.

Don and Tom welcome Weston Wellington of Dimensional Funds for a rare and richly insightful conversation covering market volatility, media noise, diversification, and the enduring wisdom of index investing. Weston compares Spam to Motorola, skewers financial hype, and champions simplicity in investing—and yes, he might just sing if you let him. The conversation explores how far the financial industry has evolved (and still has to go), why most investors get in their own way, and whether AI or just good old-fashioned “aggregated intelligence” holds the future of smart money management. 0:04 Don's surprise “singing telegram” and guest intro0:53 Weston Wellington on volatility and market uncertainty2:47 Why volatility is the “price we pay to play”3:32 The media's role in investor anxiety4:57 Should investors act on daily financial advice?6:15 Portfolio changes should reflect personal changes, not headlines7:24 Spam vs. Motorola: A lesson in stock picking9:44 Dimensional's stance on individual stock ownership10:02 Diversification as “the closest thing to a free lunch”11:07 Are alternative investments the new magic bullet?12:43 Mutual funds vs. ETFs—what works best and when15:27 Industry evolution: from 8% loads to indexing dominance18:29 Where Dimensional fits in the modern fund landscape21:01 AI vs. “aggregated intelligence” in managing portfolios24:04 How regular people can find real financial advice25:34 The key to success: Temperament, not timing26:44 Weston's side gig as a roving birthday singer27:58 Why Weston hasn't been invited lately (and he's lonely) Learn more about your ad choices.

Tyranny is the most common form of government throughout human history, with liberty a small flame kept burning by the very few who face assault from the ignorant oppressed as much as by their oppressors. Throughout most of this history it is the moral corruption not merely of leadership, but of the people which guarantees said tyranny. There is real danger in the justifications given for violations of fundamental civil liberties - that we can protect our rights by limiting or stripping them, or by giving special protections to one group over another. When one party wishes to fight opposing tyranny the natural reaction is to conduct their politics in like manner or take another step over the line of law. This increasingly produces conditions that ultimately result in the conditions that we look back on in history with an attitude of “how did they let that happen.” Well, you're watching it happen. https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-government-policy-terminating-international-014930032.htmlhttps://www.harvardmagazine.com/2025/04/harvard-antisemitism-anti-muslim-report-findings https://www.axios.com/2025/04/01/immigrant-removals-deportations-trump?fbclid=IwY2xjawJ-YglleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFuRk1EdENLQ2ZyR1dLQ1pBAR7mzFSWH--Nr9NusMJkjUSAEyQKvdMBKC6289ROwBcTJnQJwAtaRfafqssDIg_aem_TxExhHoDZr8nkxAvtLDsGg https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/guns-drawn-the-fbi-barged-into-the-wrong-house-supreme-court-justice-calls-it-ridiculous/ar-AA1DRlKm*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

David led Dimensional as CEO and later Co-CEO until 2017, when he stepped back from the daily management of the firm.
