2-10-26 Tonight we're talking with Roger Wanner, owner and meadmaker at WA Meadwerks in Long Island, NY. Roger is the founder and mead maker of W A Meadwerks. Founded in 2018, they have experienced rapid growth in the early years of operation and disappointment in the post COVID years. After right-sizing the operation and focusing on small batch production, as they did when founded, they've added a new fan base and are reshaping the way mead is perceived and enjoyed. W A Meadwerks will be celebrating its 8th anniversary this year with a focus on barrel aged meads. The celebration starts on Mead Day, Aug 1st and ends on their anniversary Sept 8th.

The Montauk Project | Paranormal Podcast In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most controversial conspiracy theories in paranormal history—the Montauk Project. We start by exploring the very real Camp Hero military base located on the easternmost tip of Long Island in Montauk, New York, which operated from World War II through the Cold War era. Originally disguised as a quaint fishing village to fool German U-boats, the base later housed a massive 90-foot radar tower that remains standing today as the only survivor of twelve similar installations. After the base was officially abandoned in 1981 and later transferred to the National Park Service, strange stories began to emerge. We introduce Preston Nichols, an electrical engineer who claims to have discovered his own repressed memories of working on secret experiments at the facility, and Duncan Cameron, a gifted psychic who mysteriously knew intimate details about the base despite claiming he'd never been there before. We then explore the disturbing allegations at the heart of the Montauk Project conspiracy, which include mind control experiments, time travel research, and the abuse of thousands of children in underground tunnels beneath the base. According to Nichols and Cameron's recovered memories, the project involved a device called the "Montauk Chair" that could amplify psychic abilities to manifest physical objects, open portals through time and space, and even conjure creatures from thin air. We discuss the project's alleged connections to the Philadelphia Experiment, MK-Ultra's documented mind control programs, and theories involving alien collaboration.
