FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1316 She Went Too Deep: Epstein's Expanding Files and the Sudden Silencing of Blue Butterfly Note: This is a re-issue of Ep.#1263 “Blue Butterfly: Inside Epstein's Secret Lab of Power, Science, and Control”, published on October 6th, 2025. Due to recent developments related to the Epstein Files and the recent public announcement of Sarah McCarthy, author of Blue Butterly, we have decided to publish the episode again. What if Jeffrey Epstein's secret wasn't just sex, but science? In her explosive new book Blue Butterfly: Inside the Diary of an Epstein Survivor, investigative author Sarah McCarthy exposes the hidden story the media refused to tell. Drawing from Juliette Bryant's secret diary, McCarthy reveals a chilling world where elite scientists, intelligence agencies, and global leaders converged—using victims not only for blackmail, but for covert experiments in eugenics, cloning, and mind control. In this episode of Strange Planet, Richard Syrett sits down with McCarthy to crack open the darkest secret of our age: Epstein as prototype for elite power. GUEST: Sarah McCarthy is a South African-born investigative author who exposes the covert alliances between global elites, intelligence agencies, and controversial science. A former top copywriter for brands like Ogilvy & Mather and Burberry, she now applies her skills to uncovering hidden power structures. Her latest book, Blue Butterfly: Inside the Diary of an Epstein Survivor, reveals how Jeffrey Epstein's operation extended far beyond sex trafficking—into eugenics, cloning, and mind-control experimentation disguised as philanthropy.

It is my pleasure to welcome to Necronomicast, Rachel McCarthy James! A native of Kansas, she is the daughter of baseball's Bill James and artist Susan McCarthy. At Hollins University in Roanoke, Virginia, she studied political science and creative writing. Her first book, The Man from the Train (coauthored with her father) chronicled the serial killer behind the Villisca axe murders. Published in 2017, The Man from the Train was nominated for an Edgar award for best fact crime, and won the Kansas Notable Book award. Her newest book, Whack Job, is the story of the axe, first as a convenient danger and then an anachronism, as told through the murders it has been employed in throughout history: from the first axe murder nearly half a million years ago, to the brutal harnessing of the axe in warfare, to its use in King Henry VIII's favorite method of execution, to Lizzie Borden and the birth of modern pop culture. Whack Job sheds brilliant light on this familiar implement, this most human of weapons. This is a critical examination of violence, an exploration of how technology shapes human conflict, the cruel and sacred rituals of execution and battle, and the ways humanity fits even the most savage impulses into narratives of the past and present.

February 2, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 88 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the latest news from the weekend into the morning concerning the Pittsburgh Steelers and the coaching staff that is continuing to be assembled under new HC Mike McCarthy. While only of the coaching staff hires have been made official by the team, we have more potential hirings that appear certain at this point. Because of that, Alex and I discuss the latest news concerning the potential hirings of Frank Cignetti Jr., C.J. Ah You, Danny Crossman, Mark Lovat, Grant Thorne, and Steve Scarnecchia based on the latest reports on each. After first thinking that the Steelers would be retaining DB coach Gerald Alexander, the news broke over the weekend that he is joining the Minnesota Vikings. We discuss that news in addition to AGM Andy Weidl now possibly being a Vikings GM candidate later this offseason. Scott Tolzien will officially interview for the offensive coordinator job on Monday, so Alex and I cover that morning news as well. With all of the NFL head coaching vacancies now seemingly filled, Alex and I give our opinions and rankings of each hire and landing spot. We give our thoughts on where McCarthy should rank in this year's hiring cycle. A new Hall of Fame class will be announced later this week, so Alex and I go over the latest voting controversies. We also discuss Peter King admission that he made a mistake several years ago when it came to him not voting for former Steelers S Troy Polamalu back in 2020. Only one member of the Steelers, Ben Skowronek, is participating in the annual Pro Bowl games this year so with that, Alex and I discuss the future of that event and if there are ways to make it more appetizing to watch or care about. During this show, Alex and I discuss if the hype train concerning Steelers QB Will Howard needs to slow down quite a bit at this point of the offseason. We go over several questions we think NFL commissioner Roger Goodell should be asked during his annual pre-Super Bowl press conference, which should take place on Monday. This 92-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the above recap and we make sure to read and answer a few emails we have received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

January 30, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 87 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the latest news concerning the Pittsburgh Steelers and their rebuilt coaching staff that is being assembled under new HC Mike McCarthy. While none of the coaching staff hires have been made official by the team, several seem destined to happen at this point. Alex and I go over the news concerning the hirings or interviews of Lunda Wells, Scott Tolzien, Ramon Chinyoung, Adam Henry, James Campen, Jahri Evans, Jason Simmons, and Patrick Graham, who will reportedly be the team's new defensive coordinator. Alex and I also address the news that the Steelers will reportedly retain Tom Arth, Scott McCurley, and Gerald Alexander from the 2025 coaching staff. We move on to discuss the future of QB Aaron Rodgers related to numerous members of the reported new coaching staff in Pittsburgh. We also address the numerous links back to McCarthy when it comes to his perceived staff hirings as of Friday morning. With Graham set to become the Steelers' new defensive coordinator, Alex and I do a deep dive into his coaching career. We talk a lot about his defensive roots, his schemes, his tendencies and much more. We go over his fit in Pittsburgh and his most recent job as the DC with the Las Vegas Raiders. The Steelers have a new wide receiver on their roster as of Thursday, so Alex and I quickly go over the signing of WR A. T. Perry and what traits he brings to Pittsburgh. Steelers AGM Andy Weidl did not get the general manager job with the Atlanta Falcons, so we discuss that bit of news during this show. McCarthy was a guest on WDVE Radio on Friday morning, so Alex and I discuss the main talking points that came out of that 15-minute interview. This 107-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the above recap and we make sure to read and answer a few emails we have received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Evan wakes up furious at the two people he works with, and it starts with a simple point: the New York Islanders swept the New York Rangers and Evan wants full credit, no asterisks. Shaun tries to wave it off with “the Rangers quit,” which turns into an all-out fight about what “counts,” rivalry pride, and whether Ranger fans are ducking the embarrassment after the Garden got loud for Islanders fans at Madison Square Garden and UBS Arena. Then Tiki Barber lights the fuse on a totally different argument: could Kirk Cousins actually make sense for the New York Jets, not just as a stopgap starter but as a future “player-coach” type who helps shape the offense? The crew debates the age factor, the directionless feel of the Jets, and whether this is a “bottom out” year or a “build something” year, with names flying everywhere from Atlanta Falcons money mechanics to Frank Reich, Aaron Glenn, Malik Willis, and J. J. McCarthy. Plus, the phones go crazy: Islanders fans demand Shaun “own it,” Rangers fans double down on the apathy defense, and the hour ends with more fuel added to the fire, including Matthew Schaefer “king of New York” talk, Chris Drury trust issues, and a surprise moment where James Dolan somehow enters the chat.
The Jets quarterback conversation hits a breaking point as Evan, Tiki Barber, and Shaun run through the brutal list of realistic options, from Kirk Cousins to lottery tickets and pure desperation. The debate centers on one question every New York Jets fan is asking right now: are you building something for the future or should you just bottom out completely? They argue why being stuck in the middle is the worst possible outcome, why the Jets feel directionless at quarterback, and whether a short-term Cousins plan makes any sense as a bridge, mentor, or future coach-in-waiting. Callers throw out names like Malik Willis and J. J. McCarthy as the frustration grows, with everyone agreeing on one thing: right now, nobody knows what the Jets plan actually is.
Mike McCarthy is putting the band back together in Pittsburgh, and it's starting to feel like a football love story. The Steelers have hired James Campen as offensive line coach, are interviewing Scott Tolzien for OC, and reportedly pursuing Aaron Rodgers—all former Packers with deep McCarthy connections. Meanwhile, Green Bay is losing some coaching talent as Nathaniel Hackett heads to Miami and Sean Mannion makes a meteoric rise to Eagles offensive coordinator. The Bill Belichick Hall of Fame snub has become a full-blown fiasco, with coaches threatening to skip the ceremony and LeBron James calling it "insane." Six Super Bowls apparently isn't enough when petty voters with personal grudges control the process—and it's making a mockery of every gold jacket in Canton. Plus, Rasheed Walker's arrest at LaGuardia Airport for a handgun in his luggage raises questions about his free agency future, and we dive deep into the Packers' draft prospect meetings from the FCS Showcase, Hulu Bowl, and College Gridiron Showcase, breaking down interior versatile linemen, small-school corners, and intriguing edge rushers that have "Packer" written all over them.

Episode #477: “I found Myanmar a really interesting case study,” says Gerard McCarthy, a political sociologist and author of Outsourcing the Polity. His work explores how deeply divided,impoverished societies emerge from conflict and build political settlements. Drawn to Myanmar during its 2010 transition, McCarthy focuses his research on provincial regions like northern Bago and Karen States—areas largely ignored in existing scholarship, which tends to center on Yangon and Mandalay. McCarthy examines how Myanmar's military regime, following the collapse of socialism, strategically withdrew from welfare provision and encouraged businesspeople and religious institutions to fill the gap. This “social outsourcing,” he argues, gave rise to a form of “moral citizenship” in which the public relies on voluntary charity, not state entitlements. Buddhist ideas such as parahita were reinterpreted to support this system, laying the groundwork for broad civil society engagement—including the response to Cyclone Nargis in 2008. Post-coup resistance, including support for PDFs and displaced communities, builds on these same networks. But McCarthy warns against romanticizing civil society: non-state welfare is often uneven, unregulated, and unsustainable, he cautions. He notes that as a legacy of this “moral citizenship” dynamic, both elites and the general public now undervalue state-based social protections. To move forward, he suggests, Myanmar must learn from as well as build on the transparency and trust embedded in charitable systems. “The state might try to mimic the aspects of the non-state sector which people have faith in,” he argues. For him, voluntary generosity is not a substitute for nationwide systems of justice or systematic redistribution.
The phones are ringing off the hook as Packer Nation processes the Jonathan Gannon hire as defensive coordinator. Is he the innovative fire-starter this defense desperately needs, or just another recycled name that fails to inspire? The callers aren't holding back tonight. The crew dives deep into what Gannon's reputation for intensity—including that story about punching a player—could mean for a defense that's been soft. Beer Chief Benny makes the case that Green Bay needs an ass-buster who won't tolerate the nonsense anymore, while Kyle from Madison breaks down why this might actually be the smart, low-ceiling-but-high-floor hire LaFleur needed. Plus, Rasheed Walker gets arrested at LaGuardia Airport for a weapons declaration gone wrong, the guys geek out over the possibility of McCarthy and Rodgers reuniting in Pittsburgh, and Ryan drops a brutally honest take: you can't draft your way out of underperformance when Xavier McKinney, Josh Jacobs, and Rashawn Gary all played below expectations.

January 28, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 86 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers introducing Mike McCarthy as the team's new head coach during a Tuesday press conference. Alex and I parse a lot of what McCarthy had to say during his Tuesday press conference. We discuss in-depth what McCarthy had to say about QB Aaron Rodgers possibly returning in 2026 in addition to his thoughts on second-year QB Will Howard as well. We discuss whether either of us are hoping for Rodgers to return in 2026. We discuss the expected/hoped for timeline when it comes to the Rodgers' decision for 2026. Not very many current Steelers players were present for the Tuesday McCarthy press conference, so Alex and I discuss that topic a little bit during this episode as well. With Chris Shula and Nate Scheelhaase both looking like they might not land head coaching jobs this offseason, and thus staying with the Los Angeles Rams, Alex and I discuss the way that looks when it comes to Steelers deciding to bypass on both for their head coach vacancy. It sounds like the Steelers won't lose AGM Andy Weidl to the Atlanta Falcons this offseason, so Alex and I discuss that new development that happened on Tuesday. During this show, the Cleveland Browns announced that Todd Monken will be their new head coach so obviously Alex and I discuss that breaking news. We also discuss how Browns DC Jim Schwartz might not take too kindly of him being passed over for the position. Former New England Patriots HC Bill Belichick won't be a first-ballot Hall of Famer this year, so Alex and I discuss his snubbing. We also discuss how the Belichick news might further help the late L.C. Greenwood when it comes to his chances of finally getting into the Hall of Fame this year. As of Wednesday morning, we know several Steelers' candidates that are being interviewed for coaching staff spots, so we bring everyone up to date on that list of people. Later in this show, Alex and I pass along the breaking news of Adam Henry being hired by the Steelers to be the team's new wide receivers coach. This 90-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the above recap and we make sure to read and answer a few emails we have received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

The Dynasty Nerds crew is back with their monthly Risers and Fallers episode, and the conversation got heated. Rich Dotson, Garret Price, and Jagger May debated which players are climbing the dynasty rankings and which ones are plummeting after the AFC and NFC Championship games. Trevor Lawrence topped the risers list as the unanimous number one. With Liam Coen's offense and a loaded receiving corps, Rich declared him an elite dynasty asset at just 26 years old. Jaxson Dart landed at number two, with John Harbaugh bringing stability to the Giants and Malik Nabers returning from injury. Colston Loveland rounded out the top three, cementing himself as a top five tight end after his playoff breakout. On the falling side, CJ Stroud was the unanimous number one faller. Rich went on a legendary rant, calling him overvalued for years and predicting he could slide even further when the elite 2027 quarterback class arrives. JJ McCarthy and Zach Charbonnet also took hits, with McCarthy facing competition rumors and Charbonnet dealing with a devastating ACL injury.
