Tonight on Richard Syrett's Strange Planet, we examine a story modern science is deeply uncomfortable confronting. Katie Asher's journey begins in trauma and survival, then leads to her son Houston—severely neurologically injured, non-speaking, yet unmistakably present. When he communicates the sentence “I'm in here,” it isn't a revelation of awakening—but of recognition. Through supported spelling, Houston demonstrates advanced language, abstract reasoning, and a coherent spiritual worldview he was never taught—describing heaven, angels, and Christ—while his mother remains skeptical. Researchers documented the data. Filmmakers told part of the story. But the spiritual framework was left out. Tonight, we explore what happens when consciousness refuses to fit inside a materialist box. GUEST: Katie Asher is a writer, speaker, and advocate for non-speaking individuals whose cognitive and inner lives are routinely misunderstood. She is the co-author of The Book of Heaven, written with her son Houston, a work that challenges assumptions about intelligence, communication, and the nature of consciousness itself. Known for her intellectual honesty and initial skepticism, Katie brings a grounded, maternal, and rigorously self-critical perspective to questions of neuroscience, spirituality, and faith. Her family's story has drawn the attention of researchers and documentary filmmakers precisely because it resists easy categorization—and refuses to diminish the dignity of those who communicate differently.

Maria Cuccia, author of His Name Is Elijah, shares a deeply personal story that begins with faith, family, and motherhood—and then crosses into territory most people refuse to contemplate. This is not a UFO case file or a detached investigation. It's a lived experience shaped by Catholic mysticism, generational trauma, altered states of consciousness, and an alleged non-human encounter centered on an impossible bond: a mother and a child who does not exist in ordinary reality. We're not here to debunk or diagnose—only to ask whether our categories are too small. GUEST: Maria Cuccia is the author of His Name Is Elijah, a memoir exploring faith, consciousness, and an extraordinary encounter that reshaped her understanding of motherhood and reality itself. Writing with vulnerability and conviction, Cuccia examines the collision between mystical experience, psychiatry, and belief, offering a rare inside account of what happens when meaning itself is put on trial. Her work sits at the uneasy intersection of spirituality, trauma, and alleged non-human contact. BOOK: His Name is Elijah WEBSITE: https://mariacuccia.com SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

But tonight, Richard Syrett is unlocking one of those premium episodes for everyone. In this special open-access edition of Strange Planet, Richard revisits one of the most pivotal UFO encounters in history. In July 1948, Eastern Airlines pilots Clarence Chiles and John Whitted were flying a DC-3 over Montgomery, Alabama, when a massive, glowing, cigar-shaped craft streaked past their cockpit with blazing exhaust before vanishing into the night sky. The incident stunned the U.S. Air Force and helped spark what would become Project Blue Book. Official explanations quickly followed—but the records don't line up. Declassified files, burned reports, and conflicting testimony suggest something far more troubling. Was it a meteor, a secret military prototype—or evidence of a non-human presence? Join Richard Syrett as he opens a normally locked file and examines the Chiles-Whitted encounter—one mystery too important to keep behind a paywall. SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

Not as a matter of faith, but as a question of evidence. This episode of Strange Planet takes listeners into a courtroom-style investigation of Christianity's most consequential claim—the birth of Christ. Trial attorney Daniel P. Buttafuoco examines the Bible not as devotional literature, but as documentary evidence, weighing eyewitness testimony, manuscript reliability, and forensic archaeology. From the Dead Sea Scrolls to Messianic prophecy written centuries before Bethlehem, this is a Christmas episode without sentimentality—rooted in ancient texts, hard proof, and a single, unsettling question: if this were any other case, would the evidence really be dismissed? GUEST: Daniel P. Buttafuoco is a veteran trial attorney who brings the discipline of the courtroom to the biggest questions of faith. Known for his rigorous, evidence-based approach, he treats Christianity as a legal case—argued with rules of evidence, standards of proof, and historical documentation. In his book Unapologetic: Clear Answers to Tough Bible Questions, Buttafuoco examines Scripture as an ancient legal record, drawing on eyewitness testimony, textual consistency, and forensic discoveries like the Dead Sea Scrolls. He doesn't ask audiences to believe—he asks them to examine the evidence and reach a verdict.

Jeff Brown claims a seemingly benign collaboration drew him into a hidden world of digital surveillance, psychological pressure, police signaling, and off-book actors operating beyond accountability. In this episode of Strange Planet, Brown recounts how intimate access gave way to years of intimidation—and why he believes modern power no longer needs arrests or censorship to silence dissent. If technology is the new enforcer and anonymity the new weapon, Brown warns his story isn't an anomaly. It's a preview. A chilling conversation about sovereignty, silence, and the machinery beneath the official story. GUEST: Jeff Brown is a former criminal lawyer, psychotherapist, and best-selling author. His work explores power, trauma, technology, and spiritual sovereignty. In In Trudeau's Kitchen, Brown chronicles what he describes as a four-year ordeal involving surveillance, psychological warfare, and digital suppression—raising urgent questions about democracy, whistleblowers, and the hidden architecture of modern control.

They were warnings. In the final chapter of our four-part series on Science Fiction & Reality, we confront the most unsettling idea of all: the creatures that once haunted novels and movie screens were never fantasies — they were prototypes. From mutants and cyborgs to engineered viruses, mind control, cloning, and immortal elites, science fiction didn't invent our fears. It documented them in advance. Tonight, with Professor Mark Brake, we ask the forbidden question no one in power wants answered: What if the real monster was never the creature… but the human who created it? GUEST: Professor Mark Brake is a leading science communicator and author exploring the hidden feedback loop between imagination and innovation. He is the author of FutureWorld: Where Science Fiction Becomes Science and numerous bestselling books examining the real science behind Star Wars, superheroes, time travel, and the multiverse. Known for translating complex ideas into gripping narratives, Brake argues that science fiction doesn't merely entertain — it quietly shapes the laboratories, technologies, and futures we eventually inhabit.

"I got employee of the year in 2016 for introducing Excel as a project management tool for the construction department in my company."That's the state of technology in the $300 billion store development industry.In today's episode of Bricks & Bytes, we sat down with Genevieve Davis and Alim Uderbekov from Surfaice. These two met on a beach in California (yes, really) and decided to tackle one of the most analog industries out there with AI agents.Here's what we covered:✅ Why companies building hundreds of stores aren't using Procore (hint: it's expensive and they're retailers, not developers)✅ The "McDonald's is a race car" analogy - why 40,000 cookie-cutter restaurants are actually the perfect use case for AI in construction✅ How code is becoming a commodity and why that changes everything about vertical software✅ Why AI won't take your job, but people who know how to use it willLink in comments - give it a listen if you're in retail, store development, or just want to hear how two people turned a beach conversation into a company.Our Sponsors:Aphex is the multiplayer planning platform where construction teams plan together, stay aligned, and deliver projects faster – check out aphex.coArchdesk - “The #1 Construction Management Software for Growing Companies - Manage your projects from Tender to Handover” check archdesk.comBuildVision - streamlining the construction supply chain with a unified platform - www.buildvision.ioChapters00:00 Intro03:46 Introduction to Surface and Founders' Backgrounds 06:48 The Vision Behind Surface and AI in Construction 09:41 The Meeting of Minds: Genevieve and Alim's Collaboration 12:45 Current Challenges in Store Development 15:30 AI's Role in Automating Construction Processes 18:32 Efficiency Gains and Time Savings with AI 21:44 The Future of Store Development and Human Touchpoints 24:30 Defensibility and Business Model of Surface 27:25 Funding and Future Plans for Surface 39:13 Investment Insights and Strategic Partnerships 41:31 Customer Engagement and Feedback 44:33 AI in Construction: Transforming Workflows 47:14 Navigating the Go-To-Market Strategy 54:20 Understanding Competition in the AI Space 59:25 Customization and Onboarding Process 01:03:07 Future of AI in Construction

From Čapek's enslaved robots to Asimov's hopeful laws, from Wells's remote-controlled war machines to Orwell's watchful screens, the blueprints were drawn in stories. Professor Mark Brake reveals how these fictions didn't just predict the future—they scripted it.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1292 The Time Plot: When Science Fiction Stops Predicting and Starts Instructing Time travel has always been dismissed as fantasy — until you look closer. In this episode of Strange Planet, we venture into the strange frontier where science fiction stops predicting the future and starts engineering it. Joining me is Professor Mark Brake, who reveals how visionary writers like H.G. Wells mapped the architecture of time long before physicists dared to explore it. From quantum theories and alternate timelines to cryonics and suspended animation, we examine whether humanity has already begun slipping through time without admitting it. Is time a rigid law… or the next barrier waiting to break?

This Whiparound Friday episode might as well be a show about nothing with not much going on in golf this week. Andy and Brendan start with a quick rundown of an early leaderboard at the Procore with players like Mackenzie Hughes and Matt Kuchar leading the way. They then move to the BMW PGA on the DP World Tour where auto-qualifier Rasmus Hojgaard struggled on Thursday. Andy takes that baton and runs with it, explaining that the Ryder Cup captains need to be more cutthroat and sit struggling players until Sunday singles if that's what is best for the team. This leads into an impromptu Flashback Friday on the 2018 Ryder Cup at Le Golf National in Paris, France. Andy and Brendan remember some crazy decisions made by the American side, such as making a "celebratory" Tiger Woods play four times that week and pairing a rookie Bryson DeChambeau with a wild Phil Mickelson. They bring up supporting characters such as Thorbjorn Olesen playing with Rory McIlroy and the European team of "Moliwood" that effectively won the event on their own. As for the 2025 event, the Americans are out in full force in Napa and Keegan Bradley is calling this the "closest team he's ever seen" - despite only seeing two teams prior to this. After a bunch of winding Ryder Cup chatter, some legendary Golf Advice emails send us into the weekend. A #HedgeBoy story from Cypress jogs Andy's memory about a horrendous round in the area before Brendan reads an email about a member-guest caddie's interactions with nature.
The first week of the NFL and the boys couldn't be on more opposite ends of the ship. We're 2 weeks away from the Ryder Cup at Bethpage and Team USA is getting the team ready at the Procore, while Team Europe is at the BMW PGA Championship getting ready. But an even bigger team play matchup is taking place that same weekend…Subscribe to our channels and share with your friends!#golf #podcast #pgatour #RyderCup #Football

Andy joins Brendan! fresh off a weekend at the 50th Walker Cup with a notebook full of observations from Cypress Point. The United States won for the fifth-straight time, securing a blowout margin with a strong performance in Sunday singles. Andy shares some tales from the ground, including notes on Mason Howell, Niall Shiels Donegan, and Michael La Sasso. Brendan provides some color on the broadcast side after two days of watching at home. Not to be outdone by the amateurs, Bryson DeChambeau showed up for the weekend to be a thirsty boy and share his thoughts on Dr. MacKenzie's masterpiece. Andy also spent some time with a legendary light-hitting first baseman as well! On the professional golf side of things, Rory McIlroy won the Irish Open on Sunday morning, making an eagle on the 72nd hole to send the event into a playoff. It was an emotional week for Rory, who brought his green jacket to show off to the home crowds at the K Club. Andy and Brendan try further contextualize Rory's rollercoaster of a 2025 following this latest win. In news, a podcast favorite throws out the first pitch at a New York Yankees game and Xander is the only eligible American Ryder Cupper skipping out on the Procore. We wrap things up with a Football Minute following disastrous Browns and Jets losses on Sunday, because how would an NFL season start otherwise?
Keegan Bradley is making sure Team USA doesn't repeat the costly Ryder Cup mistake that's haunted them in the past with a bold move that could be the game-changer they need to take back the Cup. In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down how Keegan Bradley is rewriting the Ryder Cup 2025 playbook at Bethpage Black. After Team USA was criticized in Rome for their “disgraceful preparation” and taking five weeks of rest before the matches, Bradley is making sure history doesn't repeat itself. He's sending nearly the entire U.S. Ryder Cup team to compete in the Procore Championship to stay sharp and avoid the dreaded rust versus rest debate. On top of that, the team has rented a massive team house in Napa with a dedicated Ryder Cup–style team room designed to build camaraderie, chemistry, and unity ahead of one of the most hostile Ryder Cup environments ever. Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy and Team Europe arrive with momentum, depth, and experience, calling themselves more accomplished than the group that won in 2023. With legends like Ian Poulter urging them to embrace the “cauldron” of the New York crowd, Europe is ready for the challenge. We dive into whether Bradley's bold strategy of playing the Procore, building team chemistry, and keeping players in form could finally give Team USA the edge they need to win back the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.
