We have a very special live episode for you recorded for the Arizona Theatre Matters 2022 Festival. In it, we talk all about seances (as if it wasn't obvious from our last minisode). First, Cody talks about Helen Duncan, the last woman tried as a witch in Britain for talking to dead soldiers during WW2. Then, Chris discusses Mae West, the Hollywood starlet fascinated by seances. Next, Cody shares the story of a man who sets up a fake seance only to have the real thing thrown in his face. Finally, Chris talks about a crazy seance set up in a haunted Toys R Us…You read that right. Our drinks were whatever the heck we wanted to make for this special.Advisory: 0:00s-0:18sIntro Music: 0:18s-0:46sTopic: 0:46s-7:27mDrinks: 7:27m-10:37mHistory: 10:37m-20:24mHelen Duncan: 20:24m-32:40mMae West: 32:40m-41:37mTrailer: 41:37m-42:32mGross Pointe: 43:32m-51:30mSylvia Browne: 51:30m-59:23mOuija: 59:23m-1:04:50hBeliever: 1:04:50h-1:07:46hSkeptic: 1:07:46h-1:13:40mCreep of the Week: 1:13:40m-1:15:35mSign Off: 1:15:35h-1:28:16hExit Music: 1:28:16h-1:28:33hOriginal Music: “Halloween Pumpkin” found at https://www.purple-planet.comTo find other strange podcasts, follow our network: https://podmoth.network/LinksHistory-https://coolmomsusa.com/the-history-of-the-seance/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A9ance#:~:text=The%20word%20s%C3%A9ance%20comes%20from,%22a%20movie%20session%22).https://www.history.com/news/flu-pandemic-wwi-ouija-boards-spiritualismhttps://allthatsinteresting.com/seancesHelen Duncan-https://www.express.co.uk/news/history/727844/Britain-last-witch-Helen-Duncan-exoneration-60-yearshttps://www.ranker.com/list/scary-stories-from-seances/melissa-brinksMae West-https://www.classicmoviehub.com/blog/lives-behind-the-legends-mae-west-spiritual-vixen/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mae_WestGross Pointe-http://www.castleofspirits.com/ghoststories/stories99/November1999_4.htmlSylvia Browne and the Haunted Toys ‘R Us:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvia_Brownehttps://www.jmplumbley.com/2015/09/03/clean-up-on-aisle-15-the-haunting-of-toys-r-us-sunnyvale/https://www.strangerdimensions.com/2016/07/03/haunted-toys-r-us-sunnyvale-california/https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/651670/haunted-toys-r-usOuija-https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/20mq5c/to_those_who_played_with_a_ouija_boarddo_tell/cg4ykgm/https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/20mq5c/to_those_who_played_with_a_ouija_boarddo_tell/cg599ny/Believer-https://www.forbes.com/sites/mishagajewski/2021/01/17/heres-why-some-people-say-they-hear-dead-people/?sh=2165b37a439ahttps://everettclipper.com/13425/showcase/modern-seance-searching-for-a-connection/Skeptic-https://www.forbes.com/sites/mishagajewski/2021/01/17/heres-why-some-people-say-they-hear-dead-people/?sh=2165b37a439ahttps://everettclipper.com/13425/showcase/modern-seance-searching-for-a-connection/

On this week's episode, Rob and Andy discuss Andy's wedding, supernatural occurrences, and yeah, a little Simpsons chat thrown in the mix ;) What an absolutely wonderful episode of the Simpsons this is though, it truly had it all. Lisa, after undertaking an archeological dig at the site of a new mega-mall, finds what the townspeople believe to be the remains of an angel. Turmoil ensues, and relationships are strained as a result. Enjoy guys!

Today we are looking at the Skeptic Metaphysicians. Their description is, "Like Mulder from the X-Files, we want to believe. So we've embarked on a journey of discovery. We've talked to people deeply entrenched in the spiritual, metaphysical, mental health and self-help worlds. We've thrown ourselves into weird and wonderful experiences, and we're sharing them with you in an effort to find the trick to self-growth. Whether your interests lie in the metaphysical or the spiritual or even grounded in the three-dimensional world, this show will help you explore the endless possibilities of self-growth....tinged with a hint of the supernatural. New episodes every Wednesday!Check out their website at www.skepticmetaphysician.comWhat We Liked About the ShowSome really good questions were askedYou did a GREAT job of being skeptical without being cynical (a very safe space)You didn't interrupt the guest when they were in the thick of a storyWe loved your description of the showYou did a great job of stepping into the shoes of your guest.You take the show seriously but still kept it light.The website looks great using PodpageYour "final" answer showed vulnerability and was amazing.Great job explaining the roles (scientist) of the people involved.The podcast sounds great.What We Thought Needed TweakedWe loved your description, but it took a little long to get to that descriptionWho is Karen? (neither the episode or the website answered this question).You (in some cases) ask a question and add a description/backstory. Flip the content around and set up the question and ask the question last (so the guest hears the question last).Don't forget to use people's names when you have multiple hosts.Get comfortable with awkward pausesUse one call to action (and rotate if needed).

This new segment on the podcast talking about cryptocurrency has become a really interesting side show, and today's guest kept the interest high. Besides hosting his own podcast, The Crypto 101 Show, Joe is well-versed in the subject and provided a good balanced and nuanced view of cryptocurrencies in general and Bitcoin in particular. This is our fourth installment in the series, and the conversations are proving to be a very deep dive into the subject.

Fair warning… this episode is NSFW. It is the Spooky Wednesday that Kala had been waiting for… Episode 69! Kala starts the episode with the concept of spectrophelia, where people just love to bang it out with ghosts. This may sound weird, but it's much more common than you might think. And if it's not believable, then the multiple sex puns Kala makes may be enough to convince you. If her story still leaves you questioning, you may want to find a ghost lover for yourself. And Brittany tells everyone the tragic tale of Jean Harlow. This celebrity's life was filled with tragedy, and as a result, her former home may contain echoes after her death. And between the two stories this week we're left with one common theme… “Because, men!” This episode is sponsored by Earth Rider Brewery in Superior, WI.

Are you skeptical about healing? Do you need a touch from God? Then this episode is for you! Listen to this testimony by Pastor Linda Budd of RiverGate Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 

We cling to things as if they won't change, but change is the nature of reality. When we embrace impermanence, we prepare ourselves for big changes, and are able to let go of our fear and anxiety to become more fully present to those around us, to make the most meaningful choices day-to-day, and to more deeply appreciate life's fleeting pleasures.Episode 9. Embracing ImpermanenceTwo years ago, we created A Skeptic's Path to Enlightenment to share the rich tradition of Tibetan Buddhist analytical meditation in a form that requires no belief beyond what science currently accepts. The first 40 episodes of the podcast gradually go through all of these topics, in order, beginning with appreciating the gift of our life and our place in the universe, and gradually moving up to cultivating boundless compassion for all beings and understanding the ultimate nature of our inner and outer realities. Over the next year, interspersed with new interviews, we are re-releasing updated versions of these topics.Support the show

Welcome to another episode of The Atheist Experience. This week, Matt Dillahunty is joined by Dave Warnock!First up is Aiden from IL who is calling to update our hosts on their life since their previous call about dying with dignity.Next up is Cody from TX who wants to talk about the importance of the Secular Student Alliance and its role in normalizing atheism and providing opportunities for atheists to find community.John from Canada is calling to express their opinion on the overturning of “Roe vs Wade.” Your opinion has been noted; we thank you for your business. Next customer, please.Art from PA is calling to present an argument that Jesus isn't actually God. Flawed premises equal a flawed conclusion.Oh, Mykil from Canada is mad. Really mad.Next up is Tory from IL, an ex-Jehovah's Witness who lost everything when they departed the organization.Up next is Victor from TX who claims that God cannot be demonstrated by using reason, but can be using intuition.Next is David from AZ who is apparently super pro-choice, but still has questions regarding the rights of the fetus.Next is Ciel from OR who believes that deep, internal spiritual experiences are what drive people to God.

This week we got a rave review from a fan, namely that we are more cringey, absurd, and touchy-feely garbage with each passing week. We're so excited to be making such consistent progress, and hope you'll join us this Sunday to witness us taking one more step toward greatness: call us at 585-526-8774 or tiny.cc/callSG.SOME EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENTSMay 19th: Senior Patron Hangout on Discord May 21st: Watch Eric Build Our Production Computer!

What if that person is your Christian brother? What if he has started listening to Jordan Peterson? This caller needs help figuring out family communication as a new skeptic. This is the book that Vi recommended: https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/informal-logic-a-pragmatic-approach_douglas-n-walton/794396/item/4024815/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwyYKUBhDJARIsAMj9lkG7RD3zS794oZvRQRZ2R7mV_lu---2rIah9m47AIsI_Zt1a2FosPIkaAhqyEALw_wcB#idiq=4024815&edition=5988947 23:10Repeat theist caller Joe asks why skeptics are so concerned about astrology and horoscopes. Aren't they harmless fun most of the time? Eric points out some situations when relying on astrology could be really dangerous, and Vi highlights the underlying problem of magical thinking that normalizes accepting harmful claims. 37:09Star Trek nerd alert on this one! This caller wants to know if the hosts would concede that an all-powerful or manipulative creature was a god. Well, what does being a god even mean? Why do we call things “god” in the first place? Eric approaches this from a linguistic perspective, while Vi highlights the moral and aesthetic baggage weighing down the word “god”. 47:00Xeno calls back to teach us why God is real, using NFTs as an example. The only problem is, Vi and Eric remain resoundingly unimpressed. Eric especially is having none of it, and this caller ends up being hung up on after telling the hosts to “sit down and shut up.” 1:15:41This caller is an atheist working undercover at an international televangelist organization. He is grappling with some guilt because while it pays well, he knows he's helping the baddies. Should he quit his job? Publish a tell-all? Become a mole and report dirt to the government? Eric and Vi have some ideas, and also definitely want to read his future book. 1:24:55 This atheist caller tells the hosts about an answered prayer from his past, and it is genuinely a beautiful story. The three of them break down why it might be compelling for believers, why it probably was just coincidence, and how that doesn't make it any less special. ___________________Skeptic Generation is LIVE every Sunday at 11:30am-1:00pm CTCall on your phone: 585-LA-MURPH (585-526-8774) Call online: https://tiny.cc/callSG Love the show?

It's Point / Counterpoint for crypto! Brian is the former Chief Marketing Officer for Atheneum Blockchain. He will also soon release his new book, "Bitcoin Evangelism", and he joins Walt on the program today to discuss the prospects for cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin. The conversation turns out to be excellent. Brian is an extremely knowledgeable guest, and he brings a measured and realistic viewpoint to the whole topic of cryptocurrencies. Walt unveils some of his criticisms of Bitcoin in particular, and he is pleasantly surprised how much of what he says Brian ends up agreeing with. This is a great conversation for anyone who really wants to get to the root of the whole issue regarding whether one or more cryptocurrencies can actually gain widespread acceptance as a currency.

(Limited livestream event) May 22nd: Surprise Birthday Episode Week of June 6th (TBD): Eric & Vi Are In Portland, OR! ___________________TIME STAMPS & CALL NOTES 00:00 - Intro - Eric Shows Us His Parts…. Not Like That 10:58 - Is “Love” a Religious Word? - Douglas (he/him) - ID 25:32 - Theist Says Atheists Can't Understand Love - Jay (??) - MO 44:55 - Should I Join the Church of Prismatic Light? - Levi (he/him) - CO 51:38 - Why Are We Forced to Play By Different Rules? - Chris (he/him) - CT 1:10:29 - Atheist Defends Unconditional Love - Woflos (he/him) - TX 10:20 We have a few calls about love this week. This caller wants to know whether love is a word religious people use to manipulate, and how we can best reclaim the word so it cannot be used for harm. Vi references All About Love by bell hooks, and Eric speaks from personal experience regarding how religion used “love” to control. Curious about more philosophy on love? Go buy the book All About Love: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17607.All_About_Love 25:38Repeat theist caller Jay wants to give us the good news: we cannot understand unconditional love because we do not believe in God. After being confused about why this might be considered rude or condescending, Jay tries to pivot to challenging the hosts to accept God into their lives by “seeking” for 30 days. The hosts are not having it. If you want to watch Eric vs Jay in another video, check this one out: https://youtu.be/PR9D5g9_b_I 45:09Last week, we talked a bit about the Church of Prismatic Light, a new non–profit organization that is currently working to be recognized as a religion by the US government. The hope is that becoming a member of this church will protect the rights of LGBTQ+ folks that are quickly being stripped away. Levi asks: Should he join, or is relying on a religion for rights ceding too much? Watch Vi's explanation of the Church here: https://youtu.be/RNbwH6TCoyw If you're curious about becoming a Prismatist, follow this link: https://linktr.ee/churchofprismaticlight 51:47How do we have “civil conversation” without lapsing into “civility politics”? This caller highlights this issue and how it manifests in atheist circles specifically, and the hosts share their tactics for demolishing dog whistles, educating others, and advocating for a bigger epistemological toolbox. This caller also has some zingers in here, so make sure to stick around for them! 1:10:32Repeat caller Wolfos wraps up our conversation on love by saying that he experiences universal, unconditional love as an atheist. Eric is a bit confused by this and pushes back, while Vi points out how we simply do not have enough words to accurately describe our emotions. Wolfos and Vi also share some painful and evocative personal stories. ___________________Skeptic Generation is LIVE every Sunday at 11:30am-1:00pm CTCall on your phone: 585-LA-MURPH (585-526-8774) Call online: https://tiny.cc/callSG Love the show?

Episode 52– Show NotesAndrew's daughter, Jahannah, has a YouTube channel and she takes seriously the possibility of Atlantis being more than a myth. They held a debate together on her channel which Andrew needed to prepare for with a heap of research and reading. The parallels with research into ancient history of relevance to Hebrew and Christian beliefs made this exercise a great window onto the issues our podcast covers, and so we get stuck in. This drifts in eventually to a brief chat about the ‘curse tablet' that may be a significant find to add evidence for an early date for the name Yahweh. Jahannah's channel is FunnyOldWorld:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN2Z_nuG5XtVnE998unA3PAAnd their debate is called “Dad Debates Atlantis Part 1” (with the 2nd one coming later):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaVl1CORQDY The Premier Christianity article on the ‘curse tablet' which gives both sides:https://www.premierchristianity.com/opinion/is-this-biblical-curse-tablet-the-most-significant-discovery-in-recent-history/12803.article Doubts Aloud Links:Please leave us a review on iTunes and we will respond to any question asked there with the review.

FROM SKEPTIC TO WORLD CLASS CHANNELER with PAUL SELIG     “I think we are all unique and different and wonderful. And I don't think that what I do is necessarily better than what the accountant is doing, it's just a different way of being worked with. We are all here to be expressed in our highest way, whatever that might be.”   “Nothing gets transformed until it's seen or brought to the light… Our only real challenge as a species, as humanity, is the denial of the divine.”   “You can't be the light and hold another in darkness. What you damn damns you back. What you bless blesses you in return.”   “According to the guides, this is a time of enormous opportunity.”   – world-renown channeler Paul Selig     Episode Summary:   Paul was born in New York City and received his master's degree from Yale. A noted playwright and educator, Paul served on the faculty of NYU for over 25 years, and directed a Creative Writing Program at Goddard College.   A spiritual experience in 1987 left him clairvoyant. Paul has the unique ability to step into and “become” the people his clients ask about, often taking on their personalities and physical characteristics as he “hears” them telepathically.   And he channels books of divine wisdom teachings.  Paul is one of the foremost contributors to the field of channeled literature today: The Kingdom (2021) Alchemy (2020) Beyond the Known: Realization (2019) The Book of Freedom (2018) The Book of Truth (2017) The Book of Mastery (2016) The Book of Knowing and Worth (2013) The Book of Love and Creation (2012) I am the Word (2010)   Paul's work is widely featured in a variety of media, including ABC News Nightline, Fox News, the Biography Channel series The UneXplained, Gaiam TV's Beyond Belief and the documentary film PGS: Your Personal Guidance System. He has appeared on numerous radio shows and podcasts including Coast to Coast AM with George Noory and Bob Olson's Afterlife TV.   Listen in to hear a very personal, behind-the-scenes conversation with a world class channeler.       Topics We Discuss: [4:40] Paul's spiritually transformative experience – he just asked for it! His experiences afterward and developing skills.   [7:26] Paul's different experiences channeling vs. psychic readings.   [11:08] How Paul's channeled books came to him.   [11:44] Paul's experience with his guides.   [14:52] Paul's description of Christ Consciousness as a higher level of tone and vibration.   [22:00] Paul's suspicions of his other lifetimes as a mystic.   [25:13] Paul's uses the analogy of sitting in the back seat of a car to characterize his interactions with his guides during channeling books. How his guides field his questions during channeling.   [33:29] Paul's next book. How the books come to him.   [37:48] Why Paul's guides have said in his first book, “We are at a time of reconning and we are facing ourselves.”   [43:42] and [53:41] Key messages and themes taught by Paul's guides. Rearticulation. Attunement Manifestation of source energy. Serving in truth. How you become the expression of the divine. Nobody is more worthy than the next. Accordance.   [49:29] The 12-step process value to spirituality.   [51:17] How Paul integrates the teachings.   [54:49] The transformative energy of these teachings just by listening or reading to the teachings.         FOLLOW PAUL SELIG:   Paul offers channeled workshops internationally and serves on the faculty of The Omega Institute, The Kripalu Center and the Esalen Institute. He lives in Maui where he maintains a private practice as an intuitive and conducts frequent live-stream seminars.   More information on public workshops, livestreams, private readings, and Paul's books can be found at PaulSelig.com.       SUPPORT DR.

Will Rodriguez spent the early part of his 20's searching for answers. He knew there had to be more to life than what was in the 3D. He spent years searching many different spiritual practices...eventually getting busy with life and putting those practices away. Fast forward to 2019. The world was going through a huge pandemic, and Will began searching once again for answers. He decided that the best way to learn more was to create a podcast where he could interview experts in all areas of spirituality and metaphysics. His wife Karen joined him, and together they have been creating magical episodes that will fascinate and delight all audiences. Their love of all things mystical and their chemistry on air make this podcast a must listen. They talk about some of their more fascinating guests and moments, and we share a laugh or two.

The Crypto Skeptic is a new special segment here on LOA Today.  With heightened interest in cryptocurrency, and given how we conscious creators are always interested in attracting money into our lives, I decided that it was time to address this topic in a serious way. So this is the first of what will be a series of special segments featuring special guests who are experts in the field. They'll be advocating crypto. I'll be the skeptical one. It's going to be fun! Our first episode is actually an outlier, because my guest today doesn't buy and hold cryptocurrencies.  She just day-trades them. But it gives us the opportunity to explore a potential source of income for listeners who might be interested. Anne's company's website:  https://currencytradesystem.com/

Dr. Oz's personable and folky approach when talking about difficult health subjects has made him a trusted source for medical information. But some of the claims offered on The Doctor Oz Show are clearly questionable, such as the existence of miracle diet pills. Now the show is on hiatus so that “America's Doctor” can run for the U.S. Senate.  In our regular look at critical thinking, Skeptic Check, we evaluate Mehmet Oz's record on presenting evidence-based health and medical information in light of his running for Congress, where he would be empowered to influence health policy. Guests: James McCormack – Professor in the faculty of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of British Columbia. His team's study evaluating evidence presented on medical television shows was published in the BMJ (formerly British Medical Journal) Ian Ward – Contributing Editor at POLITICO Magazine, author of the article, “When Dr. Oz Went to the Senate” Timothy Caulfield – Canada Research Chair in Health Law and Policy at the University of Alberta Featuring music by Dewey Dellay and Jun Miyake This episode brought to you in part by Private Internet Access - America's #1 virtual private network.

Scripture exhorts us not to be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. How much does the world subtly influence our thinking about God? In our day and age we are accustomed to "Googling" or asking Alexa for facts and information about anything from the weather to world news. How does this impact our thinking about God? Is God just a set of propositions to be defended? And must we exhaustively demonstrate evidence for God through rigorous proofs and experiments? On part two of our discussion with Christian philosopher Dr. Esther Lightcap Meek, we unpack some of these problematic ideas about modernist thinking and Esther offers insightful correctives to modern ideas through integrating the thoughts of scientist and philosopher Michael Polanyi and theologian John M. Frame  in her own thesis as "covenant epistemology." Whether it is the art of science, riding a bike, or knowing your auto mechanic, knowledge is inherently personal and participatory. We are beings in bodies, living souls, divine image bearers, subjects of our Creator. Our knowledge of God comes through participating in the community and work in which He has placed us.Dr. Esther Lightcap Meek (BA Cedarville College, MA Western Kentucky University, Ph.D Temple University) is Professor of Philosophy emeritus at Geneva College, in Western Pennsylvania. She is a Fellow Scholar with the Fujimura Institute, an Associate Fellow with the Kirby Laing Center for Public Theology, and a member of the Polanyi Society. She offers courses for Theopolis Institute, The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, and Regent College. Esther now works from Steubenville, Ohio. Her books include: Longing to Know - The Philosophy of Knowledge for Ordinary People (Baker Publishing Group, 2003) Loving To Know - Covenant Epistemology (Cascade Books, 2011) A Little Manual For Knowing (Cascade Books, 2014) Contact with Reality (Cascade Books, 2017) Be sure to check out our other podcasts on the importance of philosophy in the Christian faith!
