The United Kingdom has sixteen nuclear power stations. Most go under the radar, but their presence is enormous, both physically and culturally. They divide opinion like nothing else. Are they relics of a past era, or a crucial part of our futures? Are they cathedrals of science or temples of doom? Atomic Albion: Journeys Around Britain's Nuclear Power Stations (Strange Attractor, 2025) by Dr. Tom Bolton is a journey around Britain's nuclear power stations and the country itself. From the Essex marshes to the Anglesey coast, from the Dungeness shingle to the far north of Scotland, Tom Bolton explores how nuclear sites shape the places around them, and enters the awesome world of nuclear power and weapons. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this Gene Keys exclusive, humanity has officially crossed what Richard Rudd calls a global “crisis point” — a collective threshold that signals the beginning of a massive evolutionary shift. In this powerful new conversation, Richard reveals how the rising tension on the planet, the amplification of the collective shadow, and the acceleration of world events are all part of a deeper 2026–27 mutation cycle described in the Gene Keys. We explore how this crisis is igniting a profound spiritual awakening, a restructuring of human consciousness, and the emergence of what Richard names a Phoenix Era — a phase of breakdown, purification, and rebirth that has been prophesied in many spiritual traditions. If you've been following global ascension timelines, 2026 predictions, prophecy updates, or the growing discussion around a coming collective awakening, this episode is a must-watch.✦ Starting January 6th, 2026 – Join Richard in his LAST ever online retreat: The Golden Path

To access the full interview, please consider joining Patreon as a paid member, or you can purchase the episode for a one-time fee. www.patreon.com/RejectedReligion. This month's guest is author Graham St. John, who joined me to discuss his new book, Strange Attractor: The Hallucinatory Life of Terence McKenna.Terence McKenna remains one of the most enigmatic voices of the psychedelic counterculture—equal parts philosopher, performer, and visionary. In this episode, we explore McKenna's mythopoetic “stoned ape” theory, his radical take on shamanism, the ‘teacher' Mushroom that leads one to the ‘indwelling of the Goddess', the mysteries of DMT and the “machine elves,” and his controversial Timewave Zero vision of history and hyperspace that embraced the I Ching and the Mayan calendar ‘2012 phenomenon.'Beyond psychedelics, McKenna was also fascinated with alchemy and Gnosticism, and while figures like Crowley, John Dee, and Gurdjieff were not embraced by McKenna, Graham nevertheless calls him a “psychedelic occultist”—a thinker whose visions of transformation resonate with centuries of esoteric tradition, even if McKenna probably would have resisted the label. Along the way, we unpack the tension between his cult of personality and his desire for academic legitimacy, and consider the legacy he left for today's psychedelic and occult communities.Unfortunately, I experienced some technical difficulties with my podcasting equipment, and the sound quality is not up to the normal standard.

Join me as I sit down with visionary musician, record producer, author and rock star, Rodney Orpheus, and author, historian and Occult legend, the great Phil Hine,We are talking about Rodney and Phil's incredible new book, "Delinquent Elementals". This anthology is a treasure trove of the 'Pagan News' zines from the 1980s, offering a unique glimpse into a vibrant community. Rodney and Phil, were the creative pairing behind Pagan News, share how their publication emerged from the thriving Leeds occult scene in the north of England to fill a crucial gap, focusing on local events and unifying diverse pagan voices long before the internet existed.We have a candid discussion about the infamous Satanic Panic of the 80s and 90s. Rodney and Phil recount the very real dangers they faced, from death threats to arson, and how their magazine became a vital tool for documenting this dark period in history. In the Plus show we'll explore their innovative use of desktop publishing, their unique approach to occult satire(including the hilarious Barry Hairbrush!), and the legal and logistical challenges of running a monthly magazine that reached thousands.Whether you're curious about the intersection between summoning Laser printers and modern paganism, the impact of the Satanic Panic, or just love a good story about community and defiance, this episode is a must-listen! More importantly the book "Delinquent Elementals" preserves a vital piece of occult history for future generations.Show notes:Delinquent Elementals from Strange Attractor: https://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/delinquent-elementals/Phil's Blog https://enfolding.org/Phil's substack: https://philhine.substack.com/Phil's Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/philh.bsky.social Rodney's site: http://rodneyorpheus.comRodney's insta: https://www.instagram.com/rodneyorpheus/?hl=enKeep in touch?https://linktr.ee/darraghmasonMusic by Obliqka https://soundcloud.com/obliqka

Kris tells a gross story at the beginning of this episode. Then there's a bunch of stuff that's not gross, like knife queens™, heart punchers, and the dangers of sneak reading. All of that is followed by recommendations, as always. Official Recommendations From Kris: In Bloom by Kat Jackson This week, Kris recommends In Bloom by Kat Jackson. It centers around two damaged people, burned by love, who discover that they may not have actually experienced love until now. This is a difficult book, with lots of hard emotions. Kris praises the writing, including Jackson's way with words and characterization, as well as the book's sense of humor. Run, don't walk, and get ready to feel something. From Tara: View from the Top by Rachel Lacey This week, Tara recommends View from the Top by Rachel Lacey. Tara has read five books by this author, and this smalltown romance is her favorite. She describes it as a "one-night stand to enemies (ish?) to friends to lovers" and it immediately went to her to-reread list.  Works/People Discussed Frozen Attitudes Melted Hearts Panel (The Lesbian Review) Sense8 (Netflix) Prison Break (Fox) Fear the Walking Dead (AMC) Wynonna Earp: Vengeance (2024) RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars (Paramount+) Race Chaser Podcast Just One Good Reason by Harrytoad (Devil Wears Prada fanfic) Strange Attractors by Ana K.

In this episode we welcome the esteemed David Toop to Hammersmith – on the UK's General Election day – to discuss his extraordinary new book about (and around) Dr. John's 1968 album Gris-Gris. First we revisit the short-lived but splendidly eclectic Collusion magazine our guest co-founded in 1981: we hear about its inception and mission, as manifest in groundbreaking pieces about rap, surf, salsa, exotica and "paranoid sex in '60s soul". We touch on key points along the journey of David's journalistic career before arriving at The Wire in the '90s. A 2012 Pitchfork piece about Wire icon Scott Walker leads us to David's audio interview for that article: two clips from the conversation prompt discussion of Walker's remarkable career from the Walker Brothers to his new album Bish Bosch. Finally we reach the debut album by Malcolm Rebennack, a.k.a. "Dr. John the Night Tripper", and learn of the long gestation of David's book during lockdown. David discusses the complex themes and issues explored in Two-Headed Doctor, including voodoo, racism, minstrelsy, New Orleans, unreliable mythography, and the unsung brilliance of the album's co-creator Harold Battiste. A gravelly clip from the late Charlie Gillett's 1971 audio interview with the Night Tripper himself provides a capsule backstory to the album's germination.  Mark talks us out with quotes from newly-added library pieces about Stan Getz (1973), Fred Wesley (1974), Primal Scream (1997) and Robbie Williams (1999). Many thanks to special guest David Toop. Listening for Ghosts in Dr John's Gris-Gris will be published on August 20th by Strange Attractor. Pieces discussed: ¿Te Gusta La Musica Latina?, Alone in the Dark: Björk on Vespertine, Incredibly Strange and Highly Exotic, Scott Walker audio, Mystic vapour: 'Jump Sturdy' (book excerpt), Dr. John: Shadowy Singer Rises From Bayou, Dr. John In Babylon, Dr. John audio, Harold Battiste, Stan Getz, Fred Wesley, Primal Scream and Robbie Williams.

Holy smokes, Mark Pilkington is my guest this week! Like many folks interested in UFOs, his wildly important book Mirage Men was a paradigm shifter for me,  so this was a biggie for the Hi, Strangeness Pod. Obviously, we discuss Mirage Men (how could you not?), but we also get into his incredible publishing company Strange Attractor, his music, Strange Attractor Press's Austin Osmond Spare Tarot Deck, and other assorted angular goodness. I can't recommend visiting the Strange Attractor Press's website enough to peruse all the wonderful offerings. Oh, and one more thing..please do check his music (links below). I love it so much!  I hope you all enjoy this interview as much as I did!

*In this, the second of a two parter, we hear more of the crazy countercultural life and times of The Incredible String Band  - from the inside looking out  - with Rose Simpson   *Rose was one quarter of the band during what many regard as their creative and countercultural peak in the late 60s and early 70s.   •Her memoir 'Muse, Odalisque, Handmaiden' is an incredible story, relating how she rocketed (as a student without any particular interest in music or the counterculture), via an accidental meeting in a Scottish mountain cottage, to photoshoots in American Vogue and playing at Woodstock - and then came all the way back again.   *It's a fascinating tale, not just because the ISB were fascinating in themselves, but because it is beautifully told with a wealth of detail about a time that is usually dominated by mens' voices.   •She had many psychedelic adventures along the way, narrowly escaped getting involved in Scientology and then - and then left it all behind.   *And she knows where the sitars are buried...   *We dived into drugs, communal life, the ups and downs of free love, the catastrophe of the cult, making it up as you go along, the mysterious life and disappearance of Rose's bandmate Licorice, going full on and far out.   *Rose's memoir 'Muse, Odalisque, Handmaiden' (published by Strange Attractor)    *Adrian Whittaker's compilation book Be Glad for the Song Has No Ending    *Thanks to Peter Neal for the audio clips from his film Be Glad for the Song has No Ending       #tripping #psychedelics #london #consciousness #scotland #scottishcounterculture #counterculture #drug  #lsd #music  #joeboyd #1960s #scientology #rosesimpson #incrediblestringband #begladforthesonghasnoending #woodstock #stephenduffy #hippie  

This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we're looking at some cool books that came out in 2023. Perhaps in a novel twist on frequency bias, Stu noticed a bunch of books hitting shelves that, like steak and red wine, seem to pair well with his own Monsters, Aliens, and Holes in the Ground in a variety of ways. So here we are, chatting about Adam Rowe's Worlds Beyond Time, Astral Eyes' Spell Bound, Aaron A. Reed's 50 Years of Text Games, the two-volume Talking Miniatures from Shaggy Dog Publishing and the truly astounding Arik Roper retrospective, Vision of the Hawk. Call it a holiday gift guide - if you like our work, we bet you'll like theirs! * * * Worlds Beyond Time is available via Barnes & Noble (and Amazon, but ugh). Your best bet for getting Spell Bound is to follow Bibliomancers on Instagram - they regularly post stock and shop links in their stories. The offset printed edition of 50 Years of Text Games is sold out, but you can still get print-on-demand editions. The best bet for Talking Miniatures, in the US at least, is probably Amazon (sign). In the US, you can get Vision of the Hawk through MIT Press. In the UK, buy direct from Strange Attractor. * * * Stu's book, Monsters, Aliens, and Holes in the Ground is for sale now! Buy it!

This episode is in memoriam to my father, Thomas Edward Sisson, who passed from the finite game into the Infinite Game on September 12, 2023. Michael & I discuss mentors, living & dying, strange attractors & a beautiful life. Godspeed, Dad, godspeed.  

Join us for an insightful discussion with esteemed anthropologist Dr. Amy Hale, focusing on the historical usage and evolution of the term 'Celtic' and its intertwining with alternative spiritualities since the 17th century. In this video, Dr. Hale dissects the layers of 'Celtic', tracing its journey from a linguistic and ethnic identifier to a symbol often adopted within various spiritual paths. She explores how and why this ancient term has become a pivotal part of many alternative spiritual movements, particularly from the 17th century onwards. Through this academic lens, viewers will understand the historical shifts in the interpretation of 'Celtic' and its impact on contemporary spiritual and cultural landscapes. Dr. Hale's nuanced discussion emphasizes the importance of contextual understanding when engaging with this complex term. Ideal for scholars, students, and those interested in the intersections of history, culture, and spirituality, this video invites viewers to rethink their perceptions of 'Celtic' and its implications within alternative spiritual practices.

We explore the strange attractor of the off message of "post consumer branding" and how its attraction lies in the way it reveals our being sold is the way we cannot see the consequences of the totalising claim made on time when given as economic good.  

In August, 2022, JF and Phil flew to the UK to attend the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute (DISI) at the University of St. Andrews and the Supernormal Festival in Oxfordshire. In addition to recording two live shows (to be released in the coming weeks), they encountered billiant minds, novel ideas, and arresting works of art that opened new avenues for thought. It's these encounters that anchor this conversation, which branches off to touch ideas such as the elusive ideal of intersciplinarity, Hakim Bey's temporary autonomous zone, the legacy of the 20th-century counterculture, the fate of revolutionary movements, non--human intelligences, and the weirdness of human thought.

The American writer and thinker Victoria Nelson is justly revered by afficionados of the Weird for The Secret Life of Puppets and its follow-up Gothicka. Both are masterful explorations the supernatural as it subsists in the "sub-Zeitgeist" of the modern secular West. In 2021, Strange Attractor Press released Neighbor George, Nelson's first novel. In this episode, JF and Phil discuss this gothic anti-romance with a mind to seeing how it contributes to Nelson's overall project of acquainting us with the eldritch undercurrents of contemporary life.

This week we're discussing every album by Mercury Rev. Led by Jonathan Donahue and Grasshopper (with huge contributions by Dave Fridmann), Mercury Rev left their mark on indie rock with their 1998 album, Deserter's Songs. But they have so many other albums that are either insanely underrated or overlooked completely. Their friendship with the Flaming Lips explains the stylistic similarities between the two, but their songwriting stands on its own.Closing track: “Sudden Ray of Hope” from See You on the Other Side (1995)Spotify playlist on Mercury Revhttps://open.spotify.com/user/motherpuncherincPatreonhttps://www.patreon.com/everyalbumeverMerchhttps://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/Instagram:Mike @pandermonkeyAlex @motherpuncherTom Osman's stuff:Debut album on Bandcamp, Spotify, AppleSubstackInstagramTwitterFacebookMike's Picks:See You on the Other Side (1995) — Best Album, Personal FavoriteInner Autumn Outer Space (2013) — Worst AlbumThe Light in You (2015) — Least FavoriteAlex's Picks:All Is Dream (2001) — Best AlbumSee You on the Other Side (1995) — Personal FavoriteInner Autumn Outer Space (2013) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlbums we discussed this episode..Yerself Is Steam (1991)Boces (1993)See You on the Other Side (1995)Deserter's Songs (1998)All Is Dream (2001)The Secret Migration (2005)Snowflake Midnight (2008)Strange Attractor (2008)Inner Autumn Outer Space (2013)The Light in You (2015)Bobbie Gentry's The Delta Sweete Revisited (2019)

It's normal and healthy for us to try to process our experiences emotionally, but sometimes during that process we find ourselves getting stuck on the same painful memory, anxiety, or disturbing thought. This frustrating experience, known as rumination, is a common psychological challenge that is both discouraging and unhelpful.On this episode of Being Well, Dr. Rick and Forrest Hanson spell out what rumination is, where it comes from, and how it functions in the brain. They then explore what practices and strategies we can use to identify rumination when it comes up, and move through an obsessive thought compassionately and effectively.Watch the Episode: Prefer watching video?

What are the differences between crisis and chaos? Is a sudden bifurcation better than a gradual bifurcation? How might a "strange attractor" contribute to the sometimes long duration, and difficult-to-recognize, patterns in chaos? Doc will discuss these questions and read an excerpt pertaining to them from his book 'The Velocity of Information: Human Thinking During Chaotic Times.' WHAT IS CRISIS? The following excerpts are from pages 139-140 of the book The Velocity of Information: Human Thinking During Chaotic Times. “Crisis implies a decisive point in a dangerous situation with anticipation of an abrupt change to the condition, for better or for worse. [A] crisis is often of short duration and will have an identifiable turning point(s). It tends to scale in a predictable manner. People believe their own actions might resolve a crisis. This is a key distinction between crisis and chaos. While people believe that they can negotiate to resolve a crisis, the mindset when faced with chaos is to survive, or “wait-out” the condition. HARD OR SOFT BIFURCATIONS. A crisis may be characterized by a bifurcation, which is a parameter-dependent change in dynamical behavior. A useful distinction exists between hard (abrupt) and soft (gradual) bifurcations. Hard bifurcation: the ice on a lake slowly warms (temperature is the bifurcation parameter) and suddenly breaks, dropping you into the cold lake. Soft bifurcation: an ice cube (temperature is again the bifurcation parameter) once at a temperature greater than or equal to 32 degrees slowly melts into a glass of Scotch. A soft bifurcation is clearly preferable, particularly because its impacts are dispersed over time. STRANGE ATTRACTORS (Has Nothing To Do With Gravity). As mathematically defined, a crisis occurs with the appearance of a strange attractor. The word “attractor” has nothing to do with gravitation. As in dynamic systems, attractors provide a way to describe the asymptotic behavior of typical orbits. Operationally, this means that there is a dramatic change in the dynamical behavior of the system. The present disconnects from the past and the past behavior has little or no predictive value as the system navigates its way through a profoundly altered landscape. An undetected, racing comet with a 20,000 year orbit could be a strange attractor that alters life on earth. HYPERINFLATION AS A STRANGE ATTRACTOR. In a fiat money economy, sudden-onset hyperinflation might be characterized as a strange attractor resulting in extraordinary behaviors in the country's monetary system. For example, during the 1923 hyperinflation crisis of the Weimar Republic, “workers were often paid twice per day because prices rose so fast their wages were virtually worthless by lunchtime (1).” In addition, “[f]armers refused to take any form of paper money for their crops. The harvest of 1923 sat in farmers' warehouses while supermarkets in the cities were empty. Starvation and civil unrest loomed (2).” WHAT IS CHAOS? “Chaos is a state of disorder that is amorphous and without clear turning points. Chaos quickly or gradually settles into outcome basins or creates a new mean. Chaos describes a system that will develop in unpredictable ways and will not scale linearly. It exists on a continuum with degrees of absorption by systems. A state of chaos, due to a lack of, or impossibility of, a scripted response will usually, if not inevitably, spread. Chaos affects the global consciousness, even if only temporarily. The 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami near Japan was a chaos event that killed 15,899 people and caused the Fukushima nuclear energy plant disaster.

Buckminster Fuller once said, ”You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” If the current system is „Game A“, how do new organizational models for a "Game B“ world look like? What insights can we glean from experiments in the space of self-management? How would a truly integral, metamodern, holistic form of running a business look like? How can we make purpose the boss and decentralize power systematically? What role might the emergence of Web3 and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) play to create better incentive structures and solve global coordination problems? How can new organizational and business models outcompete the legacy system? With Hosts Tom Amarque & Dennis Wittrock and guests: Jim Rutt He is the host of the “Jim Rutt Show” and the former CEO of Network Solutions. The New York Times once referred to him as “the Internet's bad boy” due to his reputation for creative mischief. He sold Network Solutions at the peak of the Dot Com boom and then went into scientific research. Jim has been affiliated with the Santa Fe Institute since 2002, serving as Chairman from 2009 thru 2012. In a conversation with Jordan Hall he coined the term “Game B” that now galvanizes a global movement of changemakers. Thomas Thomison A seasoned entrepreneur and business builder, Thomas Thomison is a recognized leader, developer, and practitioner of self-organizing systems and methods. In 2007, he co-founded HolacracyOne, LLC, to develop and mature Holacracy® into what is now the gold-standard replacement for conventional management hierarchies. In 2015 he launched encode.org to further embed self-organization practices in legal, capital, and social structures. In 2019, encode.org launched PowerShift Capital LLC to re-invent sourcing and deploying capital for purposeful, self-organized, and power-shifted endeavors. And in 2020, encode.org launched PowerShift People, LLC to create a global community of interdependent agents working in purposeful, self-organized, and power-shifted systems. Marco Robledo Marco Robledo is the author of the book "3D Management, an integral theory for organizations in the vanguard of evolution", and advises on how to build more conscious, humane, efficacious, and responsible forms of enterprise. He is a Professor of Business and Director of the Master of Business Administration (MBA) at the University of the Balearics (UIB).

One of my favorite Detroit songwriters and people, Vern! He is absolutely unmistakable and this podcast is no different. Hear how Vern developed his indelible stage presence and how a schoolyard crime ring led him to playing Piedmont blues.

This episode of the End of Trauma introduces the idea that to be sustainable in right action, our biology needs specific support. Have you tried just about everything? Tired of all the things you've been told you have to do to feel better ? Here's an idea straight from biology— the best support is here and now: simple human pleasure. If we are to face the headwinds of a host of institutional ills and injustices, our empowerment must be rooted in how our biology wants to function. The End of Trauma offers a new vision of social engagement— that our action in the world can be fueled by a biology that has returned to its origins in states of curiosity, exploration and outright joy. These are our birthrights as humans. E.O. Wilson calls our nature, “biophilia" — we are lovers of life. Yet we are too often straying from the path of compassion because of lasting wounds not only in our emotions, but mostly in our nervous system. OI teaches how these wounds are not scars for a lifetime, but rather simple conditioning — learnings that are to be unlearned. It will take some time, and yes, hard work. But, the deceptively simple trajectory of the work is this: the job is enjoyment. Let's build from the ideas of “The Strange Attractor of Trauma” podcast last week, and give ourselves a break from the “What's Wrong Attention” and the negativity bias. Find out how we can easefully land again in our nature of compassion, and love of nature. New energy reserves for responsible and sustainable living await you.

In our second podcast, Organic Intelligence® founder Steven Hoskinson helps us rethink our psychology of trauma treatment. Meant to inform clinicians and non-clinicians alike, this information will help anybody dealing with trauma. First we will see how trauma is everywhere — and exactly how trauma keeps itself going over and over again. Trauma biology is addiction biology. 

It's the first week of April, so that must mean that it's time for the Two Guys with PhDs to look through the latest Previews catalog. This month, Andy Kunka is back for his first Previews show of 2016 -- where has the time gone? -- so Derek helps him to shake off the cobwebs and get down to deep solicitation-reading business.

It's apparently true: there is such a thing as The Comics Alternative bump and the success it can bring you!

On this episode of the interview show, Derek talks with Charles Soule about his most recent creator-own works, specifically Strange Attractors (Archaia) and the currently ongoing Letter 44 (Oni Press). They spend most of their time discussing the latter and the various narrative threads and subplots interwoven within the series. In their conversation, Charles tells Derek about the extent of his research for the title, his love of NASA history, the intrigue of writing political drama, and the ways in which his background in law helped give birth to series' premise.  They also discuss the contemporary rootedness of Letter 44 and the extent to which recent presidential history plays out in its storyline, albeit ramped up and taken to speculative extremes. Much of the conversation is also devoted to Strange Attractors, a book similar to Letter 44 with a high concept and a keen scientific bent. Charles explains how his interest in complexity theory and his love of New York City combine to create an unlikely sci-fi drama. But even though Derek is mostly interested in his non-mainstream work, he nonetheless asks Charles about his efforts in the DC and Marvel Universes -- e.g., his experiences writing Swamp Thing, Death of Wolverine, Superman/Wonder Woman, and She-Hulk -- how he balances the superhero narratives with his creator-owned work, and the ways he negotiates both franchise limitations and fanboy expectations. All in all, it's a fun interview, with listeners being able to hear about creative facets of Charles Soule that rarely surface in interviews.

Once again Andy and Derek delve into the pages of the latest Previews catalog, and there they find many wondrous things!  This month they note upcoming new series such as X, Jupiter Legacy, Miniature Jesus, Polarity, as well as a number of original graphic novels and collected editions, including Bloodhound from Dark Horse, the Solo Deluxe Edition and Jack Kirby's In the Days of the Mob from DC Comics, The Secret Service from Marvel, Strange Attractors from Archaia, The Property from Drawn and Quarterly, and Crater XV and Heck from Top Shelf.  They also bring up flaming poop and sticks on fire.
