IV & V of the ASFA series. We'll be getting red-in-the-face & across a brand new, surprise EP sometime in the next few days... A momentary interlude from our ongoing ASFA & Nazi Occultism series*** Subscribe to: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping Hey there, Theta Chi & Masonic Templar MK-ULTRA Dr's class of 1926! Welcome back to campus. It's Hypno Harvard Pledge Week. Time for a mini-dive into the formation of the Harvard Psychology Clinic & the lives of some of the MKULTRA & intel-affiliated doctors that graced its halls w/ their hypnosuggestive whispers & scraped the brains of "shell shocked" WWI veterans. We're talking Herr Doctors Estabrooks, Murray, Langer, Beecher, Morton Prince, Orne, Cameron, Milton Erickson, etc. & a veritable sanitarium of hypnotherapists & mad MK scientists who I don't have the time to list this second. We're back in MasSUSchusetts for a second before we take that transatlantic Hindenburg zeppelin flight (waft? float?) and touch down in Babylon Babelsberg Berlin. A Lowell-Lawrence makes an appearance in this one; as does Alfred North Whitehead.  We spend half our time w/ Murray, his work in agent profiling for the OSS & British Intelligence, his lover's sexually-fraught mentor-mentee relationship w/ Carl Jung, Murray's work w/ Walter Langer, with whom he'd write the psychoanalytical report on Hitler at Wild Bill Donovan's behest. There's more Wild Bill in this one—+ good old J. Edgar Hoover! You'll hear the voice of Admiral & CIA Director Stansfield Turner from the MKULTRA hearings briefly, as well as numerous clips from the 1970s TV documentary "Mission Mind Control". We spend the meat of the EP on George H. Estabrooks, his 1943 text "Hypnotism", his role in formulating MK & super courier procedures, his Cardinal Mindszenty propaganda, the fact that he & Hitler both suffered gas attacks in Ypres (Belgium), the fact he was likely hypnotized after said disastrous experience on the Western Front, his 33° wedding in Rome, & his many, many sus scientific, military, & academic connections. We break it all down, showing how he began consulting w/ MID, the War Dep't, & the OSS years & years before BLUEBIRD, ARTICHOKE, or MKULTRA came in to being... Perfectly encapsulating my argument that WWI hypnotherapy prefigured modern American mind control.  Oh yeah, and like basically every frickin' MK Dr. is a Harvard Crimson.  Songs:  | The Kinks - "Brainwashed" |  | Michael Abels - "Hypnosis" (Get Out OST) |  | Mission of Burma - "Learn How" |  Clips from the previously mentioned ABC doc "Mission Mind Control", as well as the intro to an interview w/ Dr. Henry Murray

This week on Observational Banter I talk about the last week of YSU classes, who let the dogs out, the trip to Chicago, being a national fugitive, Theta Chi, and so much more! Make sure to share with your friends. Music: Bensound.com

You know, I usually record these conversations from my fancy podcast studio/office in downtown Seattle, but this time I actually called our guest, Joel McHale, from my home on Mercer Island—a fitting venue for our conversation because Joel also happens to hail from this very same Seattle suburb. Now, as many of you probably know, Joel has gone on to have a very successful acting career in Hollywood. He's largely known for his sarcastic pop culture commentary on The Soup or his snarky self-centered character Jeff Winger in the critically acclaimed series Community. But long before his face ever broadcast through the glowing pixels of your television screen, Joel had a childhood that wasn't too far removed from my own. We both played sports through high school and college and happened to know a lot of the same people. Joel, like me, even went to the University of Washington. Now that may be where the similarities end, but while his college experience was tainted by the unorthodox hazing rituals of the rowing team and a questionable sense of brotherhood at the Theta Chi fraternity, Joel always knew that his real family waited for him on stage. Since the seventh grade he loved the theater and looked for every opportunity to meet with like-minded adolescent thespians who inspired and challenged each other creatively. Determined to make a career out of this passion, Joel completed a Master of Fine Arts at the University of Washington and figured that the best place to test out his merits was the entertainment mecca, Los Angeles. And while it took him a few years to get going, Joel is a hustler. Saying yes to everything offered, he's shown up in television shows and movies in nearly every genre. From bit parts in blockbuster films like Spider Man or starring in the dark romantic comedy Happily, to sitcoms like Will & Grace and the sci-fi phenomenon The X-Files. But despite the breadth of his impressive IMDb page, Joel still worries that each job is bound to be his last. Well Joel, from all of us on the outside, I think you can relax. It seems like you're doing alright. After my conversation with Joel, you'll hear my chat with a relatively new country music artist by the name of Austin Burke. But it's not actually Austin's music that brings him to The Nordy Pod. He's here as a customer to share a story which took place at our Rack store in Scottsdale, Arizona. The experience moved him so much that he pulled out his phone and started recording as it was happening. He then posted the video for his nearly one million followers on social media. It got shared around enough that we eventually caught wind and loved the story so much that we called him up, and the Nordstrom employees who made Austin's visit so memorable. Thanks for tuning in to episode 32. We hope you enjoy it! Did you know that YOU can be on The Nordy Pod? This show isn't just a one-way conversation. We want to hear about what Nordstrom looks like through your eyes. Share your Nordstrom experience, good or bad, by giving us a call and leaving a voicemail at: 206.594.0526, or send an email to nordypodcast@nordstrom.com to be a part of the conversation!

We have with us Dan Faill, who was born and raised in Wilmington, North Carolina, where he attended the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. There he became a founding father of Theta Chi Fraternity. After college, he traveled for Theta Chi as a consultant and ended up attending grad school at the University of the Pacific.

Look up “homie” on google images, and you will see a picture of my guest today, August Fritz. August is on the program and my man came in with a great energy and was so awesome to converse with. Seriously, after getting to know this bright young man some more, I was impressed with how genuine and easy-going he was. The man is talented, has a lot of cool ideas, and his stories about college and beyond are extremely interesting. From talking about his passion for music production, “the covid semester”, working as a DJ at various parties, and his Glo-up. I was really happy he came on to talk with me today.

Let me tell you something… bright young man is an understatement for the great Stephen Kazalunas, but yet, he PERFECTLY embodies that role. When he said he would come on the show, I was thrilled and after speaking with him, I realized how incredible this man is. Whether as an engineer or as a content creator (I hope he has a podcast someday), Stephen is going to be a hall of famer at anything he does. With great stories, opinions, and incredible vibes, my buddy Kaz has created one of the most insightful appearances yet. This is a great show! We talk about Fantasy football, Sports Fandoms, Why baseball needs to be cool again, and the current state of ESPN and all Sports Media. We also talk about Barstool, how its actually a good sports media outlet, a more honest chat about being in a fraternity and the life lessons we learned in greek life. We also talk about BEER, AMBITION, and much, much more… (4:10) - How is the great Stephen Kazalunas doing as we begin the show? (5:24) - FANTASY FOOTBALL.
