Episode Description

Robert Owens selects 5 tracks to send into space on a cassette to teach aliens about life on earth.

Robert Owens is a house music DJ and singer working just as hard now as the start of his career.

As a self-described 'club kid', his name is synonymous with the birth and formation of the early 'golden era' underground Chicago house music scene. Forming Fingers Inc. with Ron Wilson and Larry Heard in the mid-1980s, the group played a part in defining the genre.

We got into finding solace in gospel choirs despite a difficult relationship with religion, living in London and seeing Princess Diana, looking to find The One on the dancefloor, falling out and making up with Frankie Knuckles and David Morales, and why kindness is key.

I'll Be Your Friend - Robert Owens

Joe Smooth - Promised Land

Risqué III (K’Alexi Shelby) - Essence Of A Dream

Dov Kandel has spent the better part of two decades exposing vast government conspiracies and exploring unsettling paranormal phenomena on his popular, late-night talk radio program, KANDEL AGAINST THE DARK. After interviewing thousands of callers and guests, he’s certain he’s heard it all. His next guest will prove him wrong.Author and investigator Orson Libretti has joined Dov for an unprecedented two-night discussion to promote his new novel, CONSUMMATION. It is an apocalyptic tale of cosmic horror. But for Orson, this is no ordinary book tour. Defying his publisher’s demands that the book be marketed as fiction, he insists that it is based on actual events — a cataclysmic chain reaction that annihilated a parallel universe.A questionable claim, to be sure, if he didn’t have the tapes to prove it.Content Warning: This series includes content that may be disturbi Explicit Cosmic Love with Madam Xandra Topless Robot It began like any other day on Pleasure Sphere 64, the hottest vacation spot in the galaxy.Madam Xandra, sex-positive host of the popular advice show Cosmic Love, is right in the middle of answering a relationship question when she's rudely interrupted by a terrorist invasion. Armed only with a laser dildo and her best leather boots, Xandra is hardly the ideal choice to defeat an army of terrorists. Worse still, the only person who can help her is alien gladiator Dok Bloodnikov, who has some serious hangups about sex.Can Dok and Xandra defeat the terrorists and save the station?

I wanted to continue my journalistic work into the unseen or strange world of ancient civilizations, otherworldly beings, spirituality, and the paranormal. Every podcast, I have a new guest that joins at the Cantina and is an expert in any of these areas. Let's face it, we need an intervention to figure out what is going on beyond the veil. Join us for Cosmic Intervention. It's a new twist, shaken, not stirred, on the same otherworldly stories you have been hearing for years.
