The Annual Halloween Podcast
I almost missed making a podcast to release on Halloween! But I did it just in the nick of time. In this episode, I talk about Third Man Syndrome based on a Reddit post and relay the intel I'm getting on some posts. The thread itself:...
-
Who's Doing the Haunting?
It's Halloween and I didn't realize I missed making an episode last year, so boo me. I discovered this fact after I did the podcast, so future me found out what past me didn't know. Some time ago, Linda had a work trip and stayed at a location that was supposedly haunted. What she found was...

The Bickerson's or How Death Doesn't Change Everything
Relationships involve the pairing of two people who share the same space throughout the course of their lives. When something in that space breaks, it needs fixing, and it's not always easy to get fixed. Both partners have their opinions about how to fix something, and sometimes one partner has...

I Went There or A Podcast in Which I Was Kind of Lazy and Read out a Reddit Post
I caught this post on the Paranormal subReddit at the beginning of October and felt there was some good material to talk about. I know it's a bit lazy to read off a Reddit post for yucks, but I figured I'd give it a swirl to let people what's behind the one-way mirror that is our existence and...
-
The Life After Death Show With Ken
In this episode, I let Ken out of the box to talk about what his life is like after death. Most of the podcast is me relaying what he has to say about the generalities that come with not having a dense physical body and daily life. He rides his hobby horse in some areas, but I just let him go for...
-
Updating the About Me, the Practical Medium
I was looking through the back catalog and realized it's been over 3 years since I started the podcast. The time felt right to update the original first episode. The original is staying up for various reasons, including giving listeners the opportunity to compare if they feel like it. Some things...

When We Convince Ourselves of a Reality Compared to Being a Medium
This is a bit of an open-ended topic about how the brain can create a reality out of something it doesn't want to deal with versus being a medium and dealing with a reality that doesn't mesh with the physical world in a way that makes sense. As always, plenty of self-deprecation and my own...

Why We Do What We Do
I was listening to a favorite artist of mine recently and something that struck me long ago about his live performances hit me so hard that I felt the need to make a podcast about it. The artist? Stevie Ray Vaughan. He lived a short but fast life full of guitar hero glory, and I realized why he…

A Medium Walks Into a Metaphysical Convention
And wasn't impressed. In this episode, I talk about my experience at a metaphysical convention and my overall impressions. I also have a small bit of mental exhaust for the second half of the episode covering some of the stuff that's gone down since I last recorded. I hadn't realized it was so…

Let's Talk About Stones (but not about getting stoned)
I finally got around to recording this topic as I've been promising for a while. I talk about how stones can give a bit of a boost to your life, and what to expect from their abilities and properties. Are they magical and capable of making your life awesome? No, but they can make a difference…

Mental Exhaust 5(?) I've lost track
I cover a couple of topics that were at the front of my lobes. One was watching the Twitch streamer PayMoneyWubby do a live ghost hunt (snore), and a story of how I got jumped by an angry dead person and why it's relevant. Also, mature warning in that I let fly on the salty language a bit.…

What Goes on Behind the Scenes at Haunted Locations
It's time for another Halloween-related episode! In this podcast, I talk about why certain places are haunted, how they get that way, and the psyche of the people that stick around and haunt these places. Plus, bonus story about Ken's increased strength at the end. Addendum to the story about Ken...
-
It's Been a While or an Update on Where I've Been
Technical and mental difficulties caused me to take a break from making the podcast for a lot longer than I expected. I finally managed to right my ship, catch a break, get my wind back, and put my brain in gear to do a podcast. In this episode, I talk about my lack of bandwidth due to life's...
-
The Karma Episode! With a Short Explanation of Where I've Been
I finally, FINALLY got a full episode put together after months of barely having enough time for this side of my life. In this episode, I talk about karma, how it works, and how it doesn't. Is it real? Yes, but it's a simple law of energy, not a burden. Take heart, dear listener, because karma...
-
Still Here and Checking In
Until recently, I've had no spare energy to connect and do a deep dive on a particular topic. I explain why in this brief episode and how pain affects sensitivity. Also, fart joke warning at the end for those who don't like that humor. In the infamous words of the Terminator, "Ah'll be bak."
-
Baggage and How It Gets in the Way of Connecting to Other
In this episode, I discuss how our own personal baggage can get in the way of connecting to people we love. Anyone who wants to make the effort to reconnect to their loved ones who have passed over. Talking to the dead isn't exclusive to mediums. However, mediums get their egos out of the way so...
-
A Medium Talks About Religion
I've alluded to religion in the past along with bits and pieces of my point of view on the topic. I decided to knuckle down and lay out where I come from when I talk about religion. A majority of stuff is my own personal opinion and my own experience with religion, but I do touch on the "what's…

Mental Exhaust Episode 4
I had every intent to do a topical podcast. Until, that is, a series of events pulled my head away from the topic. I'll get to it in the next episode, I promise. There was a strong feeling I should take the opportunity to blow off steam and aggravations that have been building with regards to my...
-
Free Will
In this episode, I talk about free will and how it's a universal truth whether you're physical or not. I talk about how it plays a role in our lives, the political landscape up until recently, why people need to remember it's theirs to use, and how giving up a little bit of one's own free will...
-
Does Hell Exist? A Lone Medium's Take on the Subject
In this episode, I'm finally getting around to fulfilling this topic request. I talk about the concept of hell and how it isn't, or is it? a thing. I discuss my experience with how the thought of hell keeps people from crossing over, why it's not as advertised, and how people choose to punish...
-
Mental Exhaust Episode 3.5 and a Relationship Check-In (Some Mature Conversation)
I figured it was a good time to talk about how the relationship between Ken and I has evolved, how we work together as a team, and how we handle the differences between our physical states. But before I go into that, I talk about the current timeline, the energy tide changing, and promise to get…
more -
Near Death Experiences: What Are They and Why Do They Happen?
I finally got around to putting together an episode about near death experiences (NDE). This is an overview of what happens a la the crossing over episode, but I plan to come back to get more in-depth on some of the aspects. I also share what Ken went through when he died on the table the first...
-
Mental Exhaust Episode 3
In this episode, I blow off some thoughts about James Randi and Alex Trebek and talk about where I've been. Never in my life have I been so wrung out in terms of having enough energy to make it through a day. I envy people like Adam the Woo who have the energy to create a daily vlog. Hopefully…

Two Mediums Talk About Halloween
In this way, way long overdue podcast, Linda and I talk about Halloween. We dig into the various aspects, how it's not a big deal in her neck of the woods and why, how she feels about it, and a funny story about her daughter. I also quiz her on what kind of intel she gets from the other side…
more -
A Primer on Crossing Over
An overview of crossing over, what it is, and why not everyone wants to cross over right away. Sometimes people are asked to stay back, sometimes people don't want to be separated from family and life, and sometimes it's difficult to leave behind addictions. Ken likes to explore the darker side…
more -
Mental Exhaust Episode 2
Masochism. I forgot masochism. This is a bit of an adult stream if you hadn't figured it out based on my opening sentence. This episode is another installation of my mental exhaust series where I just let fly on stuff. I explain the role autism plays in my life, how these podcasts are 90% Ken…

Guardians and Guides: Who Are They, What do They do for Us, and What Life is Like with Ken as a Guardian
A listener asked me to talk about guardians/guides and I'm happy to oblige! This is more of a Cliff notes version of who they are in relation to us, but I go over how to connect with them and what might or might not happen when you try. As an aside, I edited out about 8 minutes of verbal...
-
When the Dead Dial the Phone and Connect With the Living
Once upon a time, a police officer posted on r/Paranormal about an abandoned house dialing 911. I chimed in with my .02 and relayed what I was picking up. I didn't get too in-depth with my posts because I was more concerned with telling OP what was coming through. I figured I'd read through the...
-
Mental Exhaust Episode 1
I've decided it's time to get a little more conversational with podcasts and lay out what's on my mind, tell stories that didn't get into a previous podcast but wanted to get out into the world, and examine whatever's on my mind. I'll still do my standard format of one topic per podcast, but this...
-
Pets and the Afterlife
This is a hard topic for me to cover, but I felt it was worth doing to help give an insight as to what happens. There's a lot to unpick with what happens to pets after death which makes this podcast a glimpse as opposed to an explanation of what their lives are like after they leave their bodies.…

A Filler Episode Until I Can Record a Full Length Episode
I have been a hot mess in term of having spare time and dealing with physical stress to do a full podcast. Instead of trying to record a full episode and connecting with Ken to help fill in the blanks, I took the opportunity to give some small updates, correct something on the EVP podcast, and...
-
Let's Talk About EVP!
This time around, I give an overview of EVP, or electronic voice phenomenon. What they are, Ken's explanation of how they work, how you can do it yourself, and how to listen for editing or fakery. I also pass along Ken's opinion of how the dictionary box works. I think I deleted about 4 minutes…

Paranormal Investigations Part 2 and Tying Up Loose Ends
In the previous episode, I kept dipping out into side topics that I felt needed more explanation and filling out. I finish my thoughts on paranormal investigators and explain why the living don't need to tolerate negative dead people living with them. I apologize for the big jump cut about…

How a Medium Experiences Grief and Handling the Connection to Someone Who's Just Passed
I had a family member pass away a couple of days prior to this episode. I decided to record my thoughts and feelings while it was still fresh in my mind. I wasn't close to this family member, but I still experience some grief at the passing of someone I know. His passing wasn't unexpected, it…

Thoughts on Paranormal Investigations and Their Role in the Field Part 1
A simple question started a big conversation between Ken and I. Nothing new there -- when he was alive, we'd get into these deep thinking conversations all the time. This time it happened to start with me asking "why do I never feel you as a cold spot?" and it devolved from there into paranormal...
-
The Basics of Seeing Loved Ones in Your Dreams (plus explaining where I've been)
I thought I'd have time to edit this one, but if I, like Jim Croce wished, could put time in a bottle, I would. I'm throwing this one out in its unedited state in the interests of getting back into the rhythm of making content. In this episode, I talk about the computer issues that kept me away...
-
I'm Back From Outer Space
Or computer purgatory. Outer space sounds sexier, though. Due to a major technological issue, I was unable to do a regularly scheduled podcast. The issue is fixed, I have full confidence that my new and improved computer will hold up to the rigors I put it through, and enable me to get back into...
-
Getting Rid of an Unwanted Guest
There's nothing quite like coming to the realization that someone you thought of as a friend turns out to be a toxic mess who's intent on keeping their hooks in you. In this episode, I discuss my friendship with Tony and why I needed to get him out of my life. He decided my feelings don't matter...
-
When the Dead Come to Take the Living Home
The internet is full of stories of medical professionals who have patients that talk about deceased family members coming to visit. That's when the medical professional picks up the phone and calls in family members to say goodbye. I try to focus on the living and the dying's perception of these...
-
Junk Science is Junk Science No Matter Where It Comes From
Earlier this week, I came across a post from a set of names that seemingly had a good amount of authority at one point. Somewhere along the line, someone grabbed that wheel and turned it sharply in a different direction. This post was espousing some really bad science and it came from the other...
-
Two Mediums Talking About Random Stuff (Mature Warning)
As I mentioned in the last podcast, I'd have a conversation with my medium friend, Linda, and see where it went. I edited to minimize pauses and get rid of filler that didn't do much for the conversation. She has a dog who got to barking during the conversation, so I paused and edited it out in...
-
Astral Travel and How It's Easier Than You Think
In this episode, I butcher your ears with a short rendition of a Beatles tune as part of my talk on astral travel. Guys, I think quarantine is getting to me. Uh. Oh. In all seriousness, I talk about my own experience, how you can do it in the comfort of your own home, and do we astral travel in...
-
Scraping the Surface of the Physics Between Us and Them
And after all, we're only ordinary men. So sayeth Pink Floyd. In this episode, I take a look at the basic physics of our existence and how we continue to persist after we leave our bodies. I'll probably re-do this at some point and put in more structure. This is mainly me relaying what I'm being...
-
Looking for the Missing and the Dead as a Medium
In this episode, I talk about the inherent issues with locating the missing or the dead as a psychic medium, and the experience I had that said this is not for me. I had to make a decision that still doesn't sit right with me to this day. Questions? Comments? Email me at:...
-
A Look at The Spirits Book and Some of the Main Points
Psychic mediums have a tendency to share similar concepts and use similar descriptions about what it's like on the other side, but have never met. Thanks to a conversation I had on Reddit, I was pointed to The Spirits Book, the book that kicked off Spiritism/Spiritualism. I go through the…
more -
Zeitgeist and Hat and Shadowmen
I probably repeat myself way too much in order to get the point across in this episode. However, I talk about the current events with coronavirus and talk about what hatmen and shadowmen really are. As Douglas Adams says "don't panic" whenever you run into one of these entities. They're there to...
-
The Rambling Medium or a Check-In With My Progression
I wish I could make a pun out of the refrain from Ramblin' Man from the Allman Bros., but "Lord I was born a ramblin' medium" doesn't play out. In this episode, I go freestyle and talk about what's on my mind including the corona virus, why I don't engage in future telling, and how my…
more -
The Ever-Present Disconnect Between the Living and the Dead
In this episode, I talk about the disconnect the living have with the dead and what, if anything, can be done about it. All too often people make assumptions about what's going on in a haunted location, or that everything out there is just waiting for an opportunity to attack the innocent. It's...
-
Taking a Look at the Life Contract: What it Is and What it Isn't
You may or may not have heard of the concept of the life contract. Sometimes it's called a soul contract because you agree to connect with other souls during your lifetime in a contract. The truth is, the words don't really address what the contract really is: something that's flexible, helps…

When Parents and Children Die Together (and couples)
In this episode, I do as I promised and talk about why parents and children die together or within a period of time of each other. I also got reminded of the passing of Judith Leiber and her husband. Look for the New York Times obituary for her passing for a wonderful read. Meanwhile, I feel like…
