Gamma Ray Bursts REALLY Hurt
This is an odd episode. First, in the TTT world, it is short. Second, it was spawned by an email I received that caused me to rethink some things. Third, Boudreaux steps outside of his normal snarky persona to wax philosophic for a few minutes. The video is getting better! It's actually quite a…

This is the first TTT episode in quite a while. This is Vic Hermanson, and I'm looking to make the flow of shows more reliable. This episode is about an important idea: that the entire universe is built upon a substrate, or a foundation, or substrate of information. I'm presenting an extended...

Practical Cannibalism for Fun and Profit
This is episode 141 of Trailer Trash Terrors. It's all about Cannibalism...which is a broader and more fascinating topic than I ever imagined.

-
The Spark of God
TTT is back on the air, with a show that has what is probably the simplest title that Vic Hermanson has ever used. Have you heard the term, "Spark of God"? This episode delves deep into that idea with original fiction, discussion of weighing the soul, the genuine spark that occurs at conception,...

The Good, The Bad, and the Paranormal Rundown
I screwed up. I used a section of a Pink Floyd song that I thought fell under the protection of fair use. Spotify disagreed, so I had to replace 22.7 seconds of "Keep Talking." So,I've fixed it with a cool little composition out of Smart Sound. What's the show about? Hey, it's a Rundown from the...
-
We are made of Stories, But Our Quantum Tubule Memory is Imperfect

Gef: Foe, Faith and Truth Bring Confusion to the Isle of Man
Episode 131 of Trailer trash Terror delves into the movie "Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose."
