Introduction - WTF Just Happened?!

Introduction - WTF Just Happened?!

Welcome to my podcast WTF Just Happened?! All about grief and the evidence of the afterlife with none of the woo. Listen for conversations with normal people about weird shit. To see all podcast episodes, where to listen and more details, click here. A couple of years ago my dad died and I was shattered. Being raised an atheist, I assumed anything like an afterlife was nothing more than wishful thinking. However, I took a shot in the dark and decided to explore if there was any valid evidence that we could survive death in some form. Something that didn't require belief. While I expected to find nothing, I was astounded by what I found. There were rational scientists, researchers, doctors (and no not Dr Oz) who were studying all sorts of “not normal” things such as mediums, Near Death Experiences, and kids who remembered past lives. I assumed I was somehow not seeing the "catch" and decided to see for myself. I met mediums, researchers, parapsychologists and more. While I saw a lot of nonsense and fraud, I also met a select group of people who seemed to defy the laws of the universe. And that's what this podcast is about... Me talking with the many people who have helped me change my mind - some are researchers, some are mediums, and some are just regular people who have had really weird experiences. I still consider myself an atheist and I still don’t consider myself a spiritual person - I am an evidential person. I hope that you will listen to what I and the people who come on here have to say with curiosity and an open mind. You don't have to draw any conclusions. You don't even need to believe anything said. But at least consider what I and the people who come on here have to say. And I hope you get to have many of your own WTF Just Happened?! laws of the universe defying moments too. Enjoy!
