The Skeptic Metaphysicians: Changing Their World View and the Most Astounding and Evidential of the Metaphysical. Episode 53
Will and Karen, are the husband and wife hosts of the award-winning podcast The Skeptic Metaphysicians. Will is more of the skeptic, and Karen is more of the believer, but both are fascinated and have their world views challenged, as they explore "metaphysics." By talking to psychic mediums, channelers, astral projectors, near-death experiencers, energy healers - and all sorts of fascinating people who explore this non-material world, both have gotten to learn about things they had never thought possible. In this episode with fellow podcasters who are fascinated by the same topics, Karen and Will discuss some of the phenomena they have learned about that most blew their mind, how Will came to change his mind about the "spiritual" and why Karen always thought there was more than materialism. They share some of their most evidential "what the fucks," what they think of an afterlife, how have their lives changed since delving into this world of the "inexplicable," and more.

"Atheists in the Afterlife: Eight Paths to Life After Death Without God," Author Sea Kimbrell Episode 47
Consciousness can be created by a brain and there could still be an afterlife. How could that work? Sea Kimbrell has a JD and a PhD in biology, and is a former Professor of Biology. He is author of "Atheists in the Afterlife: Eight Paths to Life After Death Without God." As an atheist from a secular family he always wondered what could happen after death. Using his knowledge as a scientist, he realized there ARE ways we can survive death that has nothing to do with god, heaven, or religion.Full notes on: "Atheists in the Afterlife: Eight Paths to Life After Death Without God," Author Sea Kimbrell Follow Sea Kimbrell: Amazon | Medium Newsletter | Website Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/wtf-just-happened-all-about-the-afterlife-no-woo/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Blinded, Peer Reviewed Scientific Studies on Psychic Mediums with Dr. Julie Beischel, Cofounder and Director of Research at the Windbridge Research Center and the Windbridge Institute, LLC. Episode 46
What happens when serious scientific protocols and testing methods are applied to psychic mediums? Can they get accurate information? Is this strong evidence that we actually survive badly death?Guest:Julie Beischel, PhD, Cofounder and Director of Research at the Windbridge Research Center and the Windbridge Institute, LLCFull notes on: Blinded, Peer Reviewed Scientific Studies on Psychic Mediums with Dr. Julie Beischel, Cofounder of The Windbridge InstituteDr. Julie Beischel is cofounder of the Windbridge Institute (Normalize, Optimize, Utilize Psi) and the Windbridge Research Center (studying dying, death, and what comes next), along with her husband Mark Boccuzzi. She is also Director of Research at the Windbridge Research Center.Dr. Beischel received her PhD in Pharmacology and Toxicology with a minor in Microbiology and Immunology from the University of Arizona. She then took her training as a scientist to apply the scientific method to study psychic mediums. Windbridge and the research team have used tight protocols to conduct up to quintuple-blinded, peer-reviewed studies on psychic-mediums. These studies had astounding results. When you eliminate all opportunities for mediums to cheat (such as giving cold-readings or hot-readings) a portion of mediums can get highly accurate information under these tight controls.The evidence and data of Windbridge strongly points in the direction, that yes, we and our loved ones actually do survive bodily death..Follow Windbridge + Dr. Julie Beischel: Windbridge Institute | Windbridge Research Center | Dr. Julie BeischelLink to all books and "Guidance for Grief Card Deck" by Dr. Julie Beischel- Guidance for Grief Card Deck- Love and the Afterlife: How to Stay Connected to Your Human and Animal Loved Ones- Among Medium: A Scientist’s Quest for Answers- From the Mouths of Mediums Vol. 1: Experiencing Communication- Meaningful Messages: Making the Most of Your Mediumship ReadingGet the book - WTF Just Happened?!: A sciencey-skeptic explores grief, healing, and evidence of an afterlife.
