DEEP DIVE - On this episode we revisit an old topic and give it a new perspective; a classic conspiracy and one that still splits conspiracy theorists down the middle when it comes to its voracity, the players involved and the legitimacy of their claims. With huge names in conspiracy come even grander tales of time travel, body swapping, psychic powers and more as this time we revisit The Montauk Project Al Beilek, Preston Nicholls and Duncan Cameron; the veritable three amigos of contemporary conspiracy lore, all shine in this story of mind control stations, abducted gifted children, underground bases and conjured monsters. At Montauk, Long Island at a spot called Camp Hero lies a radar array that when utilised in the correct manner can send out orgone energy from gifted kids to manipulate the minds of the masses.Sounding like Stranger Things? Yeah thats because it a big inspiration and the story gets even crazier from there; with Al Beilek darting back and forth across the sacred timeline and Duncan Cameron talking about conjuring a demogorgon from an alien tech mind chair! Madness, but great craic. We dove deep on this one and revisit older topics like The Philadelphia Experiment, to give a full context on the events surrounding The Montauk Project_____________________Joining me on this episode are Neil Rochford and Eamonn O'Neill. You can find Neil here @NeilRochford on Twitter and you can buy his Montauk Project adjacent paranormal crime thriller 'The Blue Ridge Project' here http://neiltr.com/gravity-landing/the-blue-ridge-project/ and Im sure if you gave him a follow and a DM there could be a deal done for the price of it :)You can find Eamonn over at his own podcast called "Monster Fuzz" where he and Rob chop it up over monsters, ghosts, ghoulies and all manner of strange stuff!

TRUE CRIME - On this episode Tom O Mahony joins me to chat about one sick pup; known as the Kindly Killer and one of the creepiest the UK can produce, Dennis Nilsen; a former policeman and army private, murdered an unknown amount of young men in his London homes in the 70s and 80s. Nilsen is thought to have killed up to twenty homeless and homosexual men after luring them to his various apartments, killing them and burying the bodies under floorboards.It was also discovered that Dennis Nilsen was partially a cannibal and he kept the dead bodies of his victims as 'company'. Nilsen is renowned for being one of the weirdest killers on any true crime list because his peccadillo was talcing the dead men and watching TV with them, and then eventually boiling their bodies and flushing them down the toilet; which became his eventual undoing.The reason we know so much about Nilsen, his methods and his motivation is because he was more than forthcoming with the information in interviews after his arrest. How much of this can be believed is up to you; but the detail he goes into is reminiscent of other famous murderers. Dennis Nilsen is portrayed by David Tennant in the TV series 'Des' where a lot of these details went into the production._____________________Joining me on this show is comedian, actor and podcaster Tom O'Mahony.

TRUE CRIME - On this episode we talk about Americas first female serial killer and one of the most tragic stories of abuse and poverty you can imagine; this is Aileen Wournos. From the most dysfunctional and abusive upbringing, Aileen dragged herself out of her hometown and hitch hiked across America, partaking in loads of anti social behaviour; arrests; crimes and selling her body along the way. Aileen's behaviour escalated and she began to take some sort of deadly revenge against the men who abused her and began killing her clients. She began a seemingly loving relationship with a woman and the cycle of murder, larceny, and fraud started in earnest. This is a story of someone who fell into a life that they couldnt escape and it eventually swallowed them entirely! Arrested, tried and eventually executed Aileen Wournos is a harrowing tale of a wretched unfortunate soul who ended up being documented by film makers and immortalised as a tragic case of inescapable circumstance. We talk about this; what drove her to these crimes; her history and the proceedings of her case; and the sociological theories behind someone in her unenviable position. ________________________Joining me on this episode is comedian and academic in sociology Grainne McKeever and you can find her online here http://www.twitter.com/grainnemckeever and you can watch her Ted Talk here https://youtu.be/g91vop8aSik________________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.

DEEP DIVE - On this episode we discuss arguably the most famous musician to have ever lived; a man who not only pioneered a music but a movement and while preaching a message of peace through his songs, was repeatedly violently attacked and tragically died before his time; Bob Marley.From a meagre start in the streets of Trenchtown, Jamaica to the dizzy heights of international super stardom, Bob Marley wanted to do more than just sing songs and make money. His mission was to heal through music, to heal what hurts the soul and to heal a broken system that was the cause of the suffering of so many. In this endeavour he made some powerful friends and equally powerful enemies and attempts on his life caused him to have to leave Jamaica. Bob Marley's music and meaning still endure today, as moving and poignant as it ever was. His death, however tragic and untimely, has also been alleged to have been a further plot to silence his powerful voice. ________________________Joining me on this episode are Edwin Sammon and Emmet Quinn.

TRUE CRIME - On this episode we go all the way back to the 16th century to chat about a real sick puppy; The Werewolf of Bedburg, Peter Stumpp. An occult document details the story of Peter Stumpp and his despicable misdeeds such as killing and eating women and children and loads of other depraved animalistic satanic stuff.Stumpp apparently made a deal with the devil for the enviable power to turn into a wolf man at will and commit these atrocities. He was found guilty and put on trial; but we discuss the legitimacy of these legal proceedings and whether this was a hysterical monster manifestation to temporarily quell the tsunami of spiritual suspicion in Germany at the time.________________________Joining me on this episode is actor and comedian Tony Cantwell who has multiple podcasts on the go including 'Tony Cantwell's HitShow' and the cryptozoological comedy podcast 'Sexy Beasts'.

Comedian Betsy Speer joins me to chat about Uncle Joey and his misadventures with the children of his neighbours in Washington State and beyond. A lesser known killer, as murderer charts go; his story is one of manipulation, coercion, and deceit using the crutch of decorum and public decency as his shield against his despicable crimes. _______________________Joining me is comedian Betsy Speer and you can follow Betsy on all social media @BetsySpeerComedy and she runs a comedy night live stream on YouTube every Wednesday called Curtain Call Comedy which you can find here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSBQdwGMQZ028I1JlXfLPbg_______________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.
