The Mystery of the Hollow Earth On this Podcast we set out to explore the mercurial mystery of the Hollow Earth. The tantalizing theory that the core of our home planet houses a cavernous realm existing right under our feet. A savage land of prehistoric plants and animals, and maybe even a hyper advanced civilization of extra or primary terrestrials. Every religion and culture of human kind has had tales of other world's existing within the planet. From ancient Nordic,...

Zecharia Sitchin On this Podcast we look at the life and works of Zecharia Sitchin. Sometimes amateur and sometimes professional author, investigator, anthropologist and historian.

Nibiru and the Anunnaki On this Podcast we gaze skyward at the fervent and continuing rumors of a 10th Planet and the alien species that reside there, Nibiru and the Anunnaki. A secret world, an undiscovered member of our own solar system that orbits far out away from our celestial family of planets. But the theories also suggest it is the home of an ancient race of aliens. A race which through genetic manipulation and historical and religious lore are...

As mentioned in our D.U.M.Bs in Dulce: The Ballad of Phil Schneider episode. Derinkuyu is the deepest known underground settlement in the world. Discovered in the Cappadocia region in central Anatolia, Turkey in 1963 it was expanded by many civilizations to its current size of being able to house over 20,000 people and enough food stores, livestock, tools and weaponry to fully sustain that compliment of inhabitants for years. It is also complete with its own ventilation system and fully function fresh water...

For years debate over the use of psychedelics has raged within the minds of Conspiracy Guys. But it's always been a long held belief that they expand the mind by opening up new neural pathways. If only mainstream science would turn it's well funded eye towards research that could change public perception of the use and value of psychotropics such as psilocybin mushrooms, LSD, DMT and Ayohuasca. Well some nerds have been at it, and wired.com has brought us this incredible...

In our Werewolves Podcast, we talk about lycanthropy as a mental illness as opposed to the actual shape shifting of a human being into feral animal operating only on the basest levels of the brain. This was a huge threat to Renaissance high society and showed the fears of allowing the animalism mind to gain precedence over human rational. John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi arrived on stage in 1614 and told the story of a man who fell to...

A half man - half wolf hybrid, said to roam between Tennessee and Cumberland rivers at the Westernmost edge of Kentucky. Old stories abound about a Shawnee shaman who was killed in wolf form for abusing his powers. Sound bananas? Absolutely! However there have been several sightings of the Beast Between the Lakes including this one What do you think? Are these stories the dog's bollocks or merely dog merde?

Here is an 8 minute video on Oxana Malaya, the Ukrainian Wolf Child. She's someone we've spoken about before on the Podcast. Feral children are human beings abandoned by society and who are taken in, or take in with, wild animals. Over time they begin to exhibit the traits, behaviours, instincts and even the strengths and skills of these animals. The Oxana Malaya case became famous when in 2006 Channel 4 screened a documentary about her life and rehabilitation in the...

In our Mermaids episode we mention the long held theory that the Manatee and it's seagrass eating cousin the Dugong may account for many of the historical Mermaid sightings. That and rum, cabin fever, scurvy, hallucinations and lies. Oh, and possibly Mermaids. But what we found ourselves asking was: what really is the difference between Manatees and Dugongs? Unsurprisingly it's not a huge amount really. Both are of the Sirenia species of sea mammals, and as mentioned earlier they are cousins. They are however...
