  • Innovative interviews mixed with a dreamers’s dreams

    The passion of Chrissy Newton’s curiosity shines bright with the quality of guests she has on. This isn’t your typical UFO or science-based podcast. It goes deeper into the disruptive science, the possibilities of alien life, and of course… it truly stands by its name: Rebellious. I can’t recommend it enough!

  • Science, Aerospace, and yes UFOs. Excellent

    Excellent interviewer, smart questions, does her research, knows her classics. Tries to remain skeptic, science based. One of the very few I listen. Five Stars

  • Great interview style

    Love Chrissy’s interview style - unlike a lot of podcasters (Rogan!!) - she actually listens to what her guests have to say and certainly doesn’t interrupt them with mindless internet searches! Anyway - love her compassion above all else. Great holding Doty to account. Just listening to that man makes your blood boil. Not that we didn’t already know - but Chrissy’s interview really shows him to be an extremely manipulative sociopath. A small footnote - as a fellow dyslexic - you describe dyslexi... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Steven Spielberg Being Briefed on UFOs and Disclosure Day | RC107
Q: Was there a real risk of legal or career jeopardy during the Men in Black era for Dark Skies?
Yes, there were threats to shut down production with the threat of burning the negative; the guest describes intense legal pressure and behind‑the‑scenes interference that could erase a show's existence, which underscores the high stakes of UFO storytelling in Hollywood.
Steven Spielberg Being Briefed on UFOs and Disclosure Day | RC107
Q: What was Spielberg's involvement or influence on Dark Skies and this UFO discourse?
There are second‑hand accounts and on‑record denials, but Bryce shares conversations indicating Spielberg was both a proactive participant in UFO discussions and, at times, linked to pressure or influence around projects that touched on government secrecy while maintaining that direct confirmation is not definitive.
Steven Spielberg Being Briefed on UFOs and Disclosure Day | RC107
Q: What is Sound, Light, and Frequency about, and how did it come to be named that?
It's a story about UFOs, Hollywood, and secrecy; the title came from a cryptic envelope handed over at a party with a supposed Office of Naval Intelligence contact who said the envelope contained the secrets of the universe and the words sound, light, and frequency.
Warp Drive Is No Longer Sci-Fi With Former NASA Physicist Harold "Sonny" White | RC99
Q: Can we talk about what you did at NASA?
I worked in the space program for about 20 years, focusing initially on flight robotics and eventually on advanced power and propulsion, including warp drive theory.
Richard Doty & UFO Disinformation, Inside Project Beta author Greg Bishop | RC98
Q: How do you see the UFO community or just the UFO topic evolving in the next 10 to 20 years?
I think science and sociology will continue to be interested in UAP, changing the narrative around the subject, but I don't believe in significant government disclosure.
