  • 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.

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.
Richard Doty & UFO Disinformation, Inside Project Beta author Greg Bishop | RC98
Q: Can you explain how you found yourself writing Project Beta and how you found yourself in this entire UAP world?
It was a lifelong interest from when I was a kid, and I started writing about it when I was in my 20s. I connected with Patrick Huyghe, who facilitated the publication of Project Beta.
What Really Happens During Near-Death Experiences? | RC97
Q: Does any of this work that you're doing around near-death experiences contribute to how the DSM in psychology is written or updated?
Back in the 90s, a category called spiritual or religious problem was added to the DSM, recognizing that profound experiences like NDEs may lead to psychological struggles, while not being pathological themselves.
What Really Happens During Near-Death Experiences? | RC97
Q: Can you talk a little bit about that and how people could go about supporting others when they have these experiences?
It's important to first talk about why do they need support. A lot of what people may be familiar with regarding NDE's may sound very positive, but some people may struggle after an NDE due to their experiences contradicting prior beliefs or causing disconnection from loved ones.
