  • Solid, funny and often thoughtful

    Pretty sure I first heard AP as a guest on Seriah Azkath’s “Where Did The Road Go?”, (which to me is the gold standard of modern paranormal podcasts). When I heard AP had his own pod, I started checking it out. It features many of the same guests so I liked it right away. AP’s style is a little more laid back, more humorous, and more relaxed. I enjoy the show, and along with WDTRG and Tim Binnall’s “Binnall of America” pod, AP’s show has become one of my go-to listens that I often look forward t... more

  • Phenomenal

    I must first disclose I am related to Stephanie, The Best Older Sister. Ever!

    I enjoy the alternate point of view Matt et al provide in every episode which has expanded my understanding of alternative understanding. Having a background in adult education I always am curious to suss out the ways of knowing and foundational belief systems persons employ. And, yes, those ladies were soooper lost and scared. I just needed a minute to finish up.

  • Greatest Wormtown Weirdo podcast!

    A mere 3 minutes into the 1st episode AP displays his podcast dominance by pronouncing Ypsilanti correctly. I know some great podcasts with a terrible first episode. This is not one of them. This one is a banger! Great guest and terrific conversation. Bonus points for the reference to his Parsons research which is what made me a fan of his blog, and then for the plug for Worcester’s Turtle-boy. AP delivers!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Exposing New Age Grifts with Joseph L. Flatley
Q: So how did you come to find out about Urantia and Gabriel, and what made you want to write about it?
I started by researching a music video and meeting an ex-member who led me into a broader ex-member community; over years I gathered interviews, tracked legal cases, and built a nuanced picture of how this movement operated and harmed people, which later became a book and podcast.
Entering the Chapel Perilous with Gabriel Kennedy
Q: What was the most challenging part of researching Wilson's life while moving across countries?
Tracking scattered archives, coordinating with multiple editors, and verifying details across diverse sources required tremendous juggling, similar to how Wilson himself lived—on the move but relentlessly focused on his work.
Entering the Chapel Perilous with Gabriel Kennedy
Q: How did you first connect with Robert Anton Wilson and decide to write his life story?
My interest started with reading Illuminatus and later meeting Wilson at events; over years I collected letters, interviews, and archives, which formed the backbone of a rigorous, human-centered biography.
Getting Creatively Weird with Todd Purse
Q: What sparked your creative journey and who were your early influences in comics?
Todd recalls his exposure to The Simpsons, Calvin and Hobbes, and Garfield through Scholastic Book Fairs, the joy of discovering early 90s indie comics, and how those experiences shaped his appreciation for personal, idiosyncratic voices in art.
Getting Aggressively Scandinavian with Rowdy Geirsson
Q: What's the origin of Weird Wednesday and how did you become involved?
It began when the community filled a gap for a Wednesday themed around weirdness; a small group of friends launched it, and over time it grew into a collaborative, cross-platform project with a distinctive, playful bent.
