  • Very good

    Great guests (Gordon, RIP) and I may not always agree but Greg is brave and perhaps all along has been the canary in the coal mine. The longer I listen the more I realize Greg was right all along -amazing. It’s why I signed up to the membership

  • Truth is not debatable

    The Sandy Hook shootings are not debatable. A mentally disturbed individual went to a school to shoot a lot of people. The earth is not flat and many other truths are not debatable.

  • Airplane companion

    My standard airplane buddy is THC.

    I appreciate that the THC world view seems to be ever more open minded about both conventional and unconventional views. I’m not religious but have no problem hearing the ideas of those who are. Same with politics.

    Keep grinding them out, Mr Carlwood!

  • Information Dense podcast

    I’ve been a THC listener for years now. One thing I love about it the non-partisan views. Keep politics out of conspiracy facts. Keep it Greg.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Christian Westbrook | From Ice Age Farmer To Unshadowed & The Incoming Engineered Omnicrisis
Q: What does the term omni-crisis mean, and how does it shape your view of the current world events?
Omni-crisis encapsulates a broad, interconnected set of crises—oil, energy, food, fertilizer, plastics, geopolitics, and even a collapsing magnetosphere—viewed as a unified challenge that requires both systemic critique and practical, local action rather than passive acceptance.
Christian Westbrook | From Ice Age Farmer To Unshadowed & The Incoming Engineered Omnicrisis
Q: Can you give a brief update on what happened during your absence and how you've regrouped since then?
The host and audience were curious about a period of silence; Christian explains that friction from his work and a climate-lockdown discussion drew scrutiny from groups like the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, led to platform restrictions (PayPal, YouTube), and personal life challenges, which he used as a turning point to reorganize his approach and resume sharing insights through Unshadowed with a renewed focus on actionable resilience.
Michael Cremo | Extreme Out Of Place Artifacts, More Forbidden Archaeology, & Vedic Cosmology
Q: What is the core message you want listeners to take away about the nature of reality?
The core message is that we live in a consciousness-based universe where identity as a being of pure consciousness shapes our goals and social structures, and adopting this perspective can lead to more sustainable and equitable outcomes.
Michael Cremo | Extreme Out Of Place Artifacts, More Forbidden Archaeology, & Vedic Cosmology
Q: Why do you think Darwinism and materialism hold such sway in science despite accumulating anomalies?
The host questions the dominance of materialist paradigms, and Cremo suggests that financial and institutional influences, plus a preference for a consistent, testable physical model, have discouraged alternative cosmologies, while consciousness-based models offer a more inclusive explanation.
Michael Cremo | Extreme Out Of Place Artifacts, More Forbidden Archaeology, & Vedic Cosmology
Q: Can you tell us more about how the Puranas describe human history and why a Vedic cosmology might better fit the evidence?
Cremo explains that the Puranas provide hundreds of accounts suggesting a much longer or different human antiquity than conventional timelines, and that a framework which includes consciousness and non-material realities can accommodate this evidence while bridging science and spirituality.
