  • So funny! So good!

    I can’t count the number of times this show has made me laugh out loud. Whether you’re a skeptic or a true believer, there’s something here for everyone, Rachel is absolutely hilarious, Irene’s banter is a perfect compliment, and together they make every episode a joy to listen to. And, of course, no episode would be complete without Penny!

  • Like this, but

    This is a fun show and I really enjoy the guests. I could use a whole lot less of Irene. She keeps interrupting right when I want to hear what they’re saying. Rachel is fabulous.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Richard Hatem: The Mothman Of West Virginia
Q: How did you first become interested in writing about the paranormal and the Mothman?
I wanted to write from the perspective of what it's actually like to experience the paranormal, not just whether it's real; I found Keel's voice and the human elements in those stories compelling, which led me to explore the questions rather than the answers.
Dr. Honeybrew: The Answers In The Coffee Grounds
Q: What is Dr. Honeybrew's approach to reading coffee grounds?
He emphasizes symbolic, metaphorical readings that focus on present energy and open-ended guidance rather than precise future predictions, encouraging interpretation by the recipient.
Claire Gilman and Josh O'Driscoll: "Tarot!" At The Morgan Library
Q: How old is the current practice of laying out Tarot cards in grids or spreads?
The discussion clarifies that spreads emerged in Paris around 1800, with earlier Tarot primarily a game; spreads evolved as occultists and divination practices developed, culminating in a broader modern use.
Jill Dearman: Super-Powered Astrology
Q: How do you explain astrology to a skeptic who thinks it's not scientifically provable?
I frame astrology as a language and a tool for self-understanding rather than a rigid predictor. It reflects archetypes and patterns that help people navigate life, much like music or therapy helps people express and process themselves.
Anna-Sigga Nicolazzi: Reading A Criminal
Q: How do you balance telling a compelling story with respecting the victims and families involved?
By ensuring the stories are handled with care, focusing on truth and context, and avoiding sensationalism; the goal is to illuminate the system and provide meaning rather than exploit trauma.
