    Ep. 154 Why Your Repeated Failures May Be a Message From the Soul

    Host BT and guest Leon explore mysticism, the soul, and the shadow; the hidden fears, wounds, and patterns that can shape our choices. They discuss how quiet reflection, meditation, and self-examination may help people listen more carefully to their inner life and distinguish intuition from ego, fear, or wishful thinking. Leon shares stories from his spiritual journey, including childhood experiences, setting aside his “seer” side while building a life in the physical world, and returning to spiritual work decades later. He also talks about soul readings, divine timing, free will, and how difficult experiences can prompt reflection and growth.The conversation invites listeners to consider whether the answers they seek might begin with being still, looking inward, and facing what they would rather avoid.

    Ep. 153 Converging on Corruption, the Nature of Greed with Gregg Owen

    This episode of Truth and Shadow explores how greed and corruption can take hold—from the psychology of wanting more to the institutional failures that undermine justice. Host BT opens with a reflection on greed as a force that grows through seemingly reasonable choices, leaving people—and systems—hollowed out. Then former Cook County prosecutor Gregg Owen joins the conversation to discuss his unusual path from touring musician to trial lawyer and his book, Convergence. Owen recounts working in a courthouse shaped by bribery and political pressure, and explains how musical instincts helped him with courtroom timing, witness preparation, and connecting with jurors. At the heart of the discussion is a double-murder case that became a fight against obstructed justice, missing evidence, and indifference. Owen also reflects on Operation Greylord, Chicago’s history of court corruption, and the responsibility to give victims a voice.

    Ep. 152 Does Artificial Intelligence Blink When It Spies On You?

    AI is no longer just software...it’s becoming an industrial system built on land, power, and immense computing infrastructure. This episode traces artificial intelligence from early rule-based machines to deep learning, autonomous agents, and AI factories reshaping the future. Host BT explores energy demand, data centers, surveillance-scale data, and the unsettling possibility that advanced systems may be moving beyond what humans can predict, contain, or fully understand...a compelling look at the hidden reality behind AI.

    Ep. 151 The Hidden Cost of Silence

    Evil rarely arrives looking evil. It often appears as prudence, neutrality, institutional responsibility, or an attempt to “keep the peace”—and that is exactly where the moral danger begins. In this episode of Truth and Shadow, BT sits down with historian Ambrogio Caiani to explore one of the most difficult questions in modern Catholic history: what happens when faith, power, and survival collide under totalitarian pressure? At the center of the conversation is Pope Pius XII, the Holocaust, and the agonizing line between prudent diplomacy and silence that becomes consent. Drawing from his research into the Vatican archives and the moral crises of the 20th century, Kajani examines how institutions can drift into compromise one decision at a time.

    Ep. 150 The Supernatural Woman, with author Angel Millar

    A major focus of the conversation is Jungian psychology. BT and Angel discuss archetypes, the shadow, the collective unconscious, synchronicity, and individuation, with special attention to dreams as meaningful encounters rather than random mental noise. Angel argues that the supernatural woman is not just a psychological projection, but something many historical people experienced as a real external presence. He traces this idea through Greek myth, Norse lore, medieval tales, Wicca, Freemasonry, and stories of visionary experiences that changed people’s lives. Angels website: angelmillar.com

    Ep. 149 From Beyond the Veil

    On this Shadow Short episode, host B.T. Wallace steps into H.P. Lovecraft’s From Beyond and asks whether the story’s central idea may be more than horror fiction. Across ancient cultures, people have described an unseen world populated by spirits, gods, angels, demons, ancestors, and other intelligences existing beyond ordinary human perception. Modern theories often reduce those accounts to misunderstood extraterrestrials, but the older traditions point to something far stranger. From the pineal gland and the “third eye” to altered states of consciousness, sensory deprivation, psychedelics, dreams, and Christian warnings about the unseen realm, B.T. explores the possibility that the veil separating visible and invisible reality may be thinner than we think and asks what might already be standing on the other side.

    Ep. 148 Science, Faith, and Evolution with Dr. Stacy

    This episode explores the tension many Christians feel when science, evolution, and creation are discussed together. Brandon Wallace interviews Dr. Stacy, a chemist and Catholic scholar, about how to think about evolution without panic, scientism, or false certainty. We discuss why the age of the earth is not the object of Christian faith, how Catholic thought makes room for both science and miracle, and why humility matters when reading both nature and scripture.

    Ep. 147 Are You Reading God’s Word or Letting It Read You? With Sonja Corbitt

    This Episode is about Lectio Divina, scripture as a personal encounter with God, and how daily prayer can move someone from information to transformation. It centers on Sonia Corbett’s “Love the Word” approach: listen first, observe, verbalize, and entrust, then let scripture reveal both comfort and conviction. The conversation also weaves in Catholic spirituality, Mary’s receptivity, suffering, silence, and the idea that modern people often miss God because they’re too distracted to be present. It argues that scripture is not just something to study, but something that studies us, exposing our motives, wounds, and habits while inviting healing. A major thread is that vulnerability is what opens the heart to God, especially in seasons of grief, anxiety, or frustration, when prayer becomes less about performance and more about honest receptivity. The episode also contrasts left-brain analysis with a more symbolic, Marian, and contemplative way of reading that holds both meaning and mystery. Ultimately, it encourages listeners to slow down, make space for silence, and allow the Word to reshape identity, peace, and daily action.
