    Episode 11: LSD In The 1950s - A Bus Stop Bench Series

    For the first of our Bus Stop Bench series we're joined with special guest John to discuss the use of LSD in the 1950s; primarily by the U.S. government but also how it seeped into broader society. The buttoned up & repressed era of the 1950s is not a time we typically associate with acid and yet that's when the research really kicked off. So throw on your best tie dye cardigan and join us as we play stickball with your mind!

    Episode 10: The Sarajevo Safari

    The Sarajevo Safari was an ALLEGED war tourism phenomenon that POSSIBLY happened during the siege of Sarajevo between 1992 to 1996. Wealthy foreigners MAY HAVE been paying huge sums of money to the Serbian military for the opportunity to shoot civilians with sniper rifles. It could be a complete myth, but the story has carried on to this day and just last year (2025) the Public Prosecutor's Office in Milan opened an ongoing investigation into the alleged participation of Italian citizens in these horrific crimes. We wanted to come back with something light!

    Episode 9: The Eighth Tower - John A. Keel

    To close out our series on the life and mind of John A. Keel, we're going to dive into his master's thesis on the paranormal subject captured in the book The Eighth Tower. Does it make sense? No. Does it have any real evidence? Also no. But is it just the kind of ludicrous escapism your life has been craving? Maybe!

    To wrap up our series on the book we're going to take look at Manson's time in San Francisco and all the groovy connections he might have had with the CIA through his visits to The Height Ashbury Free Medical Clinic. Come on in and don't mind the pencil pushers! It's all part of a test we're doing...

    Episode 5: Chaos: Charles Manson, The CIA & the Secret History of The Sixties - Part 2

    In this episode we're exploring the life of Reeve Whitson, an alleged spy who embedded himself in the Manson case as well as the FBI's COINTELPRO program and the CIA's Operation Chaos. We'll look at how the goals of these covert government operations aligned with the broader results of the murders. Coincidence!?…quite possibly.

    08/19/2025

    Episode 4: Chaos: Charles Manson, The CIA & The Secret History of The Sixties - Part 1

    We're starting our next dive into one of the most fascinating angles of the Charles Manson story painstakingly detailed in Tom O'Neil's book, Chaos: Charles Manson, The CIA & The Secret History of The Sixties. Over twenty years of research, Tom lays out how Manson very possibly may have been part of the confirmed shenanigans the CIA was up to at the very same place and time with the very same goals the Tate-LaBianca murders achieved - prove that mind control with the help of LSD is possible, create hypno-programed assassins and demonize the flower power movement while you're at it! In Part 1, we'll cover the peculiarities of the trial as well as the Hollywood criminal underworld that seeps into the story.

    Episode 3: The Lurking Fear - H. P. Lovecraft

    To close out our series on Hate Powered Lovecraft we're to check out the Lurking Fear right behind you! This was a serialized story exploring HP's disdain for the Dutch (which is kind of refreshing) and how little he understood about lighting.

    Episode 2: The Shadow Over Innsmouth - H. P. Lovecraft

    We're now going to dive into the only novel Lovecraft ever got published within his lifetime, The Shadow Over Innsmouth. Its maybe his most complete story and definitely one of his most racist. You're not worrying enough about fish-frog people!

    07/08/2025

    Episode 1: H. P. Lovecraft - A Bit of an Oddball

    We're going to start with maybe the most cancelled author, H. P. Lovecraft. The stories are fun it's ok to like them! He's one of the most impactful figures in modern horror fiction. As long as you understand that the guy kinda sucks.
