    Amnesia

    When it comes to sudden memory loss, the most common forms of amnesia are often short-term, and stem from trauma to the brain. But some cases are much more inexplicable. People with Dissociative Amnesia don't experience brain damage, but still lose large chunks of time… and can even forget their entire identity. This episode originally aired in February 2021.

    Time Travel Pt. 2

    Time Travel Pt. 2

    How would a time machine work? Physicists have been engaging the question for decades — and building theoretical frameworks to make it happen. From designs like the Tipler Cylinder, to the paradoxes that imply time travel's improbability, how close are we really to folding the fabric of space-time back on itself… and breaking free from the constraints of time as we know it? This episode originally aired in November 2022.

So glad they’re not Qanon whackjobs

I’ve been a huge fan of mysterious topics or “Fortean events” since growing up watching the 90’s Robert Stack show “Unsolved Mysteries”. This podcast reminds me of that show—a straightforward journalistic presentation, with empathy, that discusses possible explanations but doesn’t venture into unhinged ancient aliens territory. I’m here for it!

100% Agree with StarSharon’s review

Love the soothing voices. Good to listen to to fall asleep. I love mysteries. Please leave up as I didn’t find until after they’ve stopped making new episodes. Love the straightforward clear simple explanations of the mysteries. Thorough coverage. So enjoying these mysteries. Thank You. Smiley face emoji.
