    UVA Neuroscientist Reveals Her Take On The Telepathy Tapes | Marina Weiler, PhD (Episode 171)

    Can consciousness exist independently of the brain? Dr. Marina Weiler, Assistant Professor at the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS), shares research on mediumship, out-of-body experiences, remote viewing, and non-speaking children with psychic abilities. A neuroscientist specializing in consciousness studies, Dr. Weiler explains how rigorous scientific methods are being used to investigate phenomena suggesting the mind operates beyond the physical brain. We discuss the award-winning Bigelow Institute research on Brazilian medium Chico Xavier, who produced over 500 books and 10,000 letters attributed to deceased individuals despite only elementary school education. Dr. Weiler shares current DOPS studies using EEG and eye-tracking technology to investigate out-of-body experiences and telepathy in non-speaking individuals. She describes veridical cases including a three-year-old who accurately reported what his parents were doing while asleep in another room, and addresses the controversy surrounding The Telepathy Tapes podcast. A grounded conversation about consciousness research, afterlife evidence, grief, and what decades of scientific investigation reveals about survival after death.

    ITC and EVP: Real-Time Spirit Communication with Staticom 3.0 | Tony Rathman (Episode 170)

    ITC and EVP researcher Tony Rathman explains Staticom 3.0 and real-time spirit communication. Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC) and Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) are often dismissed as noise or coincidence, but this episode explores why some researchers believe the evidence goes much further. Tony Rathman, an ITC researcher and creator of the Staticom 3.0 system, explains the difference between EVP and ITC, how real-time two-way communication is said to work, and why he moved away from radio-based methods toward white-noise and closed-circuit systems designed to remove common skeptical objections. Tony shares how he went from skeptic to researcher after recording direct, relevant voice responses during early investigations, and how years of testing led to clearer, longer, and more interactive communication. We discuss consciousness beyond the brain, why voices appear to follow consistent rules, why future predictions are not given, and what this research suggests about survival of consciousness after death. A grounded conversation on ITC, EVP, spirit communication, grief, consciousness, and the implications this research could have for science, religion, and how we understand life after death.

    Akashic Records, Past Lives & Life Purpose | Krista Rauschenberg (Episode 169)

    Akashic Records readings are used to explore past lives, relationships, life purpose, and emotional blocks, and this episode breaks down how that information is accessed and applied for healing and clarity. Liz speaks with Krista Rauschenberg, an Akashic Records Facilitator and Certified Breathwork Practitioner, about how the Akashic Records are described as an energetic record of the soul and how people use them for self-discovery, decision-making, and spiritual healing. They discuss how Akashic Breathwork helps release emotional blockages, reduce stress, and realign the body and nervous system, along with big questions listeners often ask, including first-life souls, reincarnating with the same people, soul groups, animals in soul families, and how future possibilities appear during readings. A grounded conversation on Akashic Records, breathwork, intuition, consciousness, grief, and healing, with real examples of how this work shows up in everyday life.

    Near-Death Experiences and Past-Life Memories: Inside UVA's Division of Perceptual Studies with Marieta Pehlivanova, PhD (Episode 168)

    Near-death experiences and past-life memories are often dismissed, yet at the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies they are examined using rigorous psychiatric and neuroscience research methods. In this episode, Marieta Pehlivanova, PhD, Research Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at UVA, explains how near-death experiences are defined and measured in scientific research, why many experiencers struggle after returning, and what decades of data suggest about consciousness beyond the brain. The conversation also explores children who report past-life memories, how cases are investigated, what makes a case verifiable, why many children stop talking about these memories in early childhood, and what long-term follow-up studies reveal. Skepticism, academic stigma, and why this research is gaining broader attention are also discussed. A grounded, science-first discussion of near-death experiences, past-life memories, grief, and what the evidence actually shows. My Books + Offerings: WTF Just Happened?!

    CIA Scientist Behind the Secret Government Psychic Spy Program | Dale E. Graff of STARGATE Project (Episode 166)

    What happens when the U.S. government secretly investigates psychic abilities for intelligence and national security? In this episode, Dale E. Graff, former CIA-linked scientist and director of the now-declassified STARGATE Project shares firsthand insight into the government's remote viewing and psychic spy program that operated for decades during the Cold War. Dale explains how remote viewing was used to gather intelligence, locate targets, and support high-level operations, including missing persons cases and international security threats. He discusses precognition, dream-state psi, consciousness beyond space and time, and why these phenomena challenged conventional science. This conversation explores what STARGATE actually did, why it was shut down, what skeptics misunderstand, and what this research suggests about human consciousness, intuition, and survival beyond death.   My Books + Offerings: WTF Just Happened?!

    University-Researched Psychic Medium: Inside the UVA Studies | Joe Perreta (Bonus) What happens when a psychic medium is tested inside a Faraday cage—under strict lab conditions designed to eliminate sensory cues and rule out "normal" information channels? In this bonus episode, Joe Perreta returns to share the behind-the-scenes story of participating in research with the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS), including what it was like being wired up for brain mapping, locked into a high-security Faraday cage, and asked to deliver evidential information on a timed "receive/report" protocol with no sitter feedback. Joe also explains why this setup was harder than a typical reading, what stayed the same about how the information came through, and the surprising "drop-in" moments that appeared to be meant for people working in the lab.
