Journey to the Fringe

In this week’s episode of Journey to the Fringe, we dive into the chaotic mid‑tier of our ongoing Asshole Rankings, revisiting some of the most notorious names in UFO lore, occult history, and paranormal pop culture. From Aleister Crowley’s occult chaos and Jamie Spears’ Hollywood‑grade exploitation to Admiral Byrd’s accidental Hollow Earth legacy (plus the grifty relatives who won’t let it die), we break down who truly earned their spot. We roast Gulf Breeze hoaxer Ed Walters, fringe giant‑hunter L.A. Marzulli, and Coast to Coast AM’s own George Noory, the king of high‑grift...

In this mini, we unpack China’s latest humanoid robot demo — a machine built to take kicks, punches, and full-on workplace abuse like it’s training for the Robot Olympics. As Chelsie and Taylor spiral into questions about robot rage, Boston Dynamics trauma, and why humans immediately bully anything with a motherboard, one thing becomes clear: the future is here, it’s getting shoved around, and it might be keeping score.

This week we're wading deeper into the murky fringe pool, ranking UFO weirdos, time‑slip hopefuls, grifters, and accidental legends as we debate vibes, grift, harm, and who truly earns the asshole crown.

In this episode, we unpack a chilling investigation out of Milan alleging that wealthy Westerners paid to enter the Bosnian War as “sniper tourists,” shooting civilians for sport during the siege of Sarajevo. It’s one of the bleakest, most morally gut‑punching stories we’ve ever covered — the kind that forces you to confront the outer limits of human cruelty and the uncomfortable possibility that similar horrors may still be happening in modern conflicts. It’s dark, it’s haunting, and it’s exactly the kind of fringe truth that demands to be dragged into the light.

so Chelsie saved the day with her random feeling like a Chrstmas mini category and we learn about a holiday tradition in France, enjoy!

Jingle Bells isn’t all holiday cheer. From swamp-dwelling cryptids that lure with chimes, to phantom bells tolling from sunken kingdoms, to the ominous Belled Buzzard and a chilling modern encounter in the woods—this episode explores how bells ring not just with joy, but with warning, deception, and dread.

It’s Christmas Eve, and while sleigh bells jingle in frosted streets, Journey to the Fringe invites you to listen closer. Because not every bell signals joy. Some toll from beneath the sea, echoing the downfall of lost kingdoms like Ys and Cantre’r Gwaelod. Some rin...

So Chelsie found an article, but it was in dutch and she translated... and now I don't know how to find it. Anyhow it's about wolves and saving aspens but also maybe more??? anyhow listen and learn, that's why we do it after all!

The Ballad of Regular Person Andy

Once a prince with pomp and perks,

Now stripped of titles, dodging smirks.

From York’s high halls to scandal’s pit,

Andy proved entitlement’s witless skit.

(No sweat, he swears.)

He sneered at Kate, with jealous bite,

A petty uncle, dim in spite.

William sharpened knives behind the scene,

While Andy puffed with airs obscene.

(No sweat, he swears.)

Twelve million pounds — oh, what a loan?

This week, we find some good news in a surprising place: the fashion industry! We discuss the groundbreaking cultivated leather created by a North Carolina startup, featuring their star, a very much alive sanctuary cow named Angel. Biomedical engineer George Engelmeier grows real collagen from Angel's harmlessly-sampled skin cells on plant-based scaffolds, creating luxury leather goods like wallets and jewelry without the need for slaughter, toxic tanning chemicals, or heavy environmental impact. The discussion centers on whether this new, cruelty-free material—which dramatically reduces water use and emissions—can be considered truly "vegan," or if it simply represents the best...

Explore the eerie world of fringe deathbed confessions in this episode of Journey to the Fringe. From UFOs and alien secrets to Bigfoot encounters, cryptid hoaxes, and family lore shared on Reddit, we examine whether final words reveal hidden truths—or simply fuel the mysteries that define fringe culture.

In this episode of Journey to the Fringe, we dive deep into the unsettling yet fascinating realm of deathbed confessions—those final words whispered at life’s end that often blur the line between truth and myth. Building on our previous exploration of confessions, we examine how these storie...

You’ve heard of Mothman, but what if your winged cryptid crush has… stone skin, a French etymology, and a penchant for rooftop brooding? In this episode, we crack open the cathedral and peer into the eerie, misunderstood world of gargoyles. From their architectural origins as grotesque water spouts to their modern cryptid cameos—like the Butler Gargoyle of Pennsylvania—we explore whether these stony sentinels are protectors, predators, or just really dramatic lawn ornaments. Bonus: real-life sightings that’ll make you think twice about that statue on your neighbor’s roof.

So here's the deal: I stumbled across this Reuters article about a Chinese freighter that basically said, “Forget the Suez, we're taking the Arctic shortcut.” And boom — delivery times to Europe got sliced ​​in half. Sounds cool, right? Except it's literally too cool, because the only reason this route is even open is global warming melting the ice. Yikes.

In this mini we're talking

Emanuel Swedenborg was an 18th‑century scientist who claimed to travel between heaven, hell, and even other planets. Was he a mystic genius or a dreamer lost in visions? In this episode, we uncover how his strange ideas shaped spiritualism, occultism, and even modern paranormal culture.

In part two of our Skinny Bob saga, we dive headfirst back into the pixelated rabbit hole of everyone’s favorite blink-happy alien. This week, we’re wrapping up the final “leaked” videos from the mysterious Ivan0135 — including Family Vacation, where the aliens apparently went on a diplomatic stroll with the humans (or maybe Ike just needed a very secretive dentist). We’ll weigh the evidence, explore theories ranging from Cold War whistleblowers to $80k student film projects, and maybe—just maybe—ask the only man who could possibly clear this up REDACTED Because if anyone is lying, it’s definitely him.<...

In this mini we’re exploring the eerie frontier of neuroscience: lab-grown brain organoids that may be inching toward consciousness. As scientists warn that these tiny clumps of human neurons could soon feel pain—or even develop a rudimentary sense of self—we ask the big questions: What defines consciousness? Where does the soul begin, if it exists at all? From Petri dishes to philosophy, we dive into the murky space between biology and being, and whether we’re truly ready for what we might create.

In this part 1 of 2 episode, we’re talking about Skinny Bob — the smooth-headed, slow-blinking grey alien from the alleged leaked KGB tapes that’s divided the UFO world since 2011. The footage, dropped online by a mysterious “Ivan0135,” shows everything from saucers to shaky autopsies to one very photogenic extraterrestrial with Pixar-level eyelid physics. In this episode we take a Journey through the first 3 of 4 “leaked videos.

We also find out that Ivan’s “leaks” feature digital fonts from 2006, borrowed KGB logos, and some truly questionable film grain. Hoax or hush-hush history? We’ll break down the footage, the frenzy, and the...

Just when you thought politics couldn't get weirder, this mini-sode dives into a wild South Korean scandal that is not what you're expecting. The 82-year-old leader of the Unification Church (yep, the "Moonies") has been arrested for... giving gifts? To be fair, the "gifts" were Chanel bags and a diamond necklace for the nation's former first lady, who argued she's "not political," just a nice person who gives good stuff. This story has it all: an impeached president, a failed martial law attempt, and a cast of characters with so many similar names it's basically impossible to follow.

What happens when someone claims they were possessed during a crime? In this episode of Journey to the Fringe, we explore the strange collision of demonic possession, criminal law, and insanity defenses. From the chilling Ossett murder case in England, to the infamous “Devil Made Me Do It” trial in Connecticut, to the Son of Sam killings and the execution of Sean Sellers, we uncover how courts wrestle with claims of the supernatural. Along the way, we examine the blurred lines between psychology, belief, and responsibility—and how possession defenses reveal society’s deepest fears about evil, madness, and free wil...

Well it's about time we talked, at least briefly about modern day tic tac sightings... even if it is a mini and briefly. Don't worry this is just a short taste of many episodes I am sure we will get to in the next 10 years at the latest (but don't hold us to that timeline). With special guest appearance by Jeremy Corbell.

In a striking turn of events, Journey to the Fringe is getting behind the Catholic Church— no, not that way…. Pope Leo has refused to authorize the creation of an AI pope, condemning the concept as a “cold, empty shell” that threatens the essence of humanity. He warns that replacing spiritual leadership with artificial intelligence could cause profound harm to human connection, morality, and meaning. The statement underscores growing tensions between faith and emerging technologies, raising questions about the soul of leadership in an increasingly digital age.

This Halloween kickoff dives broom-first into the witch trials you didn’t learn in school. From England’s petty Pendle drama to Germany’s mass-burning madness, Sweden’s child-accused chaos, Scotland’s storm-summoning scandal, and Iceland’s scholarly sorcerers (mostly men, surprise!) — it’s a whirlwind of paranoia, torture, and political power plays. We poke at “witch’s marks” (yes, even extra nipples), unpack royal freakouts, and spotlight how superstition shaped centuries of horror. History’s wild, and this episode’s got receipts.

‘Last night’ over Shandong—not Area 51—locals spotted a blazing light, heard two booming bangs, then watched as kaboom a missile apparently smashed into some “UFO” that crossed its path. The Chinese press is calling it an interception test—“missile vs mystery craft”—while armchair alien hunters are already dusting off their tin-foil hats. Some speculate space junk, others suspect drones, but the media spin says this was a flex: China showing off it can shoot down something the U.S. might flinch at. Cue the Yaps’ mad dubstep beat drop—boom, flash, bass, mystery.

So Canada released a report that went over the infrastructure for reporting a UFO/UAP in both Canada, and other countries.

Ready to take another wild ride through the gloriously weird world of the Weekly World News? This week, we’re diving into the tabloid’s most outrageous stories, from “Page 5 Honey” bikinis to Elvis sightings that just won’t quit (spoiler: the King ain’t dead, and he loves butch). We’ll unpack the world’s fattest people who apparently eat their families, apocalyptic economic depressions that were “just weeks away” (still waiting), and Bible relics that might have been buried next to the Garden of Eden… in Colorado. Expect alien love affairs, presidential robot conspiracies, and of course, the legend of Bat Boy...

In this episode we’re talking about how Louisiana just pulled the plug on a $3 billion coastal restoration project that was supposed to be the crown jewel of its climate resilience plan—funded by BP oil spill money, no less. The Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion was set to rebuild vanishing wetlands, but Gov. Jeff Landry said “nope,” citing seafood, culture, and sticker shock. Critics called it a science-backed lifeline; Landry called it a freshwater fiasco. Now, the state might have to cough up hundreds of millions already spent, and conservationists are left wondering if Louisiana’s coastal future is being traded for...

This week, we’re diving headfirst into the wonderfully weird world of the Weekly World News—the tabloid that proved reality is just a suggestion. From Bat Boy’s cave escapades to dragon-in-a-jar hoaxes, WWN was the supermarket shelf’s reigning champion of outrageous headlines and lovable nonsense. With a mix of clipped “news,” wild fiction, and opinion columns so spicy they’d make your grandma blush, this rag had readers questioning: “Is this real? Who cares!” Whether you remember it as the black-and-white beacon of bizarre or just a guilty checkout aisle pleasure, we’re unpacking the legacy of a publication tha...

This week, it’s a Journey to the Fringe first- part 1 of a 2 closely related mini episodes, episode.

We’re exploring the surreal reality of nations slowly vanishing beneath rising seas. It’s not sci-fi—it’s happening now. From tropical paradises to icy outposts, communities around the globe are facing the ultimate eviction notice from Mother Nature. We unpack how climate change is reshaping borders, identities, and the very idea of home. Get ready for a JTTF specialty of existential dread, unexpected resilience, and a few salty jokes. It’s climate migration with a twist of lime.

Get ready to go underground—literally—because this episode digs into some seriously spooky mining tales that prove the earth’s not just full of rocks, but secrets, ghosts, and maybe a few otherworldly knuckleheads. From the mischievous Tommyknockers who knock on walls like ghostly miners-on-call, to eerie faces appearing on Spanish kitchen floors (because who doesn’t want a haunted concrete countertop?), and the Freiberg Shrieker—a winged, scream-machine saving miners from fiery doom. We also strike gold with the cursed Lost Dutchman Mine, where treasure hunters meet ghosts, madness, or worse. Don’t forget Bell Island’s haunted mines...

Lightning plays havoc in the Nevada desert, sparking the so-called “Gothic Fire” that’s torching over 30,000 acres right next to the top-secret Area 51 — denial of UFO infernos optional. Amid the tinder-dry conditions, federal crews are doing their best fire-dance to contain the blaze, while conspiracy buffs clutch their tin-foil hats a little tighter.

Some say it’s still burning to this day (not fact checked, it may not be)

Nazis and UFOs go together like peanut butter and conspiracy jelly — weird, sticky, and impossible to ignore. This episode blasts off into the wild world where Third Reich science meets flying saucers, ghost rockets, and a mystery gadget called Die Glocke — a contraption so mysterious it might just bend time, space, or your sense of reality. We unpack WWII’s “foo fighters,” secret Antarctic bases, jet-age Nazi tech, and occult experiments that make sci-fi look amateur. From wartime skies to Cold War paranoia and underground UFO fleets, buckle up — it’s a wild, sassy trip through one of history’s freakiest “wha...

This week Residents in Falmouth, Massachusetts, describe their seaside idyll as “the ultimate beach-side dream”—until knee-deep floods and encroaching tides turn it into a soggy nightmare. In one memorable moment, a distraught homeowner quipped, “We grabbed the cat and got out,” as sea level rise nudges increasingly frequent retreat plans and dune-fix schemes.

Buckle up, because this week we wrap our skeptical little hearts around Extraordinary: The Revelations—the third and allegedly most profound installment in the series that promised to demystify UFOs for the masses… and kinda didn’t. With a 5.4 IMDb rating and a roll call of ufology’s VIPs, you’d think we’d be swimming in disclosure gold. Instead, it’s jargon without explanation, regression therapy thrown around like a BuzzFeed quiz, and filmmakers whose “deep ties to the unexplained” might just mean they own a Ouija board.

We dig into the odd disconnect between their goal of mass acces...

First up—The Seeding—a wild ride into alien hybrid baby experiments (complete with questionable sperm visuals 👀)—and The Revelations, where UFO experts debate biblical prophecies, government cover-ups.

What if the Big Bang wasn’t the beginning of everything—but just the Universe rebounding from a massive black hole collapse? Yep, we might be living inside a black hole.

From the accidental invention of Teflon by Roy J. Plunkett to DuPont’s billion-dollar empire built on non-stick convenience, we trace the rise of PFAS and their dark legacy. These chemicals, once celebrated for their water and heat resistance, are now found in the blood of nearly every human and animal on Earth. We explore the health consequences, the decades of corporate cover-ups, environmental contamination, and the legal reckoning that followed. It’s...

China’s planning a massive solar power station in space that could beam energy back to Earth and outproduce all our oil in a single year.

This episode the after life is giving Michigan a run for it's money... we’re diving straight into the deep (and occasionally demonic) end of near-death experiences—because sometimes the tunnel doesn’t lead to a warm, loving light… it leads to shrieking shadows, bottomless voids, and the occasional hellish pit stop.

Is it a marine mystery? A malfunctioning machine? Or just the sound of our own inner chaos? We dive into the drama, meet the Facebook detectives, and ask the hard questions: Why does your ear hum only in Scotland? Should dolphins be worried? And most importantly—can you hum it, or...

In this thrilling second half we take a look at Edgar Mitchell's career with UFOs and aliens and all the twist and turns it takes. I would write more but I don't really want to spoil it.

From his rigorous training at NASA to the breathtaking lunar expedition, we follow Mitchell’s journey as he leaves Earth, lands on the moon, and returns home.

But something happened up there—something profound. As Mitchell gazed out at the stars on his way back, he experienced a shift in consciousness, an overwhelming sense that humanity was deeply interconnected with the universe. This moment would change his life forever… or was th...

This week at Journey to the Fringe we're obsessed with wolves of all types- bipeds, Dire Wolves... probably others?

That's right, we're diving deep into yet another great lake anaomaly... at least loosley in the neighborhood, and that's the legend of the Dogman—not to be confused with Dave Pilkey’s graphic novel hero, though this cryptid might also rip up your mail. From Michigan’s misty Manistee River to Pennsylvania’s moonlit pastures, sightings of this upright, canine-headed creature go way back, often showing up uninvited, and sometimes with a cigarette between its teeth (we don’t judge...

In this howlingly strange mini, we sink our teeth into the buzz around Colossal Biosciences' claim that they’ve resurrected the dire wolf—yes, the same fang-faced legends from Game of Thrones. But are these snow-white pups really ancient predators reborn, or just very expensive cosplay wolves? We sniff out the science behind gene editing, prehistoric DNA, and some eyebrow-raising semantics as scientists clash over whether Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi are breakthroughs in de-extinction—or just glorified gray wolves with a dramatic backstory. Spoiler alert: evolution is messier than your average family tree.

Guess what!! There's lots more Serpo papers to go through. Today we are going to learn about the planning of the exchange program and the selection and psychological torturing of the team sent to Serpo. Also some weird AI happenings are included in this episode which I don't think anyone was expecting.

This week there's a whole lot going on, but I think it ends with a relevant story about orcas and climate change!

In this episode, we're tackling a hot topic: how private equity's fire truck roll-up might have fanned the flames of the recent L.A. wildfires. Picture this: dozens of fire trucks sitting idle while fires rage on. Why? Because a private equity firm decided to play monopoly with fire truck manufacturers, driving up prices and causing supply delays.

This mini, we're diving into the absurdity of late-stage capitalism, where even fire trucks aren't safe from corporate consolidation. Connect the dots with us to how these practices are not just burning through budgets but also putting lives and...
