Journey to the Fringe

Society EN ↓ 437 episodes

Thanks for checking out our podcast! We look at fringe topics often neglected, or ill discussed, in a light hearted and open manner. These topics run the gambit from the mundane water pollution, recycling, and tax evasion to the fantastical moth persons, time travellers, and paranormal. For us there’s no cryptid too creepy, topic too trivial, or djinn to dreary. Also we like to do exposes on assholes of the UFO community. To keep things fresh (and also because we aren’t really sure how to start podcasts) we start every week off with a Fringey Mini recent news article and discussion (It’s the p...

Phobos: more than just a potato moon? 14.04.2023

Today we take a look through our own solar system and at an often neglected little potato that has like 35 minutes worth of things to talk about. We start this episode off with a few facts about the little guy. We then look at attempts to probe him and the conspiracies that orbit it. Watch for some appearances from our favourite weirdos. In the intro we discuss the relatable Vladmir Putin who may...

Mu-ve over Atlantis, there's another lost continent 07.04.2023

If a lost continent was a barn animal what sound would it make? Mu You are welcome to use that one at your next black tie affair... should any of our other previous tips fail to work (but what are the odds on that right??). Today we talk abut the lost continent of Mu. First proposed in the 1800s by Augustus Le Plongeon, this is a weird one and lets not pretend we wont eventually wind up in some so...

Need some small talk? Here are three cryptids 31.03.2023

In the intro Taylor intrigues us with an article about the fermi paradox, you may remember the Fermi Paradox from another Journey to the Fringe Episode... where we also discussed it.

Mother Shipton 24.03.2023

Oh, Hello, fancy running into you here, might as well stay a while and listen to this episode.

Oh boy was there some shit going down behind the scenes on the previous episode and we are going to take you behind that curtain. We're talking es...

A brief history of post-war Japan Part 1 of 3 03.03.2023

So I want to talk about some shady dealings that went down in Japan, and to do that I'm pretty sure many of us need a history lesson. So here it is! Japan like you've never thought of it, let's call this the pre-anime post-ninja period because lets face it we need historical markers. We start this episode looking at the little colonial power that could and some of its impact on Asia that is usuall...

Andrew Basiago: former chrononaut, future president? 24.02.2023

We unfortunately had troubles with our next episode in the Japan series so we have to re-record and that will be out next week. For now though let’s focus on our learned friend Andrew Basiago. Now Andy is an interesting guy, he received multiple degrees and practiced law in the state of Washington for many years never receiving a complaint leading to penalty. Although that isn’t out of the ordinar...

Onto the good, the bad, the Japan....

The dark knight (of cydonia) strikes again: Richard C. Hoagland part 2 of 2 10.02.2023

In this continuation of our look at Richard C. Hoagland we really start to look at some of the crazier things he has done throughout his career. We will cover that time he wrote a book while in jail (also why he was in jail); how he bullied his way into claiming he came up with the plate humanity sent out on the Pioneer Space Probes; his claim that Nasa is both occult and ran by Nazis; his theory...

The dark knight (of cydonia) rises: Richard C. Hoagland part 1 of 2 03.02.2023

We continue our tour through the notable personalities within fringe communities and this time we are setting our sights on someone who has been part of this scene for close to 60 years, Richard C. Hoagland. In this episode we look at his biography from his start as a young space and science museum curator to his heights of science advisor and speaker which he still dabbles in today. From there we...

Lunar New Year, Lunar Conspiracies! 20.01.2023

The lunar new year is upon us and werewolves couldn't be further away (timing wise anyways).

The Big O - Orgone Energy 16.12.2022

So sex... yup sex... and its not even a misleading start to an intro. We are talking about the magical sexual energy that is throughout the universe. Lets take a step back.
