The Loopholes Podcast

It's the big finale of series 2! What better way to end things than with a sincere and probing test of Ian's psychic abilities. Will ESP experiments prove something that nature could never explain? Or will we be left with psychic egg on our faces?

This week we have an extended chat with the delightful Stefan Keeler, the psychic and tarot reader from earlier episodes. Can Stefan offer any insight into Ian's budding psychic powers?

This week, Dr Kate and Pixie-blooded Ian meet the fascinating Kate Ray, an aficionado of all things gnome, pixie and fae. Will Dr Kate meet a gnome in trainers, or will Ian ruin it with a gun turret? Let's find out...

Another esoterotic smasher awaits! This week, our learned guest is real-life barrister and ghost law expert, Naomi Ryan, who talks us through the legal ramifications of killing a would-be ghost.

This week, we have an interview with paranormal event host Amy Cox, and a further interview with Kev Kerr, the investigator turned skeptic. This time around, we're putting ghost-hunting tech equipment under scrutiny...

In today's show, we discuss Ian's increased psychic abilities as he harnesses them for evil. We go through all your correspondence as always, have an informative and fun chat with Jon Williams off Very Hard Talk, and an extended interview with Kev Kerr who is a believer turned skeptic with a fascinating tale to tell.

This week, we're talking all things algorithm and Amityville. Are fake histories harmful, and what's being manipulated for the sake of a good haunting? We chat to Paranormal Advisor Karin Beasant from the Jamaica Inn paranormal team for some insight.

Hello there! Join Kate and Ian as we check in with close encounters of the egg kind, discuss the ethics of tarot reading and wonder why ghost threesomes aren't more common.

This week, Kate goes out of her way to upset Ian and checks in with dead entertainer, Freddie Starr. We also chat to double-doctor and Telephone Calls From the Dead author, Dr Cal Cooper!

Loopholes is back! And we've brought you a brand new format! This week is a bumper crop as we chat about ghost marriage and meet Stefan Keeler, the Tarot reader!

This is it! The end of Loopholes Series 1 is marked by an Ian-shaped takeover as we enter the world of the Haunted Mansion. Are there real ghosts? Can a haunted house look rather pleasant? Will Ian finally admit some things are truly spooky...?

It's the penultimate episode of series one! What better way to celebrate than with a trip to the Isle of Man to visit Gef the talking Mongoose!

This week is a courtroom special as two of the greatest scientific minds of the 19th century go head to head in a spiritualist drama for the ages. It's also Kate's birthday, so Ian has to bite his tongue for once.

Today, we barrel back into Celebrity Séance Corner and pay a visit to Blanche Cooper. Not only did she chat with Egyptian Pharaohs, but the spirit of a man who was not...quite...dead. At all.

This week's episode is another comments special, where the discussion is entirely led by you! Kate and Ian tackle behaviour in the paranormal, Blair Witch, our own fizzy brains and the power of celebrity.

This week, Kate recounts the wondrous tale of Ken Webster's 'Vertical Plane' where communications across time were made possible via a BBC Micro Computer. Ian...isn't convinced.

This week takes a more solemn tone as Kate and Ian discuss the life of Thomas Lynn Bradford, the spiritualist who died with the hope of returning to a seance table.

The Belmez Faces. Supernatural phenomena or simply dodgy flooring? Kate and Ian see how a small Spanish town made world headlines with quite fantastical claims.

It's the Loopholes Summer Special! This episode has peak waffle, manky membranes and two - yes, two! - special guests!

This week, Kate and Ian head to Northumberland to enter the world of the Hexham Heads. There's Celtic evil, curses, wolf-men and mystery...and the small chance that Kate accidentally cursed Ian's house.

Grab your hoverboard and put on some Huey Lewis to get yourself in the mood as we're going time travelling! This week, we're looking at time slips; instances where people suddenly find themselves in the past. A great way to explain why you were late for work.

This week, we don't skip through comments, but give one important comment its due. This week's chat is pretty death-heavy, but also thoughtful, funny and gives us all a lot to think about.

This week, Kate and Ian try to understand the Unified Theory of the Paranormal , which explains how aliens, Mothman and psychics all skip along the same electric corridor, and we just need to be clever enough - or a dog - to see them. We might be paraphrasing, but that's basically it.

This week is a rollercoaster of esoterotica! Ian continues his successful career as a barrister while Kate attempts to tell him about Auras. A deep-dive into Crown Court ensues and Ian has a rare 'serious moment'.

Its Loopholes day! This week, Kate fully converts Ian to the world of ancient hilltop magic with an introduction to Harry Price's Brocken Experiment . Also known as one girl, one goat . (Probably not).
