MAMA RAE PODCAST

The headlines may fade, but the investigations aren’t over. Welcome back to the Mama Rae Podcast! In this special edition, we’re introducing The RAE Report—a new format dedicated to revisiting investigations, uncovering recent developments, and following the questions that remain unanswered. From the recovery of 163 missing children in Florida to the disturbing developments surrounding Christa Pik...

She was 18 years old when she committed murder. She was sentenced to death in 1996. Thirty years later, Christa Gail Pike survived Tennessee’s attempt to execute her. But how does someone spend three decades on death row? And what happens when the government attempts to carry out a death sentence—and the person survives? In this episode of the Mama Rae Podcast , we investigate the 1995 murder of 1...

It started with a video. I came across a story claiming that a nurse at Roswell was ordered to sing to a mysterious being to keep it calm—and that one night, it supposedly sang back. But that wasn’t the part that sent me down the rabbit hole. It was the nurse. If someone was actually assigned to care for a surviving being, who relieved her? Who were the doctors? Who guarded the door? Who cleaned t...

A woman named Rubí Rolque says she entered a coma—and while her body remained here, she experienced something extraordinary: what felt like six years of another life in the year 2031 . But instead of asking you to simply believe her, Mama Rae is asking a different question: Could something like this actually be possible? In this episode, we investigate what science currently knows—and still doesn’...

The Man God Took, Noah’s Ark & the Ancient Tradition That Changed Enoch Forever What happened to Enoch after God “took” him? Genesis gives us one of the strangest statements in the Bible: Enoch walked with God—and then he was simply gone. But that tiny unexplained passage eventually develops into something extraordinary. In Part 15 of The Book of Enoch Investigation , we follow Enoch through Genes...

The Fall, the Human Body & What We Were Supposed to Become What did humanity actually lose when Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden? Most of us know the story. The forbidden tree.
The serpent.
The fruit.
The Fall.
The exile from Eden. But buried underneath that familiar story is a much bigger question: What was humanity supposed to be before everything changed? Welcome to Part 14 of the Mama Rae...

The Prison of the Watchers, the Chambers of the Dead & Abel’s Cry for Justice What if we’ve spent all this time asking who the Watchers were … when we overlooked something even stranger? Enoch tells us where they were taken. And then he’s shown somewhere else entirely—a place where the spirits of dead human beings are being kept while awaiting judgment. Among them is someone we’ve already investig...

When millions of dollars are raised in the name of autistic people and their families, where does the money actually go? In this episode of the Mama Rae Podcast , I begin following the financial trail behind one of the most recognizable autism nonprofits in America: Autism Speaks⁠. We examine IRS Form 990 filings, audited financial statements, executive compensation, fundraising expenses, program-...

Whatever happened to “No Child Left Behind”? The law carrying that name may be gone, but what happened to the promise that every child deserves meaningful access to education and opportunity? In this deeply personal episode of the Mama Rae Podcast , I step into this conversation not only as an investigative journalist—but as a mother raising two daughters whose experiences in the world can look co...

This is the episode that brings us all the way back to the beginning . Before the Watchers. Before the Nephilim. Before Azazel, Mastema, the spirits of the Giants, ancient remedies, and all the rabbit holes we’ve followed… There was one question that originally sent me searching through the Book of Enoch: Do humans have a second body? We never fully answered it. So in Part 12 of the Mama Rae Podca...

🍄 What if a mushroom could make you see tiny human beings? And why have cultures around the world been telling stories about little people for centuries? Welcome back to the Mama Rae Podcast! In this episode, we’re opening a brand-new investigation into mushrooms, ancient knowledge, folklore, and the mysteries of the human mind. Our journey begins with Lanmaoa asiatica, a mushroom linked to repor...

Your AI Photo Took Seconds. What Did It Actually Cost? | The Hidden Environmental Impact of AI An AI-generated photo takes seconds to create. But what happens behind the screen? After encountering a viral Instagram post claiming that the popular 1980s AI photo trend was wasting enormous amounts of water and electricity, Mama Rae decided to investigate. In this episode of the Mama Rae Podcast, we f...

What did ancient Jewish communities believe about demons before Jesus? And what can the Dead Sea Scrolls actually tell us about the supernatural world described in the Book of Enoch? In Part 11 of our ongoing investigation, we're moving beyond modern translations and into the ancient manuscripts themselves. Following our investigation into Noah's remedies, Mastema, and the spirits of the giants, w...

What if the Book of Jubilees preserves an ancient account of medicinal knowledge given to Noah—and passed down to his son Shem? In Part 10 of our Book of Enoch investigation, we return to a fascinating detail we nearly left behind. After the Flood, Noah's descendants were reportedly afflicted by evil spirits. According to Jubilees Chapter 10, Noah prayed for protection, God ordered the spirits res...

Filipino people were once brought to the United States and displayed before paying American audiences. When I first came across that claim, I didn’t believe the story could be as straightforward as social media made it sound. So I investigated it. What I found was not just one disturbing exhibition—but an entire chapter of Filipino-American history many Americans were never taught. In 1904, more t...

Our investigation into the Book of Enoch just opened a much bigger door. In Part 8, we followed the forgotten women of the Watcher story—the human wives who became the mothers of the Giants—and discovered that one surviving Greek tradition of 1 Enoch associates them with Sirens . But why would an ancient Jewish text use a creature we now classify as Greek mythology? That question led us somewhere...

What happened to the women who became the wives of the Watchers? We know what 1 Enoch says happened to the rebellious angels. We know what became of the Giants. We’ve followed the story of the spirits left behind after their deaths. But there’s another group in this story that is rarely talked about: The women. In Part 8 of the Mama Rae Podcast investigation into the Book of Enoch, we follow one o...

China and the Philippines are confronting each other over one of the most strategically important bodies of water on Earth—and the tension is no longer confined to ships at sea. In this episode of the Mama Rae Podcast, we break down the escalating dispute in the South China Sea, the Philippines’ legal position, China’s rejection of the landmark 2016 international arbitration ruling, and why encoun...

Jurors who heard Patrick Clancy’s 911 call have described his reaction after discovering his children as horrifying, visceral and unforgettable. But an emotional reaction—even an extraordinarily powerful one—is not the same thing as forensic evidence. So I went back to the testimony with a very specific question: What does the 911 recording actually corroborate? Patrick testified that after findin...

The Lindsay Clancy trial ended in a mistrial—but the conversation surrounding this case is far from over. Now, jurors are beginning to speak publicly about what happened behind closed doors during nearly 40 hours of deliberations. Multiple jurors have described an apparent 11–1 division , with eleven jurors prepared to find Lindsay Clancy not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility. Ac...

Why would God allow evil to remain? That question takes us deeper into our investigation of the Book of Enoch—and into another ancient text that may help us understand what happened after the rebellion of the Watchers. In Part 7 of the Mama Rae Podcast’s investigation into the Book of Enoch, we examine Mastema, the mysterious figure described prominently in the Book of Jubilees, and the startling...

You asked me what I think about the Lindsay Clancy case. So I’m finally answering. I did not cover the Lindsay Clancy trial on the Mama Rae Podcast. I watched it as a spectator. Normally, this podcast focuses on stories I believe are not receiving the attention they deserve—or pieces of history and evidence that create what I call a Mama RAE moment: a Reality Aligned Experience. But after enough f...

Ancient history is not finished. In 2026, researchers are still deciphering, reconstructing and reexamining manuscripts connected to the world in which the Book of Enoch circulated—and some of the newest scholarship is opening fascinating new doors in our investigation. In this episode of the Mama Rae Podcast, we return to Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls to examine several important developments....

For five episodes, we’ve investigated the angels who rebelled. The Watchers. Azazel. Shemihazah. The Nephilim. Forbidden knowledge. Judgment. But what about the angels who didn’t fall? In Part 6 of the Mama Rae Podcast’s ongoing investigation into the Book of Enoch and the ancient texts surrounding it, Rachel turns the investigation toward the heavenly beings who remained loyal to God—and discover...

We just published Part 2 of our Nepal–Tibet disaster investigation. But we promised you we would stay on top of this story. And this update cannot wait. In Nepal, the enormous number of dead and missing has created another crisis—one involving religion, culture and the basic human need to say goodbye. Authorities have begun temporarily burying some unidentified victims as morgues and forensic faci...
