    Mar 28 2025
    1182 Dr. Avi Loeb on the Hunt for ‘Oumuamua’s Truth In this electrifying episode of Strange Planet, Richard plunges into the cosmic abyss with Dr. Avi Loeb, Harvard’s fearless astrophysicist who dared to call ‘Oumuamua—our solar system’s cigar-shaped intruder—an alien probe. While skeptics scoffed, Loeb doubled down, launching the Galileo Project to hunt for extraterrestrial relics in our skies, seas, and beyond. With UAPs now a government-confirmed mystery, his radical ideas feel eerily prescient. Was ‘Oumuamua a scout from a civilization long gone, or a silent sentinel still watching? Could ancient probes lurk beneath our oceans, or has humanity been broadcasting to a universe that’s already moved on? From metallic spheres in the Pacific to potential lunar monoliths, Loeb’s quest blends hard science with cosmic wonder, challenging us to confront the unknown. Tune in as Richard and Dr. Loeb unravel the enigma of our place among the stars—prepare for a mind-bending ride into the infinite. GUEST: Dr. Avi Loeb is the Baird Professor of Science at Harvard University, former chair of its astronomy department, and author of Extraterrestrial and Interstellar. A visionary astrophysicist, he leads the Galileo Project, seeking alien technology, sparked by ‘Oumuamua’s anomalous visit. His work boldly redefines humanity’s cosmic significance.

  • 1180 Inside the Criminal Mind of Luigi Mangione
    Mar 24 2025
    1180 Inside the Criminal Mind of Luigi Mangione In this gripping episode, Richard unravels the chilling case of Luigi Mangione, a well-educated, upper-class young man suspected of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson on December 4, 2024. What drives a seemingly privileged individual to commit such a heinous act? Forensic psychologist Dr. John Brady joins Richard to dissect Mangione’s psyche, drawing parallels to figures like Ted Kaczynski. Was Mangione radicalized by extreme ideologies, fueled by a belief in societal wrongs, or did a deteriorating mental state—possibly linked to COVID-induced "brain fog"—push him over the edge? Dr. Brady explores offender typologies, Machiavellian traits, and the psychological jigsaw puzzle of a man whose personality shifted dramatically before the crime. From incriminating writings to a warped sense of justice, this episode delves into the mind of a killer and asks: How does a dream of utopia twist into a nightmare of violence? GUEST: Dr. John Brady is a renowned forensic psychologist with over 25 years of experience analyzing the motivations behind heinous crimes. Having provided expert testimony in numerous high-profile criminal cases, Dr. Brady has worked alongside top defense attorneys, prosecutors, judges, private investigators, and even perpetrators. He is the author of six acclaimed books, including Psychological DNA: A Cold Case Analysis of Who Killed Robert F. Kennedy, drawn from his extensive clinical work and court records. His upcoming book examines the psyche of Lee Harvey Oswald. Known for his deep insights into deviant causation and offender typologies, Dr. Brady’s expertise sheds light on why individuals surrender to violent impulses, offering a unique perspective on the complex interplay of mental states, ideology, and criminal behavior.

  • 1178 CIA Kill List: Is a Journalist’s Exile the Price of Exposing a Pandemic Plot?
    Mar 19 2025
    1178 CIA Kill List: Is a Journalist’s Exile the Price of Exposing a Pandemic Plot? Buckle up for a mind-bending descent into the abyss of government overreach and covert vengeance. In this explosive episode, investigative journalist Janet Phelan unveils a jaw-dropping tale of transnational repression that sounds ripped from a dystopian thriller—except she claims it’s her reality. Filing an injunction against the CIA in June 2024, Phelan alleges a relentless campaign of chemical assaults, medical sabotage, and judicial stonewalling by U.S. authorities, all tied to her decades-long probe into judicial corruption and a chilling theory: a hidden pandemic delivery system poised to strike. From the mysterious death of her mother at the hands of an undercover fed to her exile in Mexico, her story is a volatile cocktail of courage, conspiracy, and controversy. Is she a fearless truthteller hunted by the deep state, or a lightning rod for skepticism? One thing’s certain—this episode will leave you questioning where the line between paranoia and persecution truly lies. GUEST: Janet Phelan is an intrepid investigative journalist and author whose relentless pursuit of truth has thrust her into the eye of a storm. With a pedigree from UC Berkeley’s East Asian Studies program and the University of Missouri’s Graduate School of Journalism, her bylines have graced the Los Angeles Times, the San Bernardino County Sentinel, and beyond. Since 2004, she’s carved a niche in independent media, exposing judicial corruption, elder abuse, and shadowy government ops. Her books, including EXILE and At the Breaking Point of History, fuse personal saga with intelligence exposés, predicting pandemics and global conflicts with eerie precision. Now living in Mexico after fleeing the U.S., Phelan has filed a bombshell injunction against the CIA, alleging chemical attacks and systemic silencing. A whistleblower to some, a provocateur to others, she remains a fierce advocate for human rights—and a lightning rod for debate.

    Mar 17 2025
    1177 Quantum Faith: Did Jesus Unlock the Secrets of Reality? Get ready for a mind-bending conversation where faith meets quantum physics! Richard Syrett welcomes bestselling author Shilo Creed to explore a radical idea: What if Jesus’ teachings weren’t just metaphors, but literal quantum mechanics in action? Could the Observer Effect explain how faith moves mountains? Is quantum entanglement the key to understanding prayer? And are those in power secretly using these principles to manipulate reality itself? Shilo’s latest Christian sci-fi thriller, Plunged (The Three Worlds), dives deep into these questions, following a Navy SEAL who accidentally crosses into a hidden spiritual dimension. From biblical technology to the “God Particle,” this episode uncovers the shocking ways modern physics aligns with ancient scripture. If faith truly shapes reality, what does that mean for the future—and who might be trying to control it? GUEST: Shilo Creed is a bestselling author and multiple gold medal-winning novelist whose books have sold over 1.4 million copies. Blending faith, science, and high-stakes adventure, her work explores the hidden connections between quantum physics, biblical truth, and the supernatural.

  • 1175 Unmasking the Climate Hoax: CO2, Lies, and the Fight for Truth
    Mar 12 2025
    1175 Unmasking the Climate Hoax: CO2, Lies, and the Fight for Truth For decades, we’ve been fed a dire narrative: climate change will drown us, scorch us, and end life as we know it—all because of CO2. But what if that’s a lie built on shaky science and hidden agendas? In this explosive episode, Richard welcomes geologist and CO2 Coalition Executive Director Gregory Wrightstone, author of Inconvenient Facts, who dismantles the climate myth machine. He reveals how the EPA’s Endangerment Finding strangles industries like coal and manufacturing, how flawed models exaggerate disaster, and why rising CO2 is actually greening the planet and boosting crops—not destroying it. From the economic wreckage of anti-fossil fuel policies to the political weaponization of science, Gregory exposes the elites’ push for control under the guise of saving Earth. Tired of fear-driven propaganda? Want hard data over hysteria? This is the unfiltered truth they don’t want you to hear! GUEST: Gregory Wrightstone is a geologist with over 35 years of experience studying Earth’s processes. He holds a B.S. from Waynesburg University and an M.S. from West Virginia University, both in geology. As Executive Director of the CO2 Coalition, he advocates for a science-based approach to climate policy. Wrightstone is the bestselling author of Inconvenient Facts: The Science That Al Gore Doesn’t Want You to Know and A Very Convenient Warming, challenging mainstream climate narratives with data-driven insights. A frequent media guest, he’s appeared on platforms like Fox News and The Daily Wire, emphasizing CO2’s benefits to humanity and the planet.
