| Greg Bishop: The Art of the UFO | 03 Sep 2026 | 01:20:18 | |
Hey hey! I'm back, and with me is my good buddy, and very first guest on Hi, Strangeness, Greg Bishop! Greg is a long time researcher/deep thinker in the UFO game. He's been somewhat of a UFO mentor to me, and his books are essential reading, IMO. On this episode, we get into the limitations of language, art as a means of expressing the UFO experience, and the aimless road of UFO disclosure. This is a fun one! Thanks for everyone's patience as I continue to adjust to a busier work schedule. Deeply appreciated! Enjoy!

| Christopher Graybill and Adam Gorightly (sort of): Saucers, Spooks and Kooks: The Movie | 26 Mar 2026 | 01:16:16 | |
Howdy there - This week my guests are Christopher Graybill and Adam Gorightly! They join the show to discuss their fantastic new documentary, based off Gorightly's book. You guys, I LOVED this film. I've gushed about Adam's book a lot on the show, and this film is every bit as good. Without spoiling too much, this film delves in the misinformation/disinformation in the UFO scene from the early 80's into the present. Not only is this movie a blast, it's also very important if you care at all about the topic of UFOs. As I mention up top, Adam's internet connection quit on him, so the majority of this episode is just Christopher...which turned out to be a great opportunity to hear all of this from the filmmaker's perspective. Also, such a great guy. Enjoy! Get the movie here: https://saucersspooksandkooks.vhx.tv/ Steve Berg LInks: Website: https://www.histrangenesspod.com/ Web design: Sonia Lenardon | |||

| Richard Soule: Nebraska Bigfoot Research | 04 Dec 2025 | 01:20:22 | |
Hey buddies! This week, my guest is Nebraska based bigfoot researcher, Richard Soule. Richard has documented, and researched the bigfoot situation in Nebraska more than anyone else that I'm aware of, and he's got the miles on his boots to prove it. Richard not only documents, but has interacted with these creatures for a good bit now, and he's learned a lot from his boots on the ground research. Almost no one thinks of Nebraska when it comes to bigfoot, but there are a good amount of cases in history, and currently going on today. This is a fun one! Richard also has an incredible website, Nox Gigas, where he keeps all his wonderful documentation and research. It's great stuff. Enjoy!

| Stephanie Quick: Sex Magic and Erotic Mysticism Part One | 20 Nov 2025 | 01:33:14 | |
Howdy partners! This week, coming back for second appearance, is the brilliant Stephanie Quick! Stephanie gave a wonderful and illuminating talk on her Youtube channel recently, which was an overview of sex magic and erotic mysticism, and I thought it was so fascinating that I wanted to do an entire show on the subject. So...I was lucky enough to get Stephanie back on to do an overview of some of the personalities involved. I found this to be a wonderful history lesson for myself, and gave me a way clearer picture of the history, and it's importance. I hope you all enjoy it!

| Jeff Knox: Preserving UFO HIstory | 09 Oct 2025 | 01:18:06 | |
Hey hey hey! This week, my guest is Jeff Knox. Jeff is a wealth of knowledge on UFO history (my favorite kind of history) and has blown me away with his daily Today in UFO History drops on social media. Jeff also has a wildly level headed approach to how he sees the UFO enigma. Skeptical, open-minded, and focused on what we can study: The history. I feel that what he does is one of the most important contributions to the history of UFOs. Go Jeff go! Enjoy, friends.
