| From Skeptic to Medium: How My Mother's Death Changed Everything ๐ฎ | 17 Oct 2024 | 00:44:00 | |
๐ฎ From Skeptic to Medium: How My Mother's Death Changed Everything ๐ฎ In July 2023, my mother died suddenly after a tragic accident. At 12:01 PM, driving an hour away, I felt her passโand I was right to the minute. Something inside me shifted that would change everything. I'm Matt, a 40-year-old gardener from Norfolk who grew up with a spiritual mum but became deeply skeptical. I never believed in mediums or psychic abilitiesโdespite being surrounded by it. But grief cracks things open. In this episode:
This podcast is for anyone navigating sudden loss, questioning their own experiences, or wondering what happens when your worldview gets completely upended.

| My First Psychic Reading: Red Car, Yellow Car ๐ฎ | 22 Oct 2024 | 00:46:30 | |
๐ฎ My First Psychic Reading: Red Car, Yellow Car ๐ฎ Two months after my mother's death, I walked into a spiritual awareness course in a creaky 1930s church that smelled of mothballsโskeptical, grieving, and terrified someone would think I'd joined a cult. I'm Matt, and this is the story of my first psychic reading. The one where I told a complete stranger about a holly bush outside her kitchen, an ornate lamp that belonged to her nan, and two carsโone red, one yellowโthat I had no business knowing about. In this episode:
This episode is for anyone who's ever felt something they couldn't explain, dismissed their own intuition, or wondered if grief was making them see things that weren't there.

| My First Mediumship Reading ๐ฎ | 07 Nov 2024 | 00:34:01 | |
๐ฎ My First Mediumship Reading๐ฎ Bonfire Night 2023. My partner's cousin Sarah is visiting, and she asks me to do something I've never done beforeโa psychic reading outside the safety of my development circle. For someone I actually know. ๐จ Cue panic! What if everything I say is just stuff I already know? What if it's all in my head? What if I embarrass myself in front of family? But then something shifts. A grandfather comes throughโsomeone I've never met, know almost nothing about. Suddenly I'm describing a shot glass of whiskey, children playing too close to the fireplace... and a very specific habit of tapping feet and balancing slippers on toes. When I open my eyes, there are tears. "You couldn't have known that, Matt..." In this episode, I share my first reading outside circleโthe nerves, the self-doubt, the unexpected breakthrough, and why I spent the next two weeks focusing on what I got wrong instead of celebrating what I got right. Plus: I introduce "psychic charades"โmy way of understanding how spirit communication actually works. This is evidential mediumship in real-time, messy doubts and all. โจ Join me as I step outside my comfort zone โจ Matt x ๐ฎ _______________________________________ _______________________________________ Intro Music: Happy Day by Top Flow Outro Music: Please Calm My Mind by Lesfm | |||
| Doubt to Confidence: "I'm Good At This!" ๐ฎ | 12 Nov 2024 | 00:33:20 | |
๐ฎ Doubt to Confidence: "I'm Good At This!" ๐ฎ It's 5 in the morning. I'm wide awake in the back bedroom, trying not to wake my partner. I can't sleep because something just shifted. ๐๐ This weekend, I stood before 30+ strangers and delivered messages from spirit. Twice. Then the very next night, I led my first online mediumship service via Zoom. Three more readings. All successful. But here's the thingโbefore each one, I was convinced I'd freeze. Convinced nothing would come through. Convinced I'd humiliate myself. In this raw, spontaneous episode (recorded in real-time at 5am), I share:
This is the episode where doubt becomes belief. Where "what if I fail?" becomes "I actually did it." If you've ever struggled with self-doubt on your spiritual journeyโor any journeyโthis one's for you.

| Crystals for Mediumship: What They Really Do (with Charlotte Leech) ๐ฎ | 22 May 2025 | 00:48:22 | |
๐ฎ Talking Crystals with Charlotte Leech ๐ฎ To me, crystals were just pretty stones. But not anymore. In this episode of The Psychic Explorer, I sit down with Charlotte Leech โ crystal expert, developing medium, and founder of Out of the Earth Crystals โ to explore how crystal energy can support mediumship development, why intention matters more than the rulebook, and how to cleanse and charge crystals properly. Charlotte also makes a compelling case that crystals aren't just placebo โ because animals don't lie. We also touch on chakras, lepidolite for stress and anxiety, and the fascinating world of lithomancy.

๐ฎ What "No" Really Means in Mediumship (And Why It's Not a Failure) ๐ฎ What do you do when a sitter looks at you and says... no? In this solo episode of The Psychic Explorer, I get honest about the nos โ the mediumship readings that fell flat, the confidence dip that followed, and what I've learned about using rejection as a tool rather than a verdict. I talk through why nos happen during psychic and mediumship development, how to reframe them in the moment, and how to know when you're just not in the right headspace to read at all. Plus a beautiful spirit-inspired poem from listener Janice to close things out.

๐ฎChildhood Psychic Experiences: Recognizing the Early Signs ๐ฎ Ever wondered if your childhood psychic experiences were real? As a psychic medium, I'm looking back at three powerful spirit encounters from my childhood that I can now recognize as genuine spiritual protection. I share: โจ Feeling a spirit's breath on my neck before difficult school days โจ Seeing a woman in black who never frightened me โจ My grandfather's spirit protecting me during a dangerous accident This episode also explores how childhood bullying and trauma can block psychic abilities - and why I buried these spiritual awakening experiences for decades.

๐ฎ Facing the Fear: My First Platform Mediumship Event ๐ฎ Recording on the day after turning 41, I'm revisiting one of the most terrifying moments of my mediumship journey โ my very first platform event. Called at almost no notice, with no time to prepare and every reason to say no, I said yes anyway. What followed was a day of near-nausea, self-doubt, and trying not to think about standing up in front of 30 strangers to channel messages from their loved ones. In this solo episode, I share exactly what happened, what I felt, and what I took away from the experience โ including the one lesson that has stayed with me ever since: get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

In this episode, Julie demystifies Reiki and holistic therapy from the ground up โ what they actually are, how they work alongside conventional medicine, and how she tailors treatments for each person. From reflexology to lymphatic drainage, crystal healing to aromatherapy, Julie explains how she listens first and lets the energy go where it needs to. We also talk about finding your tribe when your family doesn't understand your path โ and why sometimes the most healing thing you can offer someone is simply to listen.

This bonus episode is a guided meditation designed to help you gently explore and strengthen your intuitive senses โ your clairvoyance, clairsentience and clairaudience. Over around 30 minutes, I'll take you on a journey through a house created entirely by your own mind โ engaging every sense along the way, and leading you to a room where someone who loves you may be waiting. You don't need to be psychic to do this. You just need somewhere quiet and half an hour to yourself.

๐ฎ Psychic Myths Debunked: What Mediumship Really Feels Like ๐ฎ Do psychics see dead people like in the movies? Can you win the lottery if you're gifted? And is there actually an on/off switch for mediumship abilities? In this episode I tackle the questions I get asked most โ and the ones I asked myself before stepping into this world. From Hollywood myths to the genuine subtlety of how psychic and mediumship work actually feels, I pull back the curtain on what it's really like to receive and interpret information from spirit. Whether you're curious, sceptical, or somewhere on your own development journey, this one's for you.

๐ฎ When Your Sexuality and Spirituality Are Interwoven (with Delana Luna) ๐ฎ What happens when your sexuality and your spirituality are so deeply entwined they can't be separated? In this episode of The Psychic Explorer, I sit down with Delana Luna โ spirit-led artist, tarot reader, shamanic practitioner and PhD researcher โ for one of the most layered and intellectually rich conversations I've had on this podcast. Delana opens up about coming out as both queer and spiritual, what demisexuality and asexuality really mean, and how other people's comfort zones become barriers to your authenticity. We explore the LGBTQ+ experience through a spiritual lens, the tension between fitting in and being fully yourself, and why the pressures placed on both your sexuality and your spirituality are more similar than you might think. You don't have to be queer to take something away from this one. I promise.

This mini episode is about what happens when life forces you to stop. The burnout, the disconnection from spiritual practice, the readings that haven't felt quite right. And why sometimes that pause is exactly what's needed. I also pull a card โ completely randomly โ and it turns out to feature a full moon. This episode happened to go out on a full moon.

In this episode I sit down with Nicola Ghigi, spiritual medium, energy healer and founder of the Norfolk Spiritual Centre, who has been on her own spiritual journey for over 30 years. Nicola shares how her path began following the passing of her mother, and what she's learned about psychic and mediumship development in the decades since. We cover what a development circle actually is, the difference between open and closed circles, who they're for, and what to realistically expect if you're thinking about attending one for the first time. Nicola also shares the moment that changed her perspective on mediumship entirely โ and the advice she gives every new student: "comparison is the thief of joy." _______________________________________ Nicola's Links: _______________________________________ Matt's Links; _______________________________________ Intro Music: Happy Day by Top Flow Outro Music: Please Calm My Mind by Lesfm | |||

๐ฎ Meditation Without the Rules ๐ฎ Meditation doesn't have to look the way you think it does. In this solo episode, recorded on a walk through the Norfolk countryside, I share my honest journey with meditation โ the four months of regular practice that genuinely transformed my psychic work, why it fell apart, and why I've stopped feeling guilty about it. Because here's the thing: if you zone out while gardening, lose yourself in a book, or find peace on a walk โ you're already meditating. You just might not be calling it that. I also stumble upon a stunning ruined flint church and take you through a short, spontaneous meditation right there in the churchyard. This one's for anyone who's ever felt like they're doing it wrong. You're not. ๐ง Bonus episode dropping right after this: a guided meditation to help you develop your clairs โ no experience needed. _______________________________________ _______________________________________ Matt's Favourite Meditation Music: 528 Hz DNA Repair Frequency by Yevhenii Khonin Intro Music: Happy Day by Top Flow Outro Music: Please Calm My Mind by Lesfm | |||

And the one-year anniversary of The Psychic Explorer! ๐ To mark both occasions, I'm joined by Jono Angelo โ paranormal investigator, psychic medium, and my very first male guest. Jono has been on close to a hundred paranormal investigations, and in this episode he takes me through the mechanics of what actually happens when you go looking for the unseen. We get into why some spirits get stuck and don't cross over, what different types of dark and negative energies actually are, and Jono shares the story of the feeling of being physically stabbed by an entity during a house investigation in Lowestoft. We also get into whether science can ever truly explain the paranormal โ and the honest answer might surprise you. I'm still sitting on the fence with some of this. But Jono makes a compelling case for why every developing medium should experience a paranormal investigation.

๐ฎ Spiritual Disconnection: Reconnecting in the Scottish Highlands๐ฎ Sometimes life gets very 'lifey'. And sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is borrow your dad's camper van, drive 460 miles north and let Scotland do its thing. ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ Before this trip I was feeling spiritually disconnected โ and I'll be honest, that felt like something I probably shouldn't admit given I host a podcast about mediumship. But this is an honest podcast, and these things ebb and flow. In this solo episode I take you with me through the Scottish Highlands, reflect on the pressure we put on ourselves to be "spiritual" 24/7, and pull a card at sunrise on a wild Scottish beach with a message for anyone whose connection has gone quiet.

๐ฎ Choosing Your Words as a Developing Medium โ with Celebrant Judy Wayman๐ฎ Words can heal. They can also devastate. I learnt that the hard way during a mediumship circle, when I blurted out the wrong word to someone I care about โ and I've never forgotten it. That experience led me to Judy Wayman, a Norfolk celebrant and founder of Moonstone Ceremonies โ and someone I know personally, because Judy led my mum's funeral. She has a gift for finding the exact words that honour a life, bring a room together, and sometimes, channel something beyond herself. In this episode, Judy and I explore the deep parallels between celebrancy and mediumship โ both of us, in different ways, speaking to the unseen. We talk about grief, storytelling, shamanism, and why the words we choose in our most vulnerable moments matter more than we realise. Whether you're a developing medium, working with the bereaved, or simply someone who's ever struggled to find the right words โ this one's for you.

๐ฎ Channeling Spirit Guides: Kim Charlson Lets Monty Speak๐ฎ In this episode of The Psychic Explorer Podcast, I sit down with Kim Charlson โ a semi-conscious trance channeler who works with her spirit guide, Monty. Kim explains the key difference between channeling and evidential mediumship, why channeling can't offer the same kind of proof, but why that doesn't make it any less real. She shares how her first spontaneous channeling experience left her thinking she'd lost her mind โ and how she found her way back to trusting it. We also go live: Monty joins the conversation directly, sharing his perspective on spirit teams, soul experiences, and what it means to exist in physical form. If you're curious about trance channeling, spirit guide communication, or the difference between your inner voice and external guidance, this episode gives you a grounded and honest place to start. _______________________________________ _______________________________________ Instagram: www.instagram.com/the.psychic.explorer Threads: www.threads.net/@the.psychic.explorer Facebook: The Psychic Explorer _______________________________________ Intro Music: Happy Day by Top Flow Outro Music: Please Calm My Mind by Lesfm | |||

๐ฎ Making Space for Love (with a Valentine's meditation) ๐ฎ In this Valentineโs Special, I reflect on what it means to choose love in a world that can often feel overwhelming, divided, and frightening. Rather than turning away from the discomfort, this episode explores how small, everyday acts of kindness โ a smile, a conversation, a moment of empathy โ can quietly create powerful ripples. I share inspiring audio clips, personal reflections on powerlessness and hope, and how mediumship continually returns me to the same core message: empathy, apology, and love. The second half of the episode offers a gentle Valentineโs meditation designed to help you hold love for yourself and extend that love to someone else โ whether a loved one, a stranger, or someone youโre finding difficult to understand. A soft, grounding episode about choosing presence, compassion, and connection, even in uncertain times. _______________________________________ Instagram: www.instagram.com/the.psychic.explorer Threads: www.threads.net/@the.psychic.explorer Facebook: The Psychic Explorer _______________________________________ Intro Music: Happy Day by Top Flow Outro Music: Please Calm My Mind by Lesfm Meditation Music: Celestial Prayer Heavenly Meditation Peaceful Music by Denis-Pavlov-Music Meditation Sound Effetcs: Evening Nature with Crickets, Birds and Distant Dogs โ Part 2 by Eryliaa | |||

We also get into the nuts and bolts: how dowsing rods actually work, the honest limitations of ghost hunting equipment, and why Joolz started Spirit Norwich after years of public investigations weren't the right fit. Joolz brings 20 years of experience to this conversation, and her approach โ calm, respectful, evidence-focused โ really shines here.

๐ฎ Doubt, Trust & Laughter: Reflecting on One Year of Mediumship ๐ฎ A year in. Over 20 episodes. And I'm still not entirely sure I know what I'm doing โ but I know a lot more than I did. To mark the first anniversary of The Psychic Explorer, I handed the mic to my previous guests and let them ask the questions. What came back was a mix of the profound, the personal, and the genuinely hilarious โ covering grief, spiritual awakening, trust in mediumship, how this path changes you, ghost stories, and what dessert my mediumship would be. No, really. Honest answer: it's a soufflรฉ. And if you want to know why, you'll have to listen. If you're somewhere on this mediumship development journey โ or just thinking about taking those first steps as a developing medium โ I hope this one reminds you that doubt, inconsistency, and the occasional cringe are all part of it.

| When Grief Opens the Door to Mediumship (with Hayley Cossey) ๐ฎ | 06 Nov 2025 | 00:41:52 | |
๐ฎ When Grief Opens the Door to Mediumship (with Hayley Cossey) ๐ฎ Can grief be the thing that opens you up to mediumship? Or does it get in the way? It's a question that's sat with me since the very early days of this podcast. In this episode, I invite my lovely friend and fellow developing medium Hayley Cossey to share her story โ because when she told me she'd first come to circle to connect with her father after his passing, I knew we needed to have this conversation. Hayley trained as a Reiki therapist and oracle card reader and now runs Healing To Become, helping others find inner harmony through body, mind and spirit. But it all began with grief โ and what started as a longing to reach her dad became the foundation of her entire mediumistic development. Her answers changed my thinking on this. Genuinely.

| Your Ghost Stories: Real Paranormal Experiences for Halloween (with Jono Angelo) ๐ฎ | 22 Oct 2025 | 01:04:24 | |
๐ฎ Your Ghost Stories: Real Paranormal Experiences for Halloween (with Jono Angelo) ๐ฎ In this special episode of The Psychic Explorer, paranormal investigator Jono Angelo is back to help me go through the ghost stories you've sent in. And they are properly good. We hear from Sajid, who came face to face with a Victorian apparition in a care home. Kerry, whose family's converted stable house had a poltergeist with a taste for loft ladders. Charlie, with two stories โ one from a London back bedroom, one from a very old house in rural France. Nicola (yes, from episode 12) with a childhood encounter involving a locked attic and a set of Scale Electrics running on their own. And Graham, whose experience at an Irish holiday park โ and what the CCTV didn't show โ is the one that's stayed with me. Jono brings both psychic insight and a healthy dose of scepticism to each story. We also get into the power of suggestion, priming, pareidolia, and whether new builds can really be haunted. Spoiler: yes, they can.

| 31: Comparison is the Thief of Joy ๐ฎ | 12 Mar 2026 | 00:23:56 | |
๐ฎ Comparison is the Thief of Joy ๐ฎ How authentic are you โ really? Not just in your mediumship, but in how you show up in every area of your life? After months of chasing algorithms, comparing myself to other creators and losing my joy in the process, I hit reset! This episode is an honest reflection on what happens when comparison steals your joy, and what it takes to find your way back to yourself. If you're a developing psychic medium, a spiritual seeker, or simply someone who has ever felt the pressure to be someone you're not โ this one's for you. _______________________________________ _______________________________________ Intro Music: Happy Day by Top Flow Outro Music: Matt's recording of Reynisfjara Beach, Iceland | |||
| You Were Born with This | AnneMarie Pisano ๐ฎ | 26 Mar 2026 | 01:06:40 | |
AnneMarie Pisano calls herself the "mundane medium" โ no rituals, no moon water required. Just intention, meditation, and learning to trust what's already within you. AnneMarie is a developing psychic medium and tarot reader from New Jersey whose story I keep coming back to. A lonely childhood, a spiritual life that ebbed and flowed for decades, and then COVID โ which kept her indoors for eighteen months and sparked a profound psychic awakening. We talk clairsentience, pet mediumship, the vision of a waiter that convinced her she was the real deal, and why her core message is so simple: you were born with this.

| Growing into my Mediumship ๐ฎ | 08 Apr 2026 | 00:26:40 | |
Something has shifted. Since my last solo episode on authentic mediumship, my platform work has hit a new level โ deeper evidence, stronger connections, and for the first time, a real sense of comfort in my own skin as a medium. But comfort doesn't mean that I'm finished! In this episode I'm recording from my back garden in Norfolk on a spring evening, reflecting on the work still ahead โ particularly my one-to-one readings โ and why seeking mentorship is itself an act of authenticity. Plus a journal entry written almost exactly a year ago that turned out to be more relevant now than when I wrote it.
