Podcast Appearances and Whatzits

Image Design by Jayson Shenk

My presentation for the virtual conference Pan Paracon! I was very happy to be included and this talk was the last one in a great series, make sure to check out the other presentations and panels on that channel. 

I did my best to present a nuanced view of art influencing reality, or perceived reality- and art imitating life as well as the reverse. Where does one end and the other begin? Is that even important? 

The UFO Magic Show


My presentation for Ryan Sprague's virtual conference, Anomacon, was part of roughly 24 hours of presentations from a wide variety of researchers and personalities in the myriad realms of the unexplained. The link above is for Day 2 of the conference, and my presentation begins at 3:47:47. In it, I talk about Ufology as a Mystery School- and drive home the point with magic tricks!

Fahrusha and I talk about the 1977 Broadcast Intrusion from Ashtar Galactic Command as well as other broadcast intrusions and events.

The Our Strange Skies Podcast Episode 86: Alien Incognito Mode with AP Strange

It was a great joy to be a guest on Rob Kristoffersen's awesome podcast Our Strange Skies two weeks in a row! In the first one, we discussed the bizarre and oddly believable story of Carl Higdon and his abduction that occurred during an elk hunt. While preparing for this show, we went down a rabbit hole of sorts related to aliens seen wearing human outfits, and dug up enough Poorly Disguised Alien stories to do a second episode- Alien Incognito Mode! This also inspired me to do a bit of drawing...

Where Did the Road Go? The Very Strange Experiences of AP Strange

I shared some of my personal experiences with Seriah, Chris Ernst, and Saxon aka Super Inframan and we had a wide-ranging chat concerning various other weird subjects. A fun time was had by all!


Where Did the Road Go? Alien Animals!

The book Alien Animals by Janet and Colin Bord had been mentioned during an earlier show, so in this episode I introduced the Bords to Super Inframan and Seriah and also shared stories and ideas from the book. The Bords were amazing and it was a pleasure to share their work on WDTRG!


Tracing Owls Podcast - Secret Cipher of the Bibliomancer with AP Strange!

In this show I talked to Vuk about one of my favorite magical things... Books! We wandered into a great many weird topics, including synchronicities in research, how to conjure hard-to-find books, Ashtar Galactic Command, and other weird things!


Create Magic Podcast - Creative Weirdos: AP Strange- The Donut Always Prevails

Todd Purse is a wonderful artist and gracious host, and it was a pleasure to talk to him about all manner of weirdness. This episode begins with some of my patented Donut Magic, and it only gets weirder from there! Also, I was honored to be the subject of one of Todd's art pieces!


Campfire Tales of the Strange and Unsettling, Fireside Chats: Premonitions, Astral Projection, and Elvis with AP Strange

I talked with Jordan Heath about personal experiences, research into paranormal stuffs, and a bit of philosophy on the nature of time and reality. Oh, and Elvis.




I looked back at 2022 stories of the weird with Seriah, Super Inframan, Chris Ernst, Red Pill Junkie, and Taylor Bell. We got a bit carried away on a few subjects, forcing this to be a two-parter- but it was fun to talk to everyone!



I had the pleasure of chatting with Barbara Fisher about my childhood experiences with poltergeist activity, with a focus on the very strange aspects I hadn't shared before on shows- aspects such as being terrorized by a Muppet and receiving cryptic messages from an entity called Q.

Chris Ernst and I dropped in to talk to Adam and Serfiel about occult themes in movies and pop culture. It was a lot of fun, and we could easily have talked for an additional two hours!


The Our Strange Skies Podcast - Clowning Around with Stephanie Quick and AP Strange (Sam, the Sandown Clown)

This was a very silly and very fun episode to record. Live nude clowns! Birthdays! Emanations from the Clown Realm! A mixed bag of high octane strangeness with abundant laughs and jokes.


Conspirinormal 446 - AP Strange 3 (Exorcism Extravaganza)

I appeared once again to talk to Adam and Serfiel about out-of-the-ordinary cases of exorcism, with a heavy focus on Rev. Donald Omand- the man who exorcised the Bermuda Triangle.



Vuk and I began with the idea of discussing the controversial 1932 film Freaks, but the conversation ended up being far wider in scope as we delicately picked apart the history behind sideshows, performance, and exploitation. 



I had a great time talking with Steve, and we went all over the map - Batman synchronicities, meat showers, and all manner of weird stuff! Also, many laughs!


Where Did the Road Go? - Exploring the Goblin Universe

Anthony Tyler from the Black Hoodie Alchemist podcast and I join Seriah to discuss the Fortean classic The Goblin Universe, by F. W. "Ted" Holiday. The book is often overlooked, and has been out of print for decades. We revisit Holiday's writing as well as Colin Wilson's extensive introduction, and have a wide-ranging discussion on the implications presented by the book.


9781854800817: The Goblin Universe

Where Did the Road Go? Exploring Theosophy

Chris Ernst and I returned to talk with Seriah about the very complicated history of Theosophy and its founder, Madame Helena P. Blavatsky. My goal was to clarify some common misconceptions about Blavatsky and her role in the history of modern occultism, but everything about her and her system of esoteric thought is so convoluted we could have talked for days without even getting to it all. I was very nervous going into this chat, as I am not an expert on the subject- but I think we did ok!


Project Archivist Episode 355 Weird Elvis with Steph and A. P. Strange

I'm always happy to talk about Weird Elvis stuff, and for the return episode of Project Archivist my good friend Stephanie Quick and I covered a variety of topics- Elvis Cults, the Church of Elvis, UFOs and Elvis, Elvis as a weather magician... you name it! TCB, baby!


Some Other Sphere Episode 103 - AP Strange - Master of Mystical Flapdoodle

It was a great pleasure to return to Some Other Sphere to catch up with Rick Palmer, who was kind enough to extend the very first podcast invitation to me several years back. We got into a number of subjects, speculating on the weird nature of all manner of odd phenomena.


Binnall of America The Revival- Matt Hopewell (AP Strange) Eccentrics, Oddities, and Puzzling Paranormalia 

Tim Binnall and I spend two hours discussing clowns, UFOs, donuts, Lord Timothy Dexter, Emperor Norton, and the possibility of a Binnall spin-off show where he reacts to questionable foods. A fun chat indeed!


Vayse - VYS0037 | Elvis With a Flaming Sword - Vayse to Face with AP Strange

I talked with Peter C. Hine and Stephen James Buckley about all manner of things, including my own personal experiences with the wyrd, Messages From the Cosmos, UFO stuff, spirituality, and ghosts.

38 - AP Strange, Tim Boucher, and the Hunt for Greedo's Killer ***

I interview Tim Boucher about conspiracy theories and the malleability of reality, how things have changed with the advent of social media, and the disturbing possibility that George Lucas caused a timeline rift resulting in the Mandela Effect (herein renamed the MacClunkey Effect).

        ***Although this episode is no longer available, you can read about how George Lucas     split the timeline and created the Mandela Effect in my eBook, Strange Words for a Weird World, available HERE.

39 - Maighdlin Kelly (Weird Astrology) on Ingo Swann and Remote Viewing

Maighdlin Kelly does some really interesting and great work creating natal charts for Fortean events and personalities, and when they suggested doing a show about the astrology of Ingo Swann I couldn't resist! We did our own little remote viewing experiment with this show, and got into some great and weird conversation about a variety of paranormal topics.

EP 40 - INTERVIEW Shane of the Q Files Podcast 

It was a spooky season treat to chat with Shane McClelland about ghosts, investigation, and inclusivity in the paranormal world. I'm a big fan of the show he does with Lori Gum, The Q Files - so if you haven't already, check it out!

41 - Claudia, The Void, and Mexico

Claudia and I discuss liminality in Mexico, strange tales and the legend of la llarona, in contrast with popular depictions. We also discuss the Day of the Dead, and a bit of Mexican history as well as Claudia's own experiences.

42 - Allen Greenfield Talks with AP Strange and Chelle

The one and only Allen Greenfield joined Chelle and I to talk about his recently released book The Grail Within: The True Quest for the Holy Grail and the Western Sex Magick Tradition , and also wild tales of his days as a teen ufologist. He also sang. A bunch. We had a lot of laughs with Allen and I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity.

43 - Whibble About Dribble with StarDoG

A fun and fascinating conversation with our good friend StarDoG, who tells tales of strange vortices, the Bison conspiracy, the troubles with time travel, and the Curse of the Fire Demon. Many laughs were had fnord and many subjects covered.

44 - Mortellus' New Book and Pizza Shop Adventure Stories

Chelle and I had a great chat with Mortellus, that ranged from their stories about adventures for food in their carnie days to the Evil of Turkeys, weird history around food, and othersuch tangents. We did talk a bit about their yet-to-be released new book, and a bit about their first book Do I Have to Wear Black? 

47 - Stephanie Quick, Professor WHAM, and Egregores... Oh My?

On this episode we talked with the power duo of Stephanie Quick and Professor WHAM about the concept of egregores, which led to a far-ranging discussion about a variety of human experiences and perceptions. In addition, WHAM shared some killer personal accounts.

Amy Blackthorn told us about their new book and upcoming projects. We had a great discussion about protection magic, which led to a broader discussion about magic and navigating life.
