Ever wonder what happens when we lose a beloved furry companion? This episode dives into that very question. It's a raw, freestyle story that came straight from the top of my head, about an old man I see at my security job. He recently lost his old dog, his faithful partner, and he’s now grappling with some profound questions. Do animals have souls? What does it mean to truly be loyal? This man believes his dog had more soul than many people he knows. This story made me think, how do we find our way after loss? What makes a friendship truly special? It's a very different kind of story than you hear on my other show, a bit more introspective. Speaking of my other show... Want to be part of a special episode of Welcome to Earth Stories?

Is the Truth Out There? Or is it Just Toxic? Have you ever wondered what it's like to step into the mind of a conspiracy theorist? Well, Jill from The Afterparty can tell you all about it! She recently had a close encounter with Caspian Flint, the host of Red Flags, Bright Lights - and let's just say he's not winning any congeniality awards. Flint is what you might call… intense. He's got a studio decked out with a fireplace and candles, but he also offers guests a cocktail of scotch, uppers, downers, and mushrooms! And his interview style? Think less "gentle probing" and more "aggressive interrogation", with plenty of personal jabs and innuendos thrown in for good measure. But toxic personality aside, Flint does bring up some fascinating points. Jill discussed some intriguing topics with him, including those strange phone calls, alternate universes, and that mysterious backwards book. Could these things be connected to Season 7 of Welcome to Earth Stories?  And what exactly is Flint looking for through those binoculars? Join me as we explore the fringes of reality. Just try to avoid any strange vitamins or unsolicited relationship advice along the way… Please follow Welcome To Earth Stories After Party on X @ESafterparty and follow them on Spotify.
