Delainy Bowers: Monster Among Us Junior/Folklore In Real Time

This week, the brilliant Delainy Bowers is back on the show to talk to us about her podcast Monsters Among Us Junior! This is such a fun show, and Delainy is the perfect host for such an endeavor. I also take the opportunity to ask Delainy (since she's a professional folklorist) about how folklore unfolds in real time. We also get into some of the socio-cultural highlights of what folklore can represent. Such a fun conversation. I hope you all enjoy it!Love, Steve For more Delainy Bowers:https://www.monstersamonguspodcast.com/mau-juniorhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIfmHITvf4XKUMlz3G6BNbAhttps://open.spotify.com/show/1bh5mWa4lDSqeMMX1mYxDZhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/monsters-among-us-junior/id1764989478Steve Berg LInks:https://www.patreon.com/HiStrangenesslinktr.ee/stevebergWebsite: https://www.histrangenesspod.com/Web design: Sonia LenardonPretty please subscribe and leave a review!

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.

HI there, friends! This week, David Metcalfe joins me for a good, old fashioned, deep deep deep dive in the UFO game. We get into the socio-cultural implications, how the phenomenon evolves, the mainstream normalization, narratives, trends, tricksterism, and much much more. David, to me, is one of the great modern minds when it comes to the topics we cover on this show. The only reason I waited to have him on, is that I wanted to be ready for him. I think I was, I hope. David is real gem - such an honor to have him on for this lengthy discussion. I hope you enjoy it as much as i did!Love, Steve For more David Metcalfe:teepublic.com/user/david-b-metcalfethe-message.bandcamp.comdavidmetcalfe.wordpress.comindependent.academia.edu/DavidMetcalfe/AboutSteve Berg LInks:https://www.patreon.com/HiStrangenesslinktr.ee/stevebergWebsite: https://www.histrangenesspod.com/Web design: Sonia LenardonPretty please subscribe and leave a review!

HI friends! This week, my guest is the legendary fringe culture author, Robert Guffey! Robert has been writing about conspiracy culture for years now, and has contributed a lot wildly fascinating stories, books, magazine articles to this field of interest. On this episode, we spend most of the time discussing his new book Hollywood Haunts the World, which focuses on encoded cinema and cultural taboos. I don't want to spoil too much here, but we get into intel agencies involvement in screenwriting, things you can say in fiction, but not in real life, and a whole lot more. Being a deep fan of cinema history, I have to say that this one hit the spot perfectly for me.
