Joseph Matheny: Bending Reality With Art

Oooooohh buddies, I have a fascinating episode for you! John Carlson is my guest this week, and it is a doozy. I don't want to say too much in this description, I'll just say this: If you dig portals and otherworldly creatures coming out of said portals, then this episode is for you! Below, I've linked John's six-part (so good!) blog on the events, and I've also attached the original Binnall of America episode (with Tim's permission, of course) with Adam Davies and John. I think you're really going to enjoy this!

Yoooooooo friends! This week, I have on the brilliant, Amanda Paulson! Amanda is a paranormal investigator/content creator who is 10000% the real deal. Amanda is out there experimenting, investigating, researching, and poking the paranormal bear. She's likely the most courageous person I've ever talked to in these Fortean fields. I mean it. So...we obviously get into her experimentations, investigations, and all that good stuff, but we also cover her wildly unique theory entitled the Paranormal Emotive Touchpoint (PET). I found this to be a wonderfully refreshing take on approaching high strangeness, and she was kind enough to share with me her point of view on how to commune with the other. I loved it! Please, do yourself a favor, read up on her theory, and watch her Tiktok for some great videos on her work. I became an instant fan. We also delve into her upcoming documentary - I was lucky enough to peep a screener, and it is fantastic! Enjoy, friends. Love, Steve For more Amanda Paulson:https://linktr.ee/amandadianepaulsonhttps://www.prettyfnspooky.com/https://www.tiktok.com/@prettyfnspookyhttps://www.instagram.com/prettyfnspookySteve Berg LInks:https://www.patreon.com/HiStrangenesslinktr.ee/stevebergPretty please subscribe and leave a review!

Well, howdy there, friends! I'm psyched to share this episode with the great guest, Courtney Block! Courtney is a wildly interesting mind, and has some really interesting perspectives on the paranormal, and the strange and unusual. We chat about haunted libraries, paranormal motifs, and Courtney's journey to where she is now. Since I'm a lover of research, it was amazing to get advice from a true professional. Ah, Courtney is great! I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Hi buds -on this week's episode, I have on documentary filmmaker, Matthew Tannam-Elgie! Matthew popped up on my radar when I heard about his upcoming documentary, MOTHMAN: THE FILM THAT NEVER WAS, about Hollywood film production's attempt to make a feature film (not the Richard Gere version!) out of the Fortean classic, The Mothman Prophecies. The crew shot on-location, in Point Pleasant, WV in the 1990's, and what happened next is bonkers! Without spoiling too much of the upcoming film, Matthew gives us a rundown of what happened, and what we can expect in this exciting new documentary. We also chat about modern para-politics, and other related topics. I'm so excited to see this film!

This week on Hi, Strangeness, I have on writer and transmedia artist Jospeh Matheny! Joseph has created works using alternate reality gaming and transmedia storytelling methods to deliver a new kind of narrative. He's also extremely well versed in high weirdness, the occult, underground art, and so much more. He's truly my kind of artist: A risk taker, esoterically minded, and not afraid to destroy classic narrative structure. I tried to play it cool, because I'm a big fan, but I'm sure you'll hear a couple of geek out moments. Jospeh is one of those Gen X artists who changed the game..literally.
