Episode 246: Age of Doppelgangers feat Naomi Klein

We are joined by Quinn Slobodian — author of Crack-Up Capitalism: Market Radicals and the Dream of a World Without Democracy — to discuss the libertarian extremism that forms the intellectual foundation for right-wing movements. We can see how the fringe beliefs of anarcho-capitalists — like Murray Rothbard (neo-confederate secessionist) and David Friedman (medieval LARPer) — are gaining broader influence, even becoming mainstream. On one hand, they are raving lunatics, ideological zealots, and explicit racists. On the other hand, the utopias they desire can be found manifested in the zones and policies — like gated communities and gutted education systems — that have been surging for decades.

FLORES 2024

We finally did a UFO episode, and it’s our retelling of one of the most confounding and mysterious cases on record: The Socorro Saucer. This case has all the makings of a cognitive conundrum: a credible main witness (Lonnie Zamora), secondary witnesses, physical evidence, the Air Force classifying it as unknown, and a lack of convincing alternate explanations. This UFOlogical tale is told in parallel with the story of the Jacques Cousteau of UFOs (and channeler of ascended masters), the swaggiest researcher of them all, Ray Stanford… who also found dinosaurs in a NASA parking lot. Featuring an interview with journalist skeptic-believer D. Dean Johnson.

The Spectral Voyager Episode 6: The Socorro Saucer (Sample)

In past QAA cryptid episodes, we typically find a creature thought to be real, but then is later debunked by modern science.  For this week’s Spectral Voyager, we thought it would be interesting to do the opposite:  Start with a creature once believed to be a myth, until scientists were able to actually prove its existence.  The Giant Squid has fascinated Jake since he was a young boy, and he, Brad, and Julian will pour through the animal’s legendary sightings dating all the way back to the fifteen hundreds.  Follow us along on the nearly five hundred year journey to prove the existence of one of the greatest mysteries the ocean has to offer us.  We’ll also be exploring the Mokele-Mbembe in Brad’s “Cryptid Corner” – a potentially prehistoric reptile that might very well haunt Lake Tele, deep in the jungles of Africa.

Tik Tok get their hands on the deaf blind historical figure and the results are confounding. Liv once again takes us down a maddening path into the viral joke / rumor / conspiracy theory that Helen Keller either wasn't real or was faking her disability. Apologies in advance.
