PLUS: What is artificial intelligence and what does it mean for the future? Pulitzer-winning columnist Thomas Friedman doesn't know, but that didn't stop him from writing about it.

EPISODE 299: Executed In The Soylent Green Gooning Cave

People convinced their consumption of "sissy hypno" pornography is making them more feminine, turning them gay, forcing them to cross-dress or even convincing them they're trans. Another right wing panic, another bizarre online subculture to explore with Liv Agar. Either that or she hypnotized us.

537: My Name Is Little Lord Fauntleroy

Time Travel.  We’ve all fantasized about what could be possible if we possessed the ability to travel backwards or forwards through time; perhaps to see your favorite band in some small smokey venue before they were famous, or to prevent a horrible tragedy from taking place.  But what if you stumbled upon time travel completely by accident?  Where would you go?  What would you do?  This week, Jake, Brad, and Julian dive into the wondrous case of Mike “Mad Man” Marcum, a Coast to Coast AM caller who claimed to have built a Time Machine on his back porch in 1995.  We’ll follow Mike from his humble beginnings working in a cardboard box factory all the way through his rise to fame as one of Art Bell’s most memorable callers.  And of course, try to answer the most pertinent question of all: Did the madman actually do it?

The Spectral Voyager Episode 3:  Mike “Mad Man” Marcum (Sample)

You can keep your Emily Maitlises and your Frost/Nixons, because Regular Features is finally pivoting to hot hot politics. In fact, we are the only politics podcast that doesn't have a Krishnan Guru-Murthy constantly riding around on an electric scooter in the background, and that's a Regular Features promise.

In this episode, Log introduces us to the Republican Party presidential candidate nominees, thanks to a couple of hypnotic lanyards he found under his pillow one morning. Steve tries to help out his old friend Roger Helmer MEP with a professional calf massage. Remember to vote or something.

538: The Republican Primaries

There is a world that blends ancient arcane arts and algorithm-powered short form video content. That world is "Witch Tok," the community of self-described witches and other supposed wielders of magic who discuss the secrets of their craft on Tik Tok. Liv dives into Witch Tok to reveal how 21st century witches are leveraging social media to swap spells, hawk merch, and engage in occasional infighting. We also discover how christian media is reacting the popularity of online witches and continuing the centuries-old feud between protestants and those they accuse of being occultist devil worshippers.

I'm hungry so this will be a short description. 

In this one, Joe fixes some (very) badly behaving dogs. Steve invite us for a sleepover with "the king of cool" Mister Dean Martin. Log observes us from afar using a telescope.

539: Dogs Kissing (Very) Badly

You are in a egg. Oh it is such a big a egg. But you want to be free of a egg. You crack open the tippy-top of a egg. Oh! It is so bright! It is so frightening! Perhap you would prefer to stay in a egg.

But then your eyes adjust to the light of the world that is not a egg. You see three faces. They are lovely faces, all shaped like a egg. One face is called Steve. He says he will tell you the shipping news, and about an indiscretion with his junk in a park. Another face is called Joe. He regales you about yoghurt. What is yoghurt? Is it also from a egg? The final face is called Log. He tells you about his haunted house, Blyth Manor - and that it contains a egg.

A egg! You must leave. You must leave a egg to find out more about all the a eggs around. It is time.

Money for a egg?

This week we return to The Canal Cafe Theatre for a live show! 
Because it's live, we might sound a bit shitter than usual or refer to something we can see on stage. YOU can fix one of those thing by watching the video version on our YouTube channel. WE can fix the other thing by kicking off with the sound guy.
