Two brothers explore the mysteries of the ages, the ancients, and the modern day
Drew joins us for the final episode on his collection of tales about little people, fae folk, and pygmies, this time from the Americas. It is amazing to hear the striking similarities with stories from the other side of the world.
Thanks to Troy for the episode art!
We discuss some recent scientific discoveries in detail, reading from articles and the source papers about ancient solar storms that caused a massive increase in Carbon 14 in the atmosphere, and fossil prints at White Sands that definitively breaks the "Clovis First" model of the peopling of the Americas.
In the final segment we discuss a bit about where our minds are at regarding all these mysteries, as well as future plans for exploration on the podcast and in the field.
Hard to believe we've published 300 2+ hour episodes! Thanks for sticking with us, there's more to come!

Our guest this week, Heather Shy, has degrees in business and finance, but her true calling is in spiritual and physical healing using meditation and hypnosis visualization techniques to access the "Akashic Records" and ancestral knowledge. Heather is also an accomplished astrologer. We discuss the connections between these different techniques, and the philosophical implications of the existence this kind of access to information.

This week Drew takes us through the Arthur Conan Doyle saga with the fairies, and how he fell for hoaxed photographs....but we also read some of Doyle's writings on the subject of fae encounters, and they seem entirely rational.
We then spend some time reading and discussing the topic of Homo Floresiensis, also known as the "hobbits" of the island of Flores. There are tales of encounters with "little people" that persist on this island to this day, despite the fact that the fossil evidence of these "hobbit" people is at least 12,000 years old, and perhaps as old as 50,000 years.
We then move on to tales from Japan, with very similar themes, trickster beings that can be beneficial as long as the humans interacting with them abide by their word.
We will be performing at Howl at the Holler for the annular Eclipse on October the 14th, see the link for details:
