What if you went missing?  [Rebroadcast #196]

In July 2024, sanitation workers were completing their usual trash route at the abandoned Mother Goose Land amusement park in Canton, Ohio. While emptying the barrels, they uncovered a horrifying sight after noticing a human limb protruding from a bedsheet covered in flies. When authorities arrived, they were unable to identify the body due to severe blunt-force trauma to the victim’s face. Investigators worked quickly to connect the dots and were led to Sean Goe - a 26-year-old aspiring rapper who had fled from police just hours before…

What We Found Hidden in our Walls

For years, whale oil was used as lighting fuel, industrial lubricant, and the main ingredient in (yum!) margarine. Whale meat was also on a few menus. But today, demand for whale products is at a historic low. And yet some countries still have a whaling industry. We find out why. (Part 2 of “Everything You Never Knew About Whaling.”)

Revisiting “Future on Ice”

When 16-year-old Britney Ujlaky vanished from Spring Creek, Nevada, those closest to her were desperate for answers. She was last seen getting into a green truck with a cowboy nobody could seem to find. As the search intensified, one detail changed everything—her digital footprint hadn’t disappeared like she thought it would. The truth was there all along, buried in the one place no one expected.

S3:EP 2 - Summer of Love

Young lovers Toby Lowry and Morgan Leppert dreamed of escaping their small-town Florida lives, vanishing in the spring of 2008 to chase freedom at any cost. As they raced across state lines, stealing and hiding, authorities uncovered a chilling reality that pointed back to a small house in Melrose and the man left behind. Soon it became clear: this wasn’t just teenage rebellion—it was something far darker.

Episode 310

On April 13, 2029, an asteroid named Apophis will pass closer to Earth than our communication satellites. For the first time in human history, millions of people will watch a mountain-sized space rock race across the night sky.

NASA says we're safe, but Apophis is just the beginning. Scientists estimate 25,000 city-killer asteroids cross Earth's orbit, and they've only found half of them.

The other 13,500 remain completely hidden, somewhere in the darkness of space. Every three days, fragments from ancient comets bombard our planet.

Just 12,800 years ago, a cosmic impact reset human civilization and triggered a freeze that lasted over a thousand years. The evidence is buried in rock layers across four continents.

Today, we have the technology to fight back, but time is running out. The question isn't whether another impact will happen—it's whether we'll be ready when it does.

607: Asteroid Apophis is Coming | Ground Zero: California

In the premiere episode of The Telepathy Tapes, host Ky Dickens embarks on a mind-bending journey into the mysterious world of telepathy in non-speaking individuals with autism. Through personal stories and expert interviews, Dickens uncovers a phenomenon she never thought possible—a hidden form of communication that defies mainstream science. Through a mix of personal anecdotes, scientific exploration, and interviews with experts like Dr. Diane Hennessy Powell, a Johns Hopkins-trained neuropsychiatrist, Dickens unpacks the mysterious connection between parents and their children, who seemingly can read minds. The episode takes listeners on a journey across the globe, meeting families who have experienced this phenomenon firsthand, and challenges the skeptic in all of us. Dickens brings listeners into a world where telepathy may not just be possible, but commonplace. She opens up a conversation about the potential of the human mind that mainstream science has largely ignored, inviting listeners to reconsider everything they thought they knew about communication and consciousness.

S3:EP 8 - The One Thing

Whaling was, in the words of one scholar, “early capitalism unleashed on the high seas.” How did the U.S. come to dominate the whale market? Why did whale hunting die out here — and continue to grow elsewhere? And is that whale vomit in your perfume? (Part 1 of “Everything You Never Knew About Whaling.”)
