The Man Who Built a Time Machine in His Backyard - He Said He Traveled to the Future… and Then Disappeared
Season 1
Episode 242
Published 1 year ago
Description
He claimed he built a time machine in his backyard. Then he vanished.
In this mind-bending episode, we chronicle the story of Mike "Mad Man" Markham — the amateur inventor from Missouri whose bold claims of building a homemade time machine took him from local obscurity to national late-night radio legend.
We dive deep into:
⚡ His early experiments and illegal power theft
⚡ His wild interviews on Art Bell’s Coast to Coast AM
⚡ The alleged moment he jumped two years into the future
⚡ His mysterious disappearance — and the theories around it
⚡ A critical breakdown of what could be real, hoax, or misunderstood science
Told with commentary by AJ, this episode is a blend of storytelling, skepticism, and a tribute to the golden era of fringe radio and the cult of curiosity.
💥 Whether you believe in time travel or just love a good conspiracy, this is one you won’t stop thinking about.
