Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Hook: A mid-century physician, secret funding and trance recordings that blur science, espionage and the occult. Original episode ~52 minutes, now condensed to 12 minutes for quick listening. In this tight summary host Jesse Michels and filmmaker Greg Malazzi unpack the life and archive of Dr. Andrija Puharich—his Round Table mansion lab, ESP and remote-viewing experiments, the trance entity called the Nine, and classified funding from the Army, Navy, CIA and Atomic Energy Commission. Listen to learn how technical methods (Faraday cages, implants, TD-100 transmitters) met channeling sessions, why intelligence agencies paid attention, and the ethical dilemmas when therapy and covert manipulation share the same hardware. This episode highlights testimony from “space kids,” ties to figures like Uri Geller and Gene Roddenberry, and why archival evidence demands sober interpretation.
