Back in the 1980s, a series of low-budget space plays took over the airwaves on public access television, mesmerizing audiences nationwide. These were the broadcasts of Unarius, a whacky UFO space cult (that’s definitely not a cult) helmed by a kooky old woman in clown make-up and a crystal emblazoned wig named Ruth Norman. With psychedelic effects, unintelligble dialogue, and unfollowable plots, these movies somehow managed to ensnare the minds of thousands, bringing them to Unarius headquarters in El Cajon, CA where many other desperate loners like themselves clung to the hope of reincarnation, a higher purpose, and a role in an improvised space movie where maybe they’d get to wear a fun costume. But is there something more to this old dingbats sputtering nonsense?

During last week's pre-show, Brian and Phoebe made the sad announcement that the podcast will be ending at the end of this year. The following is an excerpt from that pre-show.

O’er in the ancient land of Scotland there is a Loch so deep it could fit the entire population of planet Earth. It’s known as Loch Ness. And it is home to one fo the most famous Cryptids in the world…The Loch Ness Monster, aka Nessie. And its existence has enticed monster hunters / fans and skeptics for generations. Is it an ancient dinosaur surviving extinction, is it a seal, is it two waves crashing into each other, is it a cat fish or a sturgeon, or some birds? Is it a rock, or a log? Or is it…one of a kind. This month, don your best kilt and grab your bagpipes because we’re traveling to the Scottish Isle, in hunt of the most famous sea monster known to man. Nessie.

Down in the murky swamps of Louisiana there is a dogman like creature (with maybe a pig face) who terrorizes the small towns that dot the eerie landscape. This creature is known as the Rougarou, or the Loogarou, or the Loop-Garou, or as I heard it called by one Cajun: The Loop Garoup…but I like to call him the CAJUN WEREWOLF, a nine-foot tall cursed beast who mutilates cattle, steals children, and refuses to observe Lent. Is this creature just myth and folklore, a tale to scare children? Or is it the Dogman Down River, The Bigfoot of the Bayou, a true ghastly gnarling beast stalking the steamy swamps of the South?

(NOTICE: This is a replay of episode 183, one of our favorite Art Bell episodes) Time, the 4th dimension. Is it real? Or is it an illusion created by an interpretation of data in our limited brains? Our best scientists don’t know the answer to this, probably because they’re too busy identifying cat hair for the History Channel. In this, the third of a multi-part series we are exploring those who have already or perhaps have not yet or perhaps always have….travelled through time.

(NOTICE: This is a replay of episode 145, one of our favorite Art Bell episodes) In 1997 Mel Waters called into Coast2Coast AM to talk about a giant hole he found on his property. This wasn’t his butt. This wasn’t his sweet, supple, butt. No, it was different. This hole was so gaping, it could fit ANYTHING. Refrigerators, dogs, TVs. No it’s not his butt. Dammit! Shut up. This hole had mystical properties that could bring dogs back to life and even burn ice? What does that mean?
