We continue our unravelling of the strange mysteries of the mind this week as psychologist Dr. Richard Stephens joins us to discuss the hidden benefits of being bad from his new book Black Sheep.
We then look at extreme cases of OCD and discover why sleeping with a sexsomniac can be a dangerous game.
With the FDA’s approval of the new ‘Female Viagra’ we look at one urologist’s profound erectile discovery in the 1980s before investigating the hidden benefits of being bad.
We then examine history’s lost sports with Fox Tossing, Octopus wrestling and Hot Cockles. Plus+ members then get the full John Keel experience as we look at more of his investigations into high strangeness.
After Aaron entertains himself with Ben’s recent misfortune we examine new advances in Xenotransplants, pig hybrids, and one man’s quest to be accepted as alpha goat.
We then investigate recent reports of ‘Ghost fliers’ in the UK and unravel decades of eerie phenomenon reported on the moors, all before discovering the underground community of xenomeliacs in our Plus+ extension.
After a discussion on the proposed drone “superhighway”, the confirmation of the existence of ECHELON, and how drinking 28 Redbulls a day might not be the smartest dietary choice, we examine the new scientific field of plant neurobiology and the questions it raises about plant consciousness.
In the later part of the show we then switch gears to cover heart stealing dwarves, gnome abductions, and X-Games Exorcisms.
David and Ben Paulides join us to discuss their upcoming documentary on David’s Missing 411 research.
The work chronicles children, adults and the elderly who have disappeared, sometimes in the presence of friends and relatives. As Search and Rescue personnel exhaust leads and places to search, relatives start to believe kidnappings and abductions have occurred. The new film seeks answers to these strange unsolved disappearances of thousands of visitors in America’s national parks and forests
Best selling author Robert Kurson joins us this week to discuss his new book Pirate Hunters, a new adventure of danger and deep-sea diving, historic mystery and the search for a legendary pirate ship.
We also include the latest on SETIs new funding, MoD cover ups, and 17th century French psychic radar.
With the new images of Pluto dominating the headlines we decide to look at the absurd conspiracies of holograms and plutonian pyramids that have already emerged.
We also investigate history’s most eccentric people, Australia’s black mountain of doom, and the search for the illusive “Canadian Jesus”.
After discussing odd Google searches in the ‘Hour of the Wolf’, and the mutated genes of ‘short sleepers’, we discuss the subliminal masterminds of the 1980s and one man’s crazed attempts to expose their symbology.
We then move to the extremes of the human experience and the medical breakthroughs that have followed along with a Dutch man’s delicious octopoid encounter.

We return to the studio for the start of a new season with tales of doom, robots, and the mystery of time.
Dr Rita Louise also joins us for a discussion on the connections between ancient mythology across world cultures and what they may tell us about our human origins.
On our last show of Season 13 we reveal how AI will turn us all into stamps, the emerging science of magneto-sensitivity in humans, and the not-so-classic case of the levitating French horse.
We also feature orgasm inducing mushrooms and the terrifying panpsychic effects of salvia.
After 3 days of Contact in the Desert and a rather spectacular cascading series of MU equipment failure, we finally have our wrap up recording of CITD 2017!
We had initially hoped to do two 1hr shows this weekend but ended up with this huge single 2.5hr wrap of the highlights, with more to come for Plus+ members when I return to Sydney this week.
After our connection back to Aaron @ MU HQ failed due to equipment issues, local desert dweller and CITD regular Julie Peasley joins Ben to relive the magic and the madness of the weekend.
Show notes for this are coming soon as I am literally getting ready to race through LA traffic to make my flight home! ~ Ben
SPECIAL THANKS again to Julie @ Particle Zoo for jumping on the mic for this one!
