The DisinfoCast with Matt Staggs: Episode 07: James Howard Kunstler | Social critic and Peak Oil provocateur James Howard Kunstler is here to discuss his new book Too Much Magic: Technology, Wishful Thinking and the Fate of the Nation. Kunstler believes that the end of cheap, readily available oil is very near, and with it the collapse of the industrial society as we know it. According to Kunstler, alternative energy sources and other technological solutions are just wishful thinking, and the future that awaits us may very well resemble our past. | 30 4 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The DisinfoCast with Matt Staggs: Episode 05: Andy Behrman, "Electroboy" | Andy Behrman is the author of Electroboy: A Memoir of Mania. At first, Andy Behrman's manic episodes gave him an edge among the young professional elite of 1980s New York City: thousands of ideas tumbled out of his super-charged brain and he slept only a couple of hours a night, leaving him plenty of time to pursue them all. Soon, though, the dizzying highs and crushing lows of his undiagnosed bipolar disorder grew too strong, and Andy's life spun out of control. He developed a taste for drugs, quick money and risky sex. He grew delusional and grandiose, spending thousands of dollars on impulsive trips around the world and luxury goods. His mania-fueled joyride ended in a federal court, an accused embezzler and forger of modern art. It took almost 20 rounds of electroconvulsive therapy to bring some degree of normalcy to Andy's life, but his story doesn't end there. He became a spokesperson for a powerful pharmaceutical company, ultimately betraying his corporate paymasters to become one of their harshest critics. Big pharma critic, author and mental health advocate Andy Behrman is my guest on this episode of the DisinfoCast. Enjoy. | 14 4 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The DisinfoCast with Matt Staggs: Episode 04: Doug Skinner on the Late, Great John A. Keel | The late John Alva Keel is best remembered as the author of The Mothman Prophecies, a classic work of Fortean reportage. The book painted an eery portrait of a tiny town besieged by inexplicable incidents: sightings of a moth-like creature with glowing red eyes, strange lights in the sky and midnight visits from men in black. Keel began his investigation as an outsider, but was soon drawn into the dark orbit of the mothman. Keel achieved some amount of public recognition when his book became the basis of a 2002 movie of the same name starring Richard Gere, but the public at large had no idea that Keel’s encounter with the mothman was only one small part of an incredibly strange, adventurous life. Keel, a veteran writer of the weird, was well-known within the ranks of forteana for his writings on UFOs, conspiracies and strange mysteries discovered in the furthest corners of the globe. Keel’s later years were tough ones. As he grew older, his career suffered. So did his health. Thankfully, he was not completely alone. A small circle of friends and admirers stood by his side. One of them was Fortean writer and professional composer Doug Skinner. Skinner, a close friend of Keel’s, is here to talk with us today. | 1 4 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The New Disinfocast with Matt Staggs: An Interview with Raymond Wiley | The Disinformation Company is excited to announce the return of the Disinformation Podcasts with The Disinfocast, hosted by Matt Staggs. Matt Staggs is a writer and longtime aficionado of the curious and bizarre. A career spent in journalism and psychology has led Matt to to the understanding that exploring why people believe the things they do is just as important as the things themselves. When he's not reading, podcasting or writing, you can usually find Matt arguing over a table full of strange books and funny dice. Follow him on Twitter at @mattstaggs. Matt's first guest will surely be familiar to listeners of the Disinformation Podcasts over the years, it's former host, now author of The Georgia Guidestones: America’s Most Mysterious Monument: Raymond Wiley! Join Raymond and Matt discuss this great mystery: the Georgia Guidestones are at once a Rosetta Stone, an astronomical observatory, and a road map for rebuilding civilization. Theories of conspiracy, occultism, and apocalypse surround this monument, and it has been called a “prism of meaning” by many who have studied it. At the heart of this confusion is the missing piece of the puzzle: who was the mystery man that designed and funded the project? Much more to come in the following months, and as always, thanks for listening! | 27 2 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Can't recommend enough...
An absolute joy to listen to. An intelligent look at some of the stranger things happening around us, presented with warmth and humour. We need more people like this! And more episodes!! (though less exclamation points maybe).
What Raymond and Joe did next
Following on from their superb "Out There" Radio show (also available on iTunes) Raymond and Joe now venture into uncharted territory as the official podcast for the Disinformation Company. And didn't they do well! The opening episode is an interview with Robert Bauval, exploring his theories relating to ancient Egypt and the alignment to stars. It offers the same levels of enthusiasm and good humour that made Out There such a great podcast. Despite the high water mark, I can only anticipate it getting better from here on in. It's great to have them back and I can't wait for the next episode. So come on guys! Get into gear!! If you've never heard for Raymond of Joe, then I suggest you download this Podcast (it's free for goodness sake) and then download all the Out There Radio podcasts whilst you still can. You'll simply not regret it.
