    36.01 - MU Podcast - Beyond and Back - The Christian's Guide to the Eternal Afterlife
    Jul 10 2026
    Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 36 episode 01! Kicking this fresh new season off with a look at the uber-religious view of what happens after they die. Christians believe that death is not the end, but the beginning of an eternal existence based on faith in Jesus. The afterlife centers on the promise of a restored, perfect world-often described as a renewed Earth-where believers experience unhindered joy, total healing, and the continual presence of God. Today, we talk death, dying, and your right to die. That includes a 30-minute-in-heaven near-death trip to a crystal city in the sky to hang out with super Jesus. Only to be pulled back into your body by a death-rebuking reverend, who you asked to be there. Hold onto your belief systems as we talk “Beyond and Back”, with some near-death-experiencing , after-life visiting Christian’s. In our Plus+ extension we go into Walter Russell's The Secret of Light. Russell's classic workpresents a vision of reality where consciousness, not matter, is the foundation of the universe. We attempt to present his ideas about Light, balance, electricity, cycles, and the wave nature of creation, exploring a worldview that attempts to unite science, spirituality, and philosophy into one broad explanation of existence.

    36.02 - MU Podcast - Other Planets & the Universal Human
    Jul 17 2026
    Welcome back to MU! In our continuation of Emanuel Swedenborg's works, he claims that for years he spoke with spirits from Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus, the Moon, and even worlds beyond our solar system. We follow his incredible cosmic travelogue, exploring how each civilization lives, worships, and contributes its own unique role in what he called the "Universal Human"...his vision of a living, inhabited universe, unlike anything else written in the 18th century. Welcome to your Plus Extension and thank you for joining us on Plus+! Today we happen upon some freaky happenings on, in, and around the strange area of a ceremonial county in Northwest England known as Lancashire. The Woo Woo concentrated in the area was enough for Author Terrence W. Witaker to fill a book with. This charming 1980 release is populated with priest holes, stacks of murders and therefore stacks of ghosts, unscrupulous Boggarts and, of course, screaming skulls that come included with the purchase of your new manor.

    36.03 - MU Podcast - Visitors From Within - Extraterrestrial Encounters and Species Evolution - part 01
    Jul 24 2026
    Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 36 episode 03! Today, we take a deep breath and entertain that which we have many a time maligned with a look at the work of Lyssa Royal and Keith Priest with their book, Visitors From Within. Though we are skeptical, that skepticism is harmonized with a keen awareness of the variety of freaky woo woo found around us, and the stone-cold fact that all sides of a story doth make’th a story, not just the one we emotionally prefer. In our Plus+ extension, we continue the wild stories from Jerome Clark’s 2000 book Extraordinary Encounters. From the bizarre case of a UFO-less Gray encounter at a motel, to mince pie stealing entities, and finally a well-known case of nude Venusians evading the camera, we wrangle the weirdest of tales for our elite Plus+ members!
