    It’s another wild ride on The Big Bad Broadcast as the crew dives into a hurricane of hilarious side roads and sunny chaos. From crowded Florida beaches and spring-break spectacle to a curious wooden magic prop straight out of a magician’s dream, nothing’s off-limits this week.

    The guys swap stories about shark sightings, strange paranormal videos, waterfront dining adventures, and even the odd responsibilities of keeping your dog calm during fireworks. Between laughs, they hit deeper notes on evolving tech in media, the history of electric cars, and how comedians grind their craft night after night. Add in talk of GLP‑1 weight-loss meds, airport security tangles, and the aftermath of Florida’s latest cold snap, and you’ve got an hour that’s equal parts wild, relatable, and refreshingly real.

  • The BBB -- Alexander Beresford, Kenny "Bang Bang" Stewart, and Henry Bustamante!
    Feb 27 2026

    In this episode of the Big Bad Broadcast, we dive into the fascinating world of bizarre magic and the paranormal with our special guests: Alexander Beresford, a magic author; Kenny "Bang Bang" Stewart, a paranormalist; and Henry Bustamante, a hypnotist. We kick things off with some light banter about the weather, with John and me reflecting on the joys of living in warmer climates while our friends back east deal with snowstorms.

    As we introduce our guests, we explore the concept of paranormal magic, which combines storytelling with magical effects that evoke emotions and delve into darker themes. Alec explains that this branch of magic, known as bizarre magic, focuses on narratives involving spirits, ghosts, and even serial killers, creating a unique experience for the audience.

    We discuss the nature of belief in psychics and the supernatural, sharing personal anecdotes and experiences that challenge our skepticism. Henry shares insights into his work as a hypnotist, explaining how hypnosis can be used for entertainment and therapeutic purposes, while also emphasizing that true hypnosis requires the subject's consent and willingness.

We also share some humorous and spooky stories from our field experiences, including strange occurrences during our podcast recordings.
