Cassie Coppersmith spent years buying and selling gold mines before she walked away to chase a different kind of treasure. Now she travels to the world’s oldest megalithic sites, asking the questions few others will. Cassie joins AJ to unpack what LiDAR scans uncovered beneath Angkor: geometric mound fields, mile-long spirals, and a water network that behaves like a machine. She explains why Cambodia’s finest stonework sits at the bottom, and why the carbon dates refuse to match the official story. From lathe-turned pillars in India to the giants lining Easter Island’s ancient road, the same pattern keeps appearing. Then there’s the night in the world’s largest cave, when something out in the dark started knocking. The past is far stranger than the textbooks admit. Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1850, a young Frenchman spent the Louvre’s money on shovels and followed a buried road of sphinxes into the Egyptian desert. At the end of it, he found a tunnel lined with twenty-four granite boxes, each one heavier than a loaded semi truck. The stone came from almost six hundred miles away, and the inside walls are polished like a black mirror. Engineers who measured them found surfaces so flat and corners so square that modern granite companies say they can’t match them. The Egyptians buried their sacred bulls here, but they didn’t build these boxes. They found them, and they were already ancient. So who carved them, what were they for, and why did the builders walk away from the last one half finished? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Brad Olsen paid his own way to Antarctica with an eviction check, a used SUV, and a sailboat that had never crossed the Drake Passage. What he found sent him chasing a story that stretches from Argentine hotels to maps drawn beneath the ice. Brad and AJ follow the Nazi trail south after World War II, from vanished U-boats to a hidden base in Neuschwabenland. Brad also explains why the largest naval task force in history sailed to Antarctica and came home early. Then there are the forbidden zones, a hole the satellites won’t show, and a buried craft with a familiar symbol on its wall. Some places stay off-limits for a reason.

In 1958, a Hopi elder named White Feather caught a ride on a desert highway and shared a prophecy with the stranger behind the wheel. Nine signs would appear before the end of the world. Covered wagons, railroads, power lines, oil spills, and long-haired hippies all arrived right on schedule. By 1992, the elders were so alarmed that they carried their warning to the United Nations. Within hours, a massive storm flooded New York. According to the Hopi, humanity has destroyed itself three times before, and the survivors took shelter underground with mysterious beings from the sky. Now only one sign remains: the arrival of a new blue star. In 2025, something from another solar system swung around the Sun and started glowing blue. Learn more about your ad choices.

Then the conversation turns to stranger ground. In 1967, Shatner crashed his dirt bike into a prospector’s trench in the Mojave Desert, alone and baking in his leathers. Over the ridge stood a figure dressed in silver, and it led him somewhere. He also opens up about surviving stage 4 melanoma in the same stretch of time his daughter faced her own diagnosis. He shares the phone call he made to his dying sister, and what it taught him about Captain Kirk’s final words. From Spinoza to the Great Pyramid’s hidden hum, this is a man still asking big questions. What do we see at the very end? Shatner has a theory. Learn more about your ad choices.

In Gary, Indiana, a family fights back with bleach, sage, and prayer while something turns on their children. Police officers, nurses, and a social worker see things they can’t explain. In Atchison, Kansas, a young couple brings a new baby home to an old rental house. Then scratches start showing up on the father, and a psychic gives them a name.
