Human F*ckery
If you waited by the TV for new episodes of “Are You Afraid of the Dark” each weekend or wasted study hall reading the weird parts of the encyclopedia, this one’s for you SPECIFICALLY. “Human F*ckery” pits a doctor of psychology and an investigative journalist against one another in a battle of wits, research, and creative storytelling. Each episode the curious pair get assigned a topic. Then, they go spelunking through history’s colon in an effort to find the most jaw-dropping, unbelievable, and utterly bonkers examples of that topic buried in the dark history deposited by our collective ancestors. What’s the point? To captivate, occasionally horrify, and accidentally educate a rotating panel of judges—including you, the listener—into crowning one of our hosts the winner. This irreverent showcase for darker narratives buried in the historic trash heap was the winner of 2021’s Best of the Beat Award here in New Orleans, which means it’s enjoyed by people besides the hosts’ parents.

"Alien Encounters"
Thirty years ago, alien talk was mostly restricted to trashy daytime talk shows or weird sitcom fodder. (RE: “ALF?”) But with the very recent declassification of hundreds of pages of United States military case files on UFOs, plus an ever-expanding Internet cache of compelling videos and eyewitness reports, alien encounters are no longer taboo…and seem less sci-fi than ever before. Award-winning “Somewhere in the Skies” author and podcaster Ryan Sprague, a UFO researcher tapped for shows like “Ancient Aliens,” gets hauled onto the show to judge our teams’ deep dives into extraterrestrials. Team Edward returns to the land down under, spotlighting a trio of bizarre Australian arial events with no explanation. Team Kimberly skips the flying saucers and digs into the story of a California model whose life came undone after she was abducted—maybe—from the love nest she shared with her boyfriend. Who will be declared victorious? And are aliens more a part of the human experience than we were taught? You know what to do to find out.
