Liminal Phrames
Liminal Phrames is a podcast dedicated to the exploration of the meaning-making models we form around UFOs, contact with non-human intelligence, and paranormal experience. Not only do experiences with the UFO Phenomenon and high strangeness challenge conventional notions of reality, but they force us to venture into new territory altogether, pioneering a new framing of the real with blurred lines and indistinct categories. Hard answers may be hard to come by here, but on Liminal Phrames, Darren King (ExoAcademian) and Nathan are fully invested in asking these most intriguing of questions.

007 - Science, Religion & Paranormality
In this episode Exo and Nathan examine various tools at our disposal for analysis of the UFO Phenomenon and High Strangeness. We also look at meaning-making structures like Religion and Science, and how they have historically defined the parameters of "normality" for the collective.

006 - Alien Contact, NDEs & Reality Constructs
In this episode Exo and Nathan take a high-level approach to a range of diverse but related topics such as: the potential number of sources behind the Phenomenon, lessons to be learned from sagas like that of Anjali, and the implications arising from NDEs, OBEs and synchronicity. What, if any, crisscrossing lines can we draw amongst these, and what does that say about the ultimate nature of reality?

005 - Believers, Skeptics & Deniers
In this episode Exo and Nathan discuss the spectrum of positions from which people approach the UFO Phenomenon and High Strangeness in general. How do our preconceptions about reality and what's "possible" impact our engagement with a Phenomenon that refuses to play by the rules? What role, if any, does each of these base positions play in our overall aim for truth and understanding?

004 - Defining Disclosure
In this episode Exo & Nathan tackle the monster known as "Disclosure". What does the government know? How deep does the rabbit hole go? What are the potential ramifications if it happens? Are there scenarios where one can imagine valid justification for holding back any of these secrets? Is this disclosure merely about the Others in our midst - whether they be extraterrestrials, interdimensionals, time-traveling humans, or something else, or do the roots go even deeper - perhaps touching on the very fabric of ultimate reality?

003 - From Daemons to Demons
In this episode of Liminal Phrames Exo & Nathan discuss the origin of the term "daemons", the rise of The Collins Elite, & how religious notions of angels & demons inevitably surface in discussions regarding the UFO Phenomenon within our current cultural framework. To what extent do these terms help us, and to what extent are they merely interpretations of phenomena that defy simple, binary categorization?

002 - The ET Hypothesis & Beyond
In this episode Exo and Nathan return to the roots of 20th century ufology, discussing the events and cultural frames that brought about the extraterrestrial hypothesis. From there, the discussion moves, as did the historical postulations, towards notions such as interdimensionality and ultraterrestrials. How are these notions different, and how might future revelations bring about ever more exotic hypotheses?
