Snake in the Grass
In the continuation of our interesting conversation with Arthur Goldwag, conspiracy theory researcher, we discuss the origins of conspiracy theories, among other things. I’ll give you a hint, it’s probably aliens. We have such a great time, in fact, we go a little long. Bonus free podcast minutes!

All the Bugs (and the Cathars)
Boy howdy did we have a ton of technical issues with this episode, however, we made it through and had a wonderful conversation with the illustrious Andrew Phillip Smith about the Cathars, his new book (The Lost Teachings of the Cathars), the new edition of the definitive history of the Gnostics, now called The Secret History of the Gnostics, and some of his other projects. He’s really done a lot for the modern Gnostic community, and it was great to finally get to talk to him.

Stop Agreeing With Me!
The Manicheans were a very successful and influential Gnostic sect, and we continue our conversation about them with Dr. Timothy Pettipiece. We spend some time talking about their influences and why they aren’t as big in popular culture as Gnosticism. The answer might surprise you.

Taking a Trip With the Wise Men
A lost sect of drug-taking mystical Christians who used ‘shrooms to see Christ? UFO cultists finding proof of their beliefs in ancient texts? Shapeshifting transformer Jesus? Christmas? All of this and more in our discussion on the Revelation of the Magi, an ancient text which retells the journey of the wise men to visit baby Jesus in a way that’ll blow your mind. Brent Landau from the University of Texas at Austin joins us to discuss this fascinating gospel.

Jesus the Necromancer
There are lots of interesting stories about Jesus both in the canonical Bible and in the extra-canonical sources. Some of these involve Jesus doing some things that looks suspiciously like magic, sorcery, and necromancy. We’ll explore some of those stories in this episode.
