  • Aliens and Bigfoot with David Farrier
    Nov 28 2025
    Let's finally just ask the big question: Just exactly how does Bigfoot fit into this whole doggone UFO thing? That's what we're answering once and for all in our exploration of the Ancient Aliens episode "Aliens and Bigfoot" (S4:E7). Luckily Toby and Brandon get help from journalist and documentarian David Farrier, creator of such wild and fascinating dives into culture as the doc Tickled and the Netflix series Dark Tourist. Not to mention a whole podcast on mysterious critters called The Cryptid Factor. So we were well-prepared to figure out if Bigfoots are hybrids of humans and apes, or if humans are hybrids of Bigfoots and aliens, or if ... aliens are ... hybrids of Bigfoots and ... humans? Okay so we lost our way in the forest, but that's no reason not to listen, because after all, the greatest threat in the woods may not be Bigfoot ... it may be us.

  • Mysteries of the Sphinx with Maggie Rahr
    Nov 21 2025
    Ever notice that the Sphinx’s head is kind of small compared to its body? Unsurprisingly, the Ancient Astronaut Theorists are on top of it and so much more. Journalist Maggie Rahr joins Brandon and Toby to delve into The Mysteries of the Sphinx. That’s Season 9, Episode 2. Be amazed by the Blinking Eye of the Lord, intrigued by the theory that ancient sarcophaguses (sarcophagi?) might be teleportation devices to other dimensions, confounded by some English guy who thinks the Sphinx is actually a dog, and other weird stuff.

  • The Mystery of Rudloe Manor
    Nov 14 2025
    Giorgios Tsoukalos and Nick Pope go on a sort of disappointing field trip to Britain’s Area 51 and Brandon and Toby are right there with them in spirit. It’s Season 12, Episode 3, The Mystery of Rudloe Manor. We’ve got a stately British manor house sitting on an underground complex that might or might not have UFO stuff, a teenager who seems to have basically run a town in Wales, and Giorgios displaying an excellent respect for the law by getting the hell out when the cops come.

  • Prototypes with Jack Brewer
    Nov 7 2025
    Supposedly there was a period in pre-history where the planet was like Lord of the Rings. Can this be true? Toby and Brandon are joined by Jack Brewer to look into this. It turns out the answer is that, no, it is not true. But it’s not the destination, it’s the journey. We meet the giant Denisovans, the little Hobbits (not the going-on-a-quest type), and a guy traipsing around Europe with a replica of a skull that someone else found in a cave. We’re talking about Protoypes, Season 11, Episode 10.
    For more about the Emma Woods case, listen to Strange Arrivals, season 3, episodes 6-8.

  • Star Children with Sarah Carradine
    Oct 31 2025
    You ever run into a smart kid and think, hmm, probably a human/alien hybrid? If so, the Ancient Astronaut Theorists have some “facts” you can use at cocktail parties. Brandon and Toby are joined by Sarah Carradine to discuss The Star Children (Season 7, Episode 3). We meet a child who joined Mensa at age 2, which must have been awesome for him, along with the Dalai Lama, Pythagoras’ adoptive brother/slave, and the nefarious black-eyed children who once scared a guy hanging out in his car at a mall parking lot. Brace yourself!

  • Mystery of Skinwalker Ranch with Erica Lukes: Part 2
    Oct 24 2025
    We are back at Skinwalker Ranch, where there is apparently an interdimensional portal somewhere, or something like that. Regardless, Toby and Brandon are joined by Erica Lukes for part two of their examination of The Mystery of Skinwalker Ranch (Season 15, Episode 10). We have a perp line-up of wolves, Skinwalkers who can alter their own DNA and an incident at Dead Man’s Curve! Also, dudes hanging out in fields holding guns.

  • Mystery of Skinwalker Ranch with Erica Lukes: Part 1
    Oct 17 2025
    More like the Secrets of Glibtalker Ranch, amiright? We have giant wolves, poltergeists acting like 10-year-olds and quantum jiu jitsu. Fortunately, we are joined by Erika Lukes, an expert on Skinwalker Ranch who keeps Brandon and Toby sane as the Ancient Aliens and Skinwalker Ranch universes collide. And this is just Part 1 of our conversation about The Secrets of Skinwalker Ranch (Season 15, Episode 10)!

  • Pyramids of Antarctica
    Oct 10 2025
    Brandon went to Antarctica, but didn't see any giant pyramids, under-ice Nazi cities, or even have his boat attacked by a squadron of laser-firing alien craft. That's not the Antarctica that the Ancient Astronaut Theorists hold dear to their hearts. Anyway, you get the picture. We're talking about the Pyramids of Antarctica on this week's More Like Ancient Failiens.
