  • Forbidden Bible with Pedro Mendes
    Oct 3 2025
    Ah yes, the Book of Enoch. Where would Ancient Aliens be without it? It is a question for which there is no answer. Fortunately, Toby and Brandon are joined by podcast and radio documentarian Pedro Mendes, who studied early Christianity and has a lot of answers, most of which are “that is not correct.” We’ve got ancient Ethiopian bibles, an alien hybrid Noah, and giants mating with Neanderthals. Seriously, what else could you want?

  • Transdimensionals with Aimee Mann
    Sep 26 2025
    Ayahuasca and aliens, two great tastes that go great together? Maybe. While they don’t take ayahuasca or see any aliens, Brandon, Toby, and musician Aimee Mann try to work through an episode that is light on UFOs, but heavy on tenuous thematic connections. Other topics include whether angels’ wings depicted in art would actually work anatomically, poltergeists poppin’ bottles, and multiple universes.

  • Magic of the Gods with Sabina Magliocco
    Sep 19 2025
    Ever wonder what the academics on Ancient Aliens would say if they were given more than 20 seconds a clip? Well, wonder no more! Toby and Brandon are joined by Ancient Aliens subject matter expert Sabina Magliocco, from the University of British Columbia! They talk about the episode Magic of the Gods (Season 6, Episode 4) and what it’s like to be an expert on Ancient Aliens. Plus, the guy who did all the backflips in the Blues Brothers and a donkey you can fold up and put in your pocket!

  • Aliens and the Undead with Rekha Shankar
    Sep 12 2025
    Are mummies, vampires and zombies extraterrestrials? Even the ancient astronaut theorists aren’t willing to go there, but it was time for a Halloween-themed show, so this is what they were left with. Fortunately, comedian and actor Rekha Shankar is here to help Toby and Brandon make sense of this mess. We have human sacrifices, King Tut, head binding, and Voodoo. Also, is Ancient Aliens the Imagine Dragons of the UFO World?

  • Alien Wars
    Sep 5 2025
    Is Earth the site of a war between different species of aliens? Hard to know, but both a retired Canadian military official and the sixth man to walk on the moon have a strong feeling that it’s happening. Toby and Brandon take a look at The Alien Wars, which are apparently less noticeable than the ones we are used to. Also, why would anyone lead an expedition into the Valley of Death?

  • Deadly Cults with Janet Varney: Part 2
    Aug 29 2025
    Did you know there’s a computer intelligence named Spectra that orbits the Earth and communicates telepathically with Uri Geller? Well, we’re pretty sure there isn’t, and even less sure that it qualifies as a deadly cult, but we aren’t credentialed Ancient Astronaut Theorists, so take it with a grain of salt… Janet Varney is back with Brandon and Toby for part 2 of Deadly Cults. Plus, Thuggees, mummies in the Andes and the God Helmet!

  • Deadly Cults with Janet Varney: Part 1
    Aug 22 2025
    Was Snoopy a trickster god? And if so…who besides Brandon is part of the cult? We discuss this pressing question and so much more when Janet Varney returns to More Like Ancient Fail-iens to discuss the episode “Aliens and Deadly Cults.” We talk about whether highly evolved beings have sexual traits, Caligula as an early PhotoShopper and whether dog leashes are alien tech. Also, the Son of Sam, the Brotherhood of the Snake and gratuitous Charles Manson photos. AND THIS IS JUST PART 1!

  • Aliens and Insects with Natalia Reagan
    Aug 15 2025
    What’s the deal with bugs? There sure are a lot of them! Might some of them be extraterrestrials? Ancient Astronaut Theorists have some thoughts, as do Brandon, Toby and their special guest Natalia Reagan. Scarabs in Egyptian tombs, Ant People in the American Southwest, and a giant praying mantis extraterrestrial who might just be running the show. Plus, biomimetic weapons, locust swarms and an extraterrestrial named J-Rod.
