  • S4 Ep5: Jadoo
    Apr 10 2026

    “I am a professional cliffhanger. Peddling adventure is my business, and at times it’s a mighty lean one. But the leanness is a part of it. Going hungry and thirsty and weird places that aren’t even marked on the map is part of it. My specialty is magic, the forbidden arts. Jadoo is my stock in trade.” – John A. Keel, Jadoo

    Long before ‘The Mothman Prophecies’ there was ‘Jadoo’. Barely out of his teens, John Keel set out across the world in search of magic: both fake -- and real. He traveled alone through Egypt, Iraq and India, fighting off bandits, breaking bread with mystical holy men and dodging deadly cobras. He was Indiana Jones before there was an Indiana Jones. But instead of a whip, his iconic sidearm was his portable typewriter. All of his adventuring was in service of his one true dream – becoming a writer.

    Richard shares this dream. And in the summer of 1987, he too sets off on an adventure – armed only with a tattered copy of ‘Lonesome Dove’ and a cassette tape of the Sex Pistols. He’s on the run – but whether it’s toward something or away, he’s not quite sure. And after a life-changing weekend in Chicago, he wonders if the road he’s been on his whole life might be about to change forever.

  • S4: SPECIAL BONUS EPISODE: WEIRDUMENTARY with Gary D. Rhodes
    Mar 27 2026

    Remember In Search of Noah’s Ark? Chariots of the Gods? The Mysterious Monters? The Outer Space Connection? In the mid-1970s, these odd movies from Sunn Classic or American International Pictures would suddenly appear in your neighborhood theater – and it usually meant that your next Saturday afternoon was spoken for. Bigfoot, psychic powers, UFOS – finally there were films devoted to the scientific study of the things I cared about. Were they scientific? As it turns out, not so much. But were they entertaining? Oh, hell yes. I’d see these things with my cousins or school friends, and we would all get completely freaked out and terrified. In other words, a perfect day at the movies.

    Author and film historian Gary D. Rhodes remembers these films as fondly as I do and he’s written a beautiful book about them called Weirdumentary. In our conversation we cover everything from the Bermuda Triangle to William Shatner to the Loch Ness Monster to Orson Wells to the iconography of the Patterson-Gimlin film to the legendary “Office of Knowledge”!

    SEE dramatic recreations of Bigfoot attacks! HEAR bizarre synthesizer music! LEARN questionable “facts”! SMELL buttered popcorn and Red Vines! Now sit back and get ready for your… WEIRDUMENTARY!

Mr. Hatem sharing aspects of his life while discussing select books is, by far, one of the most grounding and comforting podcasts you'll ever hear. It's a don't-miss even for the skeptic. Thank you, Rich, for this masterpiece.

Podcast we can ALL relate to!!!

We knew Richard Hatem was brilliant from his screenplay for The Mothman Prophecies. We knew he was entertaining and insightful from his numerous appearances on the Astonishing Legends podcast. Now with his own podcast that is a cross between a paranormal book club and a therapy session...we find out he's so much more and a little bit like each of us too! Five stars, two thumbs up, recommend to everyone who feels a connection to the spooky side of life!

Addictive from the start!

Richard is an amazing storyteller that takes the listener to places that they may never have heard of, but remember well.
He blends each subject with his own life experiences that we can all look back on and smile. RUN!!! Don’t walk, and give this amazing podcast a listen. You won’t regret it!!!

Buckle your cerebral belts!! It’s one amazing ride!!!
