  • True Internet Horrors: Chip-Chan, Local 58, and The Plague Doctor
    Apr 3 2026
    Gather round for three stories the internet found and couldn't put down. A DVD arrived in Sweden with no return address — on it, a figure in a plague doctor mask standing inside an abandoned psychiatric hospital where hundreds of people were executed. The audio carried photographs hidden in frequencies the human ear can't detect. In Seoul, a woman livestreamed herself 24 hours a day from a filth-filled apartment, claiming a corrupt police officer had implanted a chip in her ankle to control her sleep. Thousands watched. Nobody came. And somewhere in West Virginia, a public access TV station started broadcasting messages that didn't belong to it. The signal told you not to look at the moon. Then something reversed the signal. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • 639: Basement #009: Eric Wargo | The Block Universe, UFO Time Machines, and Precognitive Dreams
    Mar 30 2026

    Eric Wargo is an anthropologist, science writer, and the author of five books on one of the most controversial ideas in modern science — that the future is already fixed, and that your brain knows more about it than you think.

    His work sits at the crossroads of physics, psychology, and the paranormal, drawing on everything from Einstein's relativity to Jung's scarab beetle to make a case that precognition is not only real but explainable through mainstream science.

    He spent years as an editorial director at one of the country's leading psychology organizations before a UFO sighting in 2009 sent him in a very different direction — and he never really looked back.

    You can find his writing at The Night Shirt and on Substack, and his books wherever books are sold.

  • 638: The Science of Death | The Living Feel It Too
    Mar 27 2026

    A doctor walks into a trauma room and sees a dead woman floating above a dying man. He isn't the patient's physician. He just felt the pull to go in.

    That's how this story starts — and it gets stranger from there.

    Hundreds of nurses, doctors, and everyday people have reported witnessing something at the exact moment someone dies. Not near-death experiences. Something different.

    They were healthy, awake, and fully conscious. Some were thousands of miles away.

    Researchers have now collected over 800 of these cases. The patterns are nearly identical across cultures, ages, and belief systems — including committed atheists.

    What are they experiencing? And why have so many of them stayed silent for decades?

Fun, informative, and full of light-hearted mystery. I like how things are debunked when the evidence disproves the legend, but there's always an opening for wondering about more. Plus Hecklefish is absolutely hilarious! He's the little voice in our heads let loose on the world.

Gertie loves to dance!

I love the stories and mysteries discussed on the show. The fact based approach is also very welcome to debunk certain stories and lend credibility to others.

Excellent series!

The Why Files podcast is a truly one-of-a-kind cast. It’s whimsical, sometimes Sophomoric, but fast-paste, and data-dense. The podcast offers up references, and are easily accessed via their notes section for each episode. Each episode is unique, some far-flung, some physics-centric (which I like, especially at the theoretical and quantum levels), but all have a storyline that draws you into the topic. It’s how I wish more formal educational ventures were presented and pursued.

The Why Files is fast-paced, entertaining, willing to consider any topic, and embeds outstanding info & references
