The Lost Civilization of Atlantis

The Lost Civilization of Atlantis

In this episode I talk with David Edward about the lost civilization of Atlantis

David is an Author, researcher, former Army Intelligence and was part of the team that arrested Manuel Noriega. He holds 3 Masters Degrees and a PHD in Engineering, owns two companies and has written over 40 books both fiction and non-fiction.

Those who know anything about Atlantis, know it’s a mystery and there’s a ton of misinformation about what it was. For me, there are two fundamental questions that I want answered:

Did it really exist? and what happened to it?

Dave’s latest book Atlantis Found: The Final Definitive Proof attempts to answer these questions and is the basis for our conversation…

I hope you enjoy this topic and Thanks for listening.

THIS AMERICAN WASTELAND - A SCIFI AUDIO DRAMA

THIS AMERICAN WASTELAND - A SCIFI AUDIO DRAMA

Welcome Science Fiction aficionado and listener of the Dead Hand Radio podcast.

If you’re a listener of Dead Hand Radio, you know this podcast is centered on the events of the cold war, but that's not all it is. It's only been around since March of 2020 and is constantly evolving.

After several months of strictly talking about The Cold War, I decided to change up the format and did a whole series on The Paranormal for Halloween. 12 episodes in all, with guests from different backgrounds and interests, who joined me and through their experiences and anecdotes took listeners on a journey through the world of spirits, ghost stories and haunted locations. We talked about cursed lands, myths, legends and lore. It was a blast, and it really opened my eyes as to what this podcast can become.

After that series I wanted to expand the platform even more and decided to add a new element to the line up of interesting content.

So from this point on, I will occasionally be bringing on people interested in pop culture, movies, comics, books, art and everything else in between related to the incredible world of Science Fiction.

My guest for this SciFi Edition is Podcaster Sean Ramos. Creator of the Audio Drama This American Wasteland

TED PHILLIPS, UFOs & MARLEY WOODS - UFO INVESTIGATOR THOMAS FERRARIO

My guest for this episode of UFO Decoded is Thomas Ferrario. Tom is a former MUFON investigator and long time friend and protege of Ted Phillips. Tom and I discuss his work with Ted Phillips and the infamous Marley Woods site which has been compared to Skinwalker Ranch due to it's high frequency of UFO activity and high strangeness.

Tom and Ted spent decades investigating the site known as Marley Woods and have made some very intriguing discoveries and recorded some compelling evidence. They also conducted countless eyewitness accounts of the strange phenomena that occurs on a regular basis in this area.

What's most notable about this whole conversation is that the activity has not only continued, but it has increased in frequency.

This is a fascinating interview and you don't want to miss it.

This recording took place on site in Las Vegas, the night before Jeremy and Sean set out on their quest in pursuit of UAP – Unidentified Aerial Phenomena and it commemorates the launch of their new project.

Along with a team of talented professionals, a camera crew, and the use of some high tech instruments, including a SkyHub unit mounted to an off road vehicle named OSIRIS, these two are attempting to locate, observe and document anomalous activity in our skies.

UFO CRASHES & GOV COVERUPS PRESTON DENNETT

My guest for this episode is Preston Dennet

UFO Researcher, investigator and author of 27 books.

Initially a skeptic Preston had no interest in UFOs, until 1986 when he learned about an incident over Alaska involving an airline pilot who witnessed a large unidentified craft and went public with his experience. Later while discussing the incident with friends and family Preston made a discovery he didn’t expect. People he knew and trusted were having similar experiences.

Since then, Preston has been looking into the topic of UFOs, and has spoken to hundreds of witnesses and experiencers.

In this episode Preston gives a detailed account of his interest in UFOs and how he’s evolved as a researcher, investigator and author, over the years of exploring this topic.

He goes into detail on how he’s managed to connect with and interview so many eyewitnesses, contactees and abductees.

Then we discuss the 1953 Kingman Arizona UFO crash and subsequent cover up by the US government. Potential causes of the crash, and what was recovered from the site.

We also talk about Sky Hub and the mobile tracking platform that Jeremy McGowan is building. And I pose some questions to Preston on Jeremy’s behalf that result in Preston dropping a nuclear bomb on me about another crash which I’ve never even heard about and will ultimately lead to a follow up with Preston on a future episode of this podcast.

And now dear listener, I urge you to suspend your disbelief, set aside your skepticism and prepare for this UFO Edition of Dead Hand Radio

PARTING THE VEIL by B.K. BASS

PARTING THE VEIL by B.K. BASS

My guest for this episode BK Bass was not able to record an intro with me for this Haunted Edition of Dead Hand Radio. Unfortunately he’s been dealing with some sort of malady for some time and just didn’t feel up to having a conversation.

So when I reached out to him about participating he asked if he could submit a recording of something he had prepared some time ago, and I agreed.

The reading you are about to hear is a story about American treasure hunter Richard Jericho and British anthropologist Wilkins Chapman. The two have uncovered antiquities from around the world, but in the jungles of Peru, they discover something more than they expected.

As the fabric of reality comes apart, they journey across the globe chasing clues. Answers lead to more questions, as they attempt to piece together a puzzle older than primal memory itself.

And the more they part the veil, the more of what lies beyond the veil spills into our reality.

Here’s BK Bass reading Chapter 1 of his paranormal thriller, Parting the Veil.

QUANTUM CONSCIOUSNESS WITH SCI-FI WRITER ARTHUR H. WALKER DEAD HAND RADIO 19

Arthur Walker is a writer, artist, philosopher, game dev and consultant.

He’s a creator of worlds on page and on-screen, and he’s a brilliant individual. In this episode of Dead Hand Radio, Arthur and I discuss creative pursuits and share ideas about artificial intelligence, quantum computing, machine learning and consciousness.

Of course an episode of Dead Hand Radio would not be complete if my guest and I didn’t talk about the cold war at some level, and during our discussion, we certainly do touch on the topic of the cold war and how AI is connected to that time period.

Finally, we close out our conversation with a jaunt into the post apocalyptic genre, and consider the possible or inevitable destruction of Earth and the potential for humans, with the help of AI, to prevent that from happening.

It was a very intellectually stimulating conversation and I’m so glad to have had the opportunity to explore these topics with someone like Arthur.

DEAD HAND RADIO is A podcast about the Cold War. It’s history and the effects it had on our culture, technology and the future of our world.

My goal is to examine these and other topics. To learn. To educate. To entertain and exchange ideas with those interested.

So join me, and together we’ll explore a fascinating period of history and examine some incredible advancements in weapons, technology, science, art and culture and discuss how all of it relates to the future of our world.

If you or someone you know would like to be a guest on this program, drop me an email, or visit DeadHandRadio.com. You can also find me on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.

I’m Andrew Hall and This is Dead Hand Radio.

COLD WAR 2.0 & THE APOCALYPSE WITH JJ SHURTE

COLD WAR 2.0 & THE APOCALYPSE WITH JJ SHURTE

My guest for this episode is JJ Shurte. A post-apocalyptic writer and creator of the post-apocalyptic writing guide.

I first met JJ on Twitter where we’ve exchanged many tweets about the apocalypse, writing, gaming and photography and other interesting topics.

A little over a year ago, I interviewed JJ for my blog, and now that I have a podcast I thought he would be an interesting guest to have on. During our conversation we catch up on life, talk about the post-apocalyptic genre and some of the current events going on in Asia, where he lives.

I had a great time talking with JJ and I’m glad he agreed to come on the show.

Aside from our occasional exchanges on Twitter, we haven’t really connected since our last collaboration, when I interviewed JJ for my Creating Awesome project. That was a little over a year ago and our entire world has changed since then.

So before we get into the main topic of our discussion, JJ gives a brief background about himself, and what he's up to these days.

End of the cold war

Born in 1985 which is near the end of the cold war, JJ shares some memories he has of the events from the cold war at that early age.

He remembers the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the Collapse of the Soviet Union.

Cold War 2.0 Increasing Tensions in Asia

While the rest of the World is thinking about the effects of COVID19, protests and riots breaking out in major cities throughout the US and other countries, there seems to be an increase in tensions between the US and China and it centers on Taiwan.

Just prior to this episode I read and article about this in the Nikkei Asian Review and we discuss this at length.

Risk of war is rising rapidly, and China may seek to push tensions even higher

Taiwan is potentially a powder keg that could kick off a major conflict between the worlds two largest super powers and lead to a shooting war.

Post-Apocalyptic Fiction

One of the books JJ has written is The Post-Apocalyptic Writing Guide and is partly the reason why we first got to know each other.

UFOs AND NUKES WITH JEREMY McGOWAN - UFO EDITION 04

UFOs AND NUKES WITH JEREMY McGOWAN - UFO EDITION 04

My guest on this episode of Dead Hand Radio is Jeremy McGowan.

Jeremy is a US Air Force veteran, a researcher and UFO experiencer.

I first became aware of Jeremy when he appeared on season 2, episode 3 of Unidentified - America’s UFO Investigation. That episode was titled UFOs vs Nukes and Jeremy shared details of his encounter with a UAP during that episode.

Since then Jeremy has become active on Twitter and shared more details of his experience on various podcasts. Jeremy and I connected on Twitter and exchanged several messages which resulted in a meeting over lunch and a long discussion about Nukes, UFOs and his experience in the military. We also talked about his relationship with members of TTSA and his plans to pursue his interest in the UFO phenomena.

Fast forward about a month, I invited Jeremy to join me on Dead Hand Radio to talk about some of our shared interests, and the timing could not have been better.

This is one of the longest and most interesting conversations I’ve recorded and we covered a tremendous amount of information. There’s a lot of new ground that Jeremy has never discussed before. And we get philosophical about some of life’s most intriguing mysteries.

Jeremy is a fascinating individual and a rigorous investigator and I believe his contribution to the UFO community has only just begun.

I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed creating it.

NUMBERS STATIONS - DEAD HAND RADIO 12

On this episode of Dead Hand Radio… Numbers Stations with my guest Andy Ussery.

Runtime: 1:02 minutes

Andy is a musician and a fellow podcaster who I met through Twitter. We were introduced through some mutual friends and found out we had some common interests including the topic of this episode. Andy’s also produced some fantastic podcast intros.

This is a topic I’ve wanted to cover for quite some time. In this Andy and I get into some interesting theories and share some fascinating facts about what numbers stations are, their history, who uses them and how and are they still in use today.

We also share some recordings of the most cryptic numbers stations broadcasts available.

By the end of our conversation, one thing is certain… There’s a lot that is known about numbers stations, but there’s a lot that is still unknown about them, and we’re no closer to the truth about these mysterious broadcasts then we were before we started.

However, it’s my hope that by listening to this episode some of you will learn something new and maybe get inspired to research the topic for yourself and see if you can come up with any new ideas or information about the subject.
