Digging deep in the Getting Spooked vault, I found a love letter to indie rock legend Robert Pollard, his band Guided By Voices, rising above expectations, and the creative life. Something a little different but important to me. tannerfboyle.substack.com/p/guided-by-...
I had a blast going on The Return of the Repressed with Marcus & Sebbe to talk about science in early modern Northern Europe, Swedish political & class history, and Olof Rudbeck's theory that Atlantis was actually in ancient Uppsala.

This week: how parapsychology, The Telepathy Tapes, and the "Skeptics" movement relate to the latest Epstein files releases. Also touched upon: The Phoenix Lights, Bradley’s finds at an estate sale, and I learn the strange terms Yanks have for hotdogs.

It's a good, breezy read despite the subject matter. Incredibly frustrating though because Steven Levy, like all journalists apparently, refused to cite any goddamn thing in the entire book.
Barb Bronfman quote from "The Unicorn's Secret"
Valeria Chomksy email: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...
Chomsky's wife Valeria telling Epstein he's the couple's "best friend" post-conviction in 2017 reminds me of Barb Bronfman saying that Ira Einhorn was "the best friend anybody could ever have" while he was on the lam in Europe fleeing his murder charge.
In many ways Einhorn was a proto-Epstein

Very curious email from [REDACTED] to Jeffrey Epstein in 2014 recounting a "top secret dinner" at a General Dynamics office building that concealed an occult library containing "unbelievable relics", including nazi paraphernalia, moon rocks, and "Vesalius stuff".
James Randi was in attendance.

"Discordian warlocks and unstable informants" is too 2022. "狐狸和老鼠" is what we're saying in 2026.

Randi's denial:

Randi alternatively claimed this tape was either altered by Byrd to defame him, or it was actually part of a police sting designed to entrap actual child predators.
He can't have it both ways, so seems to me Randi was just flailing for excuses after the tape was produced through discovery.
Listener question we answered on this episode: what evidence is there that James Randi was a pedophile?
The evidence comes from a defamation suit against Randi, as covered in this Baltimore Sun article. There's also a folder simply titled "Randi's Pedophilia" in Marcello Truzzi's archive at EMU.
To ring in the Gnome Year, gnomegang answers some questions posed by listeners. First, we catch up by talking about the Montauk Project, CIA magicians, the Canuck tucker convoy, & COVID-19, but we eventually get to two inquiries on our docket. tannerfboyle.substack.com/p/23-gnome-5...
It can sometimes feel like the history of the physical sciences is on its back foot. The AIP History Weekly Edition set out to show that, globally, there's so much going on that you can talk about it weekly and not get to everything. Here's some of what we couldn't get to in 2025. #histsci
I hate the satanic pedophile gangster state more than I can properly express
This was written in 1994. The imbalances in terms of persecution and sheer death toll are now even more stark.

I should've read this ages ago. A stunning book.
The Gnomiary are taking listener questions for our first episode of the new year. This is last call for requests before we record!
Let's fucking go
In one of their most censored episodes to date, the gnome quartet talks disappointing/blindsided skeptics, the glyphosate paper retraction, corporate influence over science, the disintegration of journalism, the disintegration of environment, health, & safety regulations, (cont)
On this episode of the Gnomiary we talked about the blinkered scientism of certain "Skeptics", how Big Industry captured the regulatory state & science journals, and why the government is slipping something into the weed to make you vote Tory. tannerfboyle.substack.com/p/22-gnome-4...

I had a blast recording this episode with the Gnomiary. Tap in for the inside story on King Charles III's obsession with the occult, as well as some sandhill crane content 👇
@themountaingoats.bsky.social This is my second article on Belita Adair's ordeal as a child psychic test subject, an interview with one of the psychologists who worked with her, if you're interested tannerfboyle.substack.com/p/the-childr...
This social history of ufology in Britain is an absolute joy to read. 10/10 highly recommend.
Check out my second article in the Children's Crusade series for Cold War hypnosis research, connections to the infamous Dr. Thomas Narut, and the most "Stanford in the 1970s" story I've ever heard: getting paid in avocados to run parapsychology experiments on a child prodigy.
Today on Getting Spooked: Bradley, Reid, & I joined forces in 2022 & began the vaunted Gnomechat, one of the smallest/most powerful groupchats in the stinky annals of ufology, Forteana, & parapolitics. That energy hits the airwaves for paid subscribers. tannerfboyle.substack.com/p/17-the-gno...
