Rodney Orpheus is a great guest. In my opinion the guy has his pitch just right. A rock and roll star by day and a master occultist by night. What more could you want?

This interview is unique to the podcast and was conducted last week.

I've interviewed him previously, as becomes clear, but I think this is the first time I really manage to tie him down to some of the specifics of what it is The OTO is about. The book he's written is excellent, The Grimoire of Aleister Crowley, but I suggest if you're new to this stuff you start with his first book: Abrahadabra.

Originally I was kicking an old interview of his around then it occured to me that as we're still in reasonably regular contact it'd be odd for me not to buzz him on the phone and set up a little chat.

This interview had a huge effect on me. It really pushed my mind in certain directions. It's controversial at points but emphasises the fact that irrational spirituality can act as a last defence against tyranny.

This podcast features an interview with Dr Steven Greer of The Disclosure Project. In my opnion they're one of the most interesting sites as regards ET's/UFO's.

As I say in the podcast, I'm not sure what I think about these matters nowadays but I consider them an important thought exercise at the very least. This interview is an example of where those thoughts can lead.

Interview with Jon Ronson from the archives. I’m quite obviously a huge fan of his work. The film we discuss has been posted on Youtube and, while it’s there, I suggest you take a look. Link at the bottom. Title of the film is “Reverend Death”.

The second half of the podcast is the story of watching the Boston attack via Twitter. It’s based on a blog entry on www.margerrisons.blogspot.com called ‘Watching tragedy unfold online… #blamethebombers’.

Thanks to all the tweeters who helped us all make sense of that particular night. You know who you all are.

This interview really struck me at the time. I was taken aback by how mundane everything was as the best friend of a serial killer told me about his time as a boy playing games and mucking about.

Still one of my favourite websites to browse. This interview amuses me because of the gap between a true believer in the field and a casual observer such as myself's realities. Teleportation devices are real? Ace.

A belief system is sometimes tricky to spot in the cut and thrust of your average cult member's life. There's nothing wrong with beliefs it's just important to remember how alike to fantasy they are. These two interviews are on the same theme. One of them is about a tribe in the middle of nowhere and the other is from a writer who scribbled out an ace book a few years ago called "Don't Get Fooled Again".

Without doubt Stewart Lee cut a heroic figure in my life for a certain period. He was obviously brilliant yet had been totally abandoned by the mainstream for no clear reason. It fascinated me that someone who was so obviously a genius in his field was playing small rooms and doing wilfully odd things at gigs.

This interview was done just before he hit the bigtime for a second time. It's an interesting little period piece in that sense. However, it's very much a fan interview so I suggest you go watch some of his stuff on YouTube first.

This interview with "Prophet Yaweh" is marked with an "explicit" rating. It's potentially VERY offensive. The point of it is to suggest that you can and do create your own reality by projecting your intent outwards. If your intent is to call down a UFO or ET or Demon, you'd be surprised at the apparent results. I don't suggest you call one, I do think the 50p experiment in the previous podcast might be a better idea.

"and the only reason I was abducted by aliens in Kathmanduin 1994 was because I went to Kathmandu in 1994 to be abducted by aliens! And it works right? And these fuckers, they will turn up!"

- Grant Morrison The Disinformation Conference

How to call down a UFO

Step 1,

Get a copy of The Bible.

Step 2,

Find the maddest bit of it.

Step 3,

Read it out into the sky.

Step 4

Watch the skies as you read.

That's pretty much it. The bits about sex and so on which are contained in the podcast are not apparently essential to your chances of success.

This podcast features an interview with Jerry Gandalfo, an expert in Voodoo. It also contains part 2 of Essays For The Discordian Occultist. This is an audio version of the series I wrote for the Disinfo.com website. They're easily found there.
