DEAD HAND RADIO

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.

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

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.

My guest for this UFO Edition of Dead Hand Radio is Thomas Whitmore

Long time MUFON board member Tom Whitmore had been a San Antonio Texas resident since 1984. Originally from Tulsa, Tom graduated with a degree in business administration from Portland State University and had a career in the financial industry since the 1970’s. He was most recently employed as a financial analyst with a local firm in San Antonio where he retired in 2019.  He is an accomplished guitarist and has a grown daughter.

Tom was invited to join the MUFON board in 1995 and experienced the organization’s progress through the successive administrations of Walt Andrus, John Schuessler, James Carrion, Clifford Clift, Dave MacDonald, Jan Harzan and again Dave MacDonald. He serves as Treasurer and focuses on long term and strategic issues for the organization.

Tom has been fascinated by military and intelligence agencies’ interactions with the UFO public. He has undertaken a research study of the history of the MJ12 controversy, and intends to eventually publish his findings. He participates in discussions on the MJ12 topic by giving presentations to local UFO groups, appearing on Internet Podcasts and Radio Shows, and by communicating in social media.

He is currently residing in the Washington DC area, in order to conduct documentary research at the National Archives and the Library of Congress.  He recently published a paper titled “MJ-12, The Counterintelligence Angle” on his website.

Rev Shawn Whittingon is my guest on this Haunted Edition of Dead Hand Radio - Ghosts Demons and Gangsters

Shawn and I talk about his early days when he discovered his ability to see and talk with ghosts and how those experiences changed his life.

We get into the Cold War and talk about his time in the US NAVY.

Then we get into what led to him landing in Las Vegas, NV and what it was like to meet a real life mobster face to face.

My guest for this episode is Kevin Kammann, musician, former US Navy Corpsman and UFO Abductee.

In 1982 Kevin had an experience that changed his life, and simultaneously upended his perception of reality and solidified his belief system.

We talk about the details of his experience and the knowledge he gained during and after this encounter. Then we talk about the negative and positive effects this event had on his life.

Kevin’s experience lasted about an hour and involves time travel, a trip to the moon, an encounter with giant insectoid looking aliens and images of the apocalypse. It’s a fascinating journey and one worth hearing.

My guest for this SciFi Edition of Dead Hand Radio is Editor and Publisher of Apex Magazine and Apex Books, Jason Sizemore.

Jason and I talk about the cold war, science fiction and what it's like to run an independent publishing company.

We discuss his early influences and some of the challenges he's faced during the evolution of Apex.

Then we talk about some of the new and upcoming talented writers working in the genre of science fiction.

Jason also discusses what projects are in the works at Apex Magazine, and announces the launch date of their next Zine.

It's definitely an informative episode and I hope you enjoy.

Linda has a background in science and approaches all of her investigations using the scientific method and applies critical thinking in each case that she looks into. Recently inducted  into the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies she’s also written 30 books.

In this episode Linda and I start off talking about her early days as a child of the Cold War, what she remembers first hand of living under the threat of Nuclear War, then we talk about our shared interest in the space program and discuss how it has evolved as well as the positive direction it’s going now our hopes for the future of that program.

Linda then shares her background as a scientist and her journey from working in the medical industry, to becoming a writer and pursuing a career of studying the paranormal and UFO subjects, and how her training and education as a scientist is applied to these areas of study.

We open up several of her case files from both the paranormal and the UFO studies she’s done, we talk about her latest book that’s out now, and Linda shares some of her personal experiences with the paranormal as well as a UFO sighting she had first hand. All of which has helped solidify her conviction that these topics warrant further study by the scientific community.

I’m also joined by Jeremy McGowan with an update on his own experiences with these phenomena and a few teasers about his work with SkyHub and a new project he has in the works.

In this episode, Jonathan shares two sightings he had just days apart, and less than a week ago. He goes into detail about his thoughts on the sightings and what steps he took to help his mind come to grips with what he had witnessed.

We also talk about Jonathan’s military service and how that may have helped him process this experience.

Then we get into the topic of UFO disclosure and how the “Culture” of the military may be changing to be more accepting of these types of experiences among members of the military community.

All this and more on the UFO Edition.

Thanks for listening.

My guest for this episode is Melinda Leslie, UFO Researcher, Investigator and experiencer.

I’ve followed Melinda’s work in the UFO Disclosure movement for a while and learned that she’s not only a respected and well known researcher, investigator with 30 years of experience on the subject of UFOs and abductions, She’s also the owner of a UFO tour company in Sedona AZ, where she has conducted over 1270 tours with the use of military grade night vision goggles, Sedona a well known hotspot for UFO activity, and Melinda guarantees sightings on each outing.

She’s a multiple abductee that went public over 28 years ago and has a lifetime of experiences with the beings that control these craft. Sometimes referred to as “The Others”.

Melinda is also quite well connected with some very important insiders on this topic and is one of the leading researchers in pursuit of making government disclosure a reality.

In this episode, Melinda and I talk about her experiences as an abductee, how she became aware that she had been an abductee her whole life and how her abductions have evolved over time.

We also talk about MILABs, or Military Abductions. Melinda has done extensive work with abductees and is herself an abductee of this program. Melinda lays out in detail some of the things she’s discovered during her research on this subject and discusses the programs’ agenda, many of the methods used in this scenario and the people that are most often targeted.

Then we get into the topic of UFO disclosure and Melinda shares her observations in that area.

Finally we discuss how people can get more involved in bringing this subject to light.

It’s an information packed episode with some very interesting twists on this UFO Edition of Dead Hand Radio.

Thanks for listening.

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

Thanks for listening

This was the interview that inspired me to launch this entire 12 episode series, appropriately titled The Dead Hand Radio Halloween Edition.

Thanks for listening.

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.

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.

He also recollects some stories that his parents and other family members shared with him about the Soviet Union and the impending threat of nuclear war.

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. 

My guest for this episode is Independent filmmaker and a film professor at CU Denver’s College of Arts & Media David Liban.

David and I talk about filmmaking and the recent release of his post-apocalyptic film A Feral World. We also talk about his experience as a young boy growing up in the 70s and how the implications of the Cold War affected him and his outlook on the world.

It’s a fascinating discussion with a multitude of resources and information for anyone interested in filmmaking so be sure to have a pen and paper handy to take notes. And above all please enjoy the show.

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.

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.

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.

EPISODE 8 - UFO PODCASTER ANDY McGRILLEN 

My guest today is Host of That UFO Podcast, Andy McGrillen

Andy is a podcaster, Scottish by birth and currently lives in the North East part of England with his wife and two children. Aside from being a podcaster, father and husband, Andy also has a lifelong interest in UFOs and he’s interviewed many well known members of the UFO community.

Andy and I met on Twitter, of course. Even though we live on different continents, the Internet being the most powerful communication medium ever, has made it possible to connect with people all around the world. When I discovered That UFO Podcast I reached out to him because of my own fascination with UFOs.

After several texts, I figured there’s certainly enough Cold War related UFO incidents worth diving into on this show, and I invited him on to discuss some of these events.

This episode will focus on UFOs and Aliens, and for listeners who tune in to hear about the cold war, don’t run away just yet. The cold war era had many UFO sightings and Alien encounters. In fact, the UFO phenomena actually became popular during the cold war.

To start, the Roswell Incident, which occurred in 1947, involved the crash landing of an unidentified craft, in the New Mexico desert near the town of Roswell. That incident was preceded by another very well known sighting just a few days earlier by pilot Kenneth Arnold who witnessed 9 saucer shaped craft flying at unimaginable speeds in the skies of southern Washington, between Mt Rainier and Mt Adams. It was this encounter that resulted in the term “flying saucers”.

These are only two of the UFO events recorded during the cold war era. And if you’re still not convinced this subject is interesting, stick around til the end for a bonus segment. And I’ll share a case that'll leave you wondering what these things are and why they’re here.

Finally, I’d like to mention that I really enjoy Andy’s podcast. He takes a very professional approach to his interviews, while at the same time maintains an easy and laid back atmosphere, but doesn’t shy away from getting into sensitive areas and asking hard questions that elicit interesting responses from his guests.

For these reasons I’ve invited Andy McGrillen to be my guest and discuss UFOs and the Military on this episode of Dead Hand Radio.

My guest on this episode is Heather @ExplorationProject

Heather is an “Adventure Blogger” an explorer, and photographer. Her website and social media activity are focused on positivity and inspiration and she’s extremely well liked due to her positive attitude and uplifting posts on Twitter and Instagram.

I first became aware of Heather through an online literary magazine, called Barren Magazine, which we both contributed to. One of her photos was selected as the “Cover” for that month and instantly got my attention. So I followed her as I did many creative people from Barren Magazine around that time. Since then, Her work has stood out because of her positive outlook and friendly personality and we’ve been exchanging posts ever since.

Most of Heather’s photography consists of landscapes, wildlife and her dog Marco, but what first attracted me to her photography was those abandoned structures. And the way she always includes something informative and entertaining with her posts.

This episode will focus on being positive, the importance of getting outdoors and exploring the world around us, and generally being a curious observer in life in order to stay sane in an insane world. 

Aside from everything else I mentioned, Heather is a native of Canada, she loves the outdoors, hiking, and traveling, and lives with her husband and her dog Marco. She’s also an inspiration to me and I’m excited she accepted my invitation to come on this podcast.

My guest today is Phantom Dark Dave

Dave is a podcaster, screenwriter, filmmaker and actor, but he might best be known for his two podcasts, Dave’s Pop Culture Podcast (which is now a YouTube channel) and The Podcast From Another World, where he talks about all things pop culture, including movies and comic books. 

In fact Dave has spent his whole life idolizing films, especially those of the Horror genre and he’s written a couple of his own movies. He’s tried his hand at acting and directing and rumor has it he’s even worked  with Troma films. And He’s won a few awards as a filmmaker. 

Dave and I first met through our mutual friend Evan @FromTheWastes on Twitter and we’ve been talking about collaborating on something ever since. 

In fact, the more we talk, the more we find that we have in common which is one the reasons I invited Dave to come on.

This episode goes quite a bit off-topic from what it usually focuses on, but Dave has been such a source of inspiration to the podcast that I insisted and he accepted.

Aside from everything else I mentioned, he’s a father, he lives in Texas with his cat (Kick) and he’s an all around decent human being. He’s also one of the people responsible for me starting this podcast.

DEAD HAND RADIO is currently exploring the Cold War and its impact on our world, our culture and the future of.

What is the Dead Hand?

Starting in the late 1940s and through the 1990s the US and the former USSR were embroiled in a cold war. Several times throughout the tumultuous decades, these two great nations and their allies nearly escalated into an all out thermonuclear war that could wipe out civilization several times over and leave planet Earth a barren wasteland for thousands of years.

In the 80’s during the Reagan administration, the US implemented The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), also known as Star Wars. This Space Based Missile Defense Platform was intended to force the USSR to exhaust their military budget in an attempt to end the cold war. In response the Soviet war machine went into full on MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) Mode and did something no one expected.

Enter the Dead Hand

The Dead Hand is a Soviet era doomsday device that was created in response to the massive build up of the US nuclear arsenal. It's designed to launch a counter offensive strike against the US and their allies in the instance that Russia is destroyed by a first strike.

While many skeptics say the dead hand is a myth, there are some experts who would argue, and even some eyewitnesses who have come forward and claim that the dead hand is real.

What’s even more concerning is that it may still be active...

DEAD HAND RADIO was created to focus on issues of existential threats to life on earth.

If you’ll join me, together we’ll begin our journey with a trip through the cold war, nuclear weapons and the future of warfare. Afterall, the history of human civilization is the history of war.

Some episodes will be solo, where I’ll deliver a monologue based on a thesis I’ve prepared for that episode. Other episodes will include guests who can bring specific knowledge and expertise on different areas.

My goal is to explore these topics with the audience. To learn. To educate. To entertain and exchange ideas with those interested.

And to present factual information about the world we live and the precarious nature of our human existence.

So my invitation to you, is take this ride with me and together we’ll find out where it goes.

If you or someone you know has a comment or question about, or would like to contribute to the conversation, please contact me.

Thanks for listening.

THIS IS DEAD HAND RADIO

My guest for this show is Marshall Barnes, a Research and Development Engineer. Marshall is an inventor, a musician and a brilliant thinker. He has written several papers on many fascinating topics which offer a widely different opinion on some quite controversial topics.

Suffice it to say that Marshall defends his views unequivocally and is willing to engage in open debate with anyone who disputes his findings and conclusions. This is one reason why I felt compelled to interview Marshall for this podcast.

Also, I find Marshall’s work highly relevant to the topic of this podcast. His work and his arguments offer a viable solution that could, If funded and implemented correctly, potentially solve every possible existential threat to life on this planet.

His solution… Time Travel to the past. I realize this idea seems quite radical, and potentially even ludicrous, but I urge you to hear his argument before passing judgement.

During our conversation Marshall and I discussed his hypothesis in great detail. He argues that escaping the Earth to go into space is a huge waste of time, money and resources. He believes his solution to be far more economical and potentially more viable.

Specifically he proposes to send groups of human settlements back in time to the year 12KB4 or 12,000 years ago. Roughly 10k BC which is around the end of the last ice age.

Unfortunately, the interview didn’t go quite as planned and we experienced some technical difficulties right at the beginning of the conversation. This resulted in a less than ideal audio quality and required parts of the interview to be omitted from the episode. I mention this because I don’t want you to expect crystal clear audio and then two minutes in get frustrated and leave before you’ve heard the whole conversation.

So please be patient, listen with an open mind and try to enjoy the show as much as I enjoyed creating it for you.

Whether you agree or disagree with Marshall’s views, he certainly has some unique ideas about the world we live in and the potential calamities we’re faced with, especially in these uncertain times.

Marshall and I continued our conversation for a while longer and got into some other things, but the parts I’ve shared are definitely the most relevant to listeners of this podcast, and I felt it best to keep the episode under 1 hour. If you’re interested in hearing the whole conversation, please let me know.

My sincere thanks to Marshall for allowing me to spend this time with him, and sharing his insight and knowledge with me and all of you. Anyone interested in learning more about Marshall’s work, I encourage you to read his papers at Academia.EDU, and follow him on Twitter @Paranovation.
