Journey to the Fringe

Thanks for checking out our podcast! We look at fringe topics often neglected, or ill discussed, in a light hearted and open manner. These topics run the gambit from the mundane water pollution, recycling, and tax evasion to the fantastical moth persons, time travellers, and paranormal. For us there’s no cryptid too creepy, topic too trivial, or djinn to dreary. Also we like to do exposes on assholes of the UFO community. To keep things fresh (and also because we aren’t really sure how to start podcasts) we start every week off with a Fringey Mini recent news article and discussion (It’s the podcast equivalent of not knowing what to do with your hands). And as we say in our intro from the unexplained to the mundane, join us on our journey to the fringe.

  Fringge Mini; We love old news

  Aug 19, 20265 minS6

  In this lil' mini we're talking about the happiest explosion in space history — a rocket crash that somehow counts as good news. The Moon gets a makeover, humanity gets data, and the mantids get new neighbors. Since this much anticipated incident has passed, I can no longer find the article so please enjoy this update; https://www.space.com/astronomy/moon/spacex-rockets-moon-crash-highlights-a-tangible-operational-risk-of-lunar-settlement https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/a-spacex-rocket-crashed-into-the-moon-new-images-show-the-aftermath/ar-AA29BRfm

  Greer and Loathing

  Aug 14, 202631 minS6

  This episode reflects our personal opinions and commentary. All referenced material is publicly available on YouTube and used under fair dealing/fair use for the purposes of criticism, review, and discussion. Don't sue us, we're just vibing. In this whirlwind catch‑up on Dr. Steven “Weird Freakish Man” Greer, we dive headfirst into the freshest batch of UFO‑flavored nonsense he’s been cooking up. From Kardashian‑adjacent media tours to $8,000 winery retreats promising “guaranteed UFOs?” Greer’s been everywhere except grounded in reality. Chelsie drags us through his newest claims: ancient basketball‑sized techno‑orbs, government panels that are apparently too disclose‑y, staged abductions starring bio‑nanotech Frankensteins, and time‑traveling jelly descendants who forgot to bring citations. Meanwhile, We slowly realize we might actually love Richard Doty now, because at least Doty’s brand of chaos is consistent. It’s conspiratorial, it’s exhausting, it’s deeply stupid — and somehow, it’s only part one. Buckle up, Fringe Fam. You’re required by law (ours) to return for the sequel.

  Fringey Mini: Ice, Ice Maybe

  Aug 12, 20269 minS6

  This week, we look at the Antarctic tour guides who loved the ice… right up until they couldn’t. Between collapsing glaciers, overwhelmed penguins, and tourists cheering at all the wrong moments, the moral math stopped mathing. So we dig into what happens when your dream job turns into an existential crisis — and why Antarctica might need fewer visitors and more boundaries. https://theconversation.com/i-cant-work-in-the-farce-of-climate-change-cruise-tourism-anymore-why-antarctic-guides-quit-their-dream-jobs-286216 Music credits: Piotr Pacyna- Corduroy and Cheese

  History of Aliens? Pray you find out (part 2 of 2)

  Aug 7, 202632 minS6

  From DMT visions to lucid dreams and real-world encounters, Taylor and Chelsea dive deep into the bizarre world of mantis aliens — exploring firsthand accounts of telepathic insectoid beings, cosmic surgeries, and mysterious meditations that blur the line between consciousness and contact. We return for a follow-up on their mantis alien series — this time venturing into the strangest corners of experiencer testimony. From a DMT traveler meeting a mantis in a cosmic control room to meditative brain “cleanings” and lucid dream conversations with a being named Tat‑Kern, the hosts unpack stories that range from healing encounters to chilling abductions. They even touch on a real-world case from England where a cyclist claims telepathic contact with a seven‑foot mantis after spotting a UFO. It’s a mix of the mystical, the terrifying, and the oddly philosophical — a deep dive into how people describe meeting the mantids that might be watching from beyond the veil.

  Fringey Mini: Blood and urine for the space scientists!

  Aug 5, 20268 minS6

  We dive into a wild piece of space research showing that potato starch — yes, the same stuff in your pantry — can make concrete bricks on Mars or the moon that are twice as strong as the concrete we use on Earth. The University of Manchester team behind “StarCrete” found that potatoes outperform earlier experiments using astronaut blood and urine, offering a far more practical path to building off‑world habitats. We break down the science, the implications for future colonies, and the surprisingly emotional role human tears might still play in Martian construction. In this episode, we explore one of the strangest and most promising breakthroughs in extraterrestrial construction: StarCrete , a potato‑starch‑based concrete that could help astronauts build durable structures on Mars and the moon. According to researchers at the University of Manchester, mixing potato starch with simulated Martian or lunar soil produces bricks with strengths of 72 MPa and 91 MPa , more than double that of conventional concrete on Earth . Even better, just 25 kilograms of dehydrated potatoes can produce over 200 bricks , making it a lightweight, resource‑efficient option for space missions where every kilogram counts. We also revisit the team’s earlier experiments using astronaut blood and urine as binders — a method that worked but came with obvious drawbacks, including the need for astronauts to repeatedly donate bodily fluids . As lead researcher Aled Roberts put it, “Astronauts probably don't want to be living in houses made from scabs and urine” Current pageCurrent page. "Astronauts probably don't want to be living in houses made from scabs and urine," he said in a statement .. But human biology isn’t entirely off the hook: the magnesium chloride used in StarCrete can be sourced from Martian soil or from human tears, meaning future spacefarers might still contribute a little piece of themselves to their homes on other worlds. We unpack the science, the humor, and the huge implications of this research — from in‑situ resource utilization to the future of sustainable off‑world living — all sparked by the humble potato. https://www.space.com/space-bricks-potato-starch-mars-moon-dirt
