#haunted cosmos podcast

[dragonanne4fun]

If Fox Mulder were a Christian living in the year of our Lord 2024, he would be listening to the Haunted Cosmos podcast. Just sayin'

[incomingalbatross]

Frankly Dipper's more lined up to be a (real) version of Stan with the Mystery Shack than Ford's scientific pursuits.

He's going to be the head of a podcast researching the paranormal and dramatically describing supposedly paranormal haunts and investigating current claims ala Haunted Cosmos while Ford wants to be a respected scientific researcher.

Yeah exactly! I mean, Dipper hated the fake aspects of the Shack but... not really the showmanship, I think? (Kid's got flair of his own and he's not ashamed of that.) He wants respect and recognition and legitimacy as much as Ford does, but those mean different things to the two of them. And his career dreams seem more geared to popular education/appeal and definitely not toward academic pursuits for their own sake.

(Though of course, fair's fair, Dipper is twelve and Ford's dreams of Public Recognition are coming from a different stage in life. The fact remains that at this age Dipper is aiming in a different direction and has different interests than Ford.)

Regardless, I support him! Dipper running around the world like a cross between Indiana Jones and the Scooby Gang, with a self-produced show, sounds delightful.

Hello and welcome to Thin Places Radio. I’m your host,

and it is the middle of the night. But don’t worry. You’re not alone.

[Thin Places theme] 

I’m coming to you awed from my studio, which is what I like to call this silent, endless field of windmills I’ve found myself at the foot of. I am smaller even than the dot at the center of the blades. Every second, they blink red, then go dark again. Red. Black. Red. Black. There. It’s like they’re all breathing together, or all looking out for something, a hundred eyes opening in unison.

Something is beginning to spin them off in the distance, coming this way. I don’t feel a breeze. The night air is still and empty. But something has them shuddering and turning, faster and faster, moving through the herd like a swarm of biting flies.

So… what is Thin Places Radio? Well, you can call in about anything strange that you’ve got going on in your life - feelings, omens, premonitions, hauntings.

Are you getting help from the other side?

Are you looking for something small?

Are you seeing someone across the street that no one else can see?

When the veil between worlds is thin, we get closer than ever to the strange and the unexplained - but also to each other. Call in, get it off your chest. Lines are open.

[click] [voicemail:]

I am feeling particularly wistful this evening, and wondering if time itself has lost its balance. Maybe, just maybe, there is something out there - smaller than we think it is. 

[click] 

You’ve got me wistful over here, too, caller – next door to you in the neighborhood of the cosmos.

I don’t think time has a balance – or, if she does, not one that I will ever understand.

[steel guitar - eerie, curious music begins]

There is no real moment where the hourglass is balanced. A grain of sand doesn’t suspend itself in midair. The next one is always falling behind it. We never have the present moment. And yet, the present moment is all we ever have.

Time doesn’t need to hold steady. She passes. Sometimes slowly, and sometimes relentlessly, but she never pauses, not once. There is life to live. There is rot to progress. There is hair to gray and water to flow and billboards to peel and bleach white. Even if you lose track of her, she never loses track of you. Well. Of most of us.

We’re all one of those little grains of sand, caller. Everything big is made up of something smaller, and smaller, and smaller. The windmill field is each windmill, and each blade, and each atom of metal, and each person who welded it together in the factory, who loaded its parts onto the train that would bring it across the country to this place, who worked the machinery to piece it all together. And each of those people is every moment they’ve ever been through, and every person they’ve ever loved, and every mistake they’ve ever made, and every bright thing that’s captured their interest or their ire.

Am I making any sense, listeners? Maybe not. I’ll try again. The big things are hard to touch. We let them pass through us and then remember how it felt. We keep the big things in the small things, because the small things are what we have. But that’s good. That makes them easier to hold on to.

I’m here. So are you. All the impossible things exist anyway. And thank God for that.

[click]

[a swarm of creatures]

[click] 

The windmill above me is creaking to life. There’s still no wind, but I can feel something moving, trying to settle around me. The red lights are flashing quicker, now, uneven. There’s a pattern to them that I can’t understand. I think they’re speaking, in whatever way they can, but they aren’t speaking to me. The invisible swarm passes right by me, and around me, but it doesn’t settle – except for the brush of one small animal-insect-something that does not have a taxonomy that lands on the back of my hand, for just a second. I feel chitin or scales or feathers or fur. And then it’s gone, and everything, including the windmills, is still again.

[click]

Thank you for listening, callers, and thank you for calling, listeners. I hope you feel a little bit lighter. I know I do. As always, our number is 717.382.8093. That’s 717.382.8093. Until next time. I’ll be here.

Inspired by Haunted Cosmos podcast.

[sonata-in-ink]

Galaxy, joy, sun and 1975, please! 🤗💖☀️

galaxy; what fascinates you?

Ohh, so many things! The human mind, space, the ocean, history. . . I love reading/hearing theories about mysteries of the cryptid variety! Currently I've been listening a lot to the Haunted Cosmos podcast, because they investigate a lot of odd, fascinating stuff without over-sensationalizing/glorifying it!

joy; best feeling you've ever experienced?

The peacefulness that comes over you when you're on a float trip, nothing weighing your heart down, just you and your loved ones and the sun and the river gently bringing you to your destination.

sun; favorite season?

Autumn, most certainly! With spring coming in second.

1975; if you could time travel to any period, what would it be and why?

I love the 18th century! If I had to pick another, I'd like to be a casual observer of Ancient Mesopotamia.

thank you!!

My media this week (22-28 Oct 2023)

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

🙂 The Golden Spoon (Jessa Maxwell, author; full voice cast narration) - a perfectly cromulent book: totally predictable to anyone who's read more than 1 mystery but still entertaining in both characters and plot. Gerald, my autistic king, you were definitely my fave. [I did like the idea of having a different voice narrator for each character, since the chapter POVs switch, but the narrator for Stella sounded like the Tiktok automated voice about 90% of the time. I could tell I was going to get annoyed with that & with the way audio draws things out when I can read text so much faster and it became clear the plot was going to be so predictable, so I switched over to reading text ~35%.]

Pursued by Bear (Zenaidamacrouras1) - MCU: shrunkyclunks, 19K - reread, forever fave, inspired by that tweet about the UFC & Shakespeare conventions occurring in the same hotel

A Tricky Bit of Spellwork (AidaRonan) - OFMD: gen, 1K - legit the only way I'll accept Izzy not being dead is this

Haunted Cosmos is a great, new podcast. It’s two Christians taking on the supernatural.

They only have a few episodes since they just started. But they’re good. They just dropped a new one today on sleep paralysis/demons

[deadinarussianelevator]

Started listening to a new podcast called Haunted Cosmos and it's very enjoyable, although they stretch some biblical things a little... far, in my opinion. Not in any heretical way, just... in a way that could be reading into things a little bit.

PAINT BY MURDERS - a Harrisburg Homicide Mystery Audio Book PAINT BY MURDERS, is the audio version of the first in a series of (as of yet) unpublished “Harrisburg Homicides.” The Capital city and its art galleries, bars, restaurants, and long-held secrets are featured in this cozy-inspired mystery that is as unpredictable as the mighty Susquehanna River it sits on. When painter Keith Reed stumbles across a dead body in a Harrisburg bookstore, he doesn’t yet know that the victim was bludgeoned with an autographed brick once used in a work by the internationally famous “bad boy” artist Alan Moonshine. Moonshine has been dead for ten years, but his dangerous legacy pushes Keith and his wife, Ginger, to try to paint a picture of what happened before anyone else is murdered, or before Keith’s narcolepsy catches him napping at the worst possible moment. After a local art gallery recreates a few of Moonshine’s outrageous performances, the actor who portrayed Moonshine is arrested for the crime. Keith suspects that the real killer is still on the loose in this river town: a theory that proves true when a second body is found, floating in the Susquehanna. https://audiofiction.co.uk/show.php?id=20231019-02 RSS: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2256741.rss

Horoscopes for June 28 - July 4

Aires (March 21 - April 19): Your greatest failure will come back to haunt you in new and exciting ways, bringing ruin upon your latest endeavors, but benefiting those around you greatly.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20): In the infinite cosmos, you are but a speck, insignificant against the scope of eternity. But at the Foosball table? Oh man, you're gonna crush it.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20): You will soon find yourself subject to an extremely predictable issue that you could have easily avoided with minimal effort and chose not to for reasons known to no one, least of all yourself.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22): People care immensely about your opinions, and now is the perfect time for you to launch that podcast.

Leo (July 23 - August 22): Despite your best efforts, the sun will rise again.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22): No one suspects a thing. Everything is coming together exactly as planned, right under their noses. Bide your time a little longer and you'll get away with it without a hitch.

Libra (September 23 - October 22): You will feel no shame as you unintentionally commit a grievous social faux-pas. Your friends will forgive you, but they also won't tell you what you did wrong, and you'll probably make the same mistake again later.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): That joke you've been dying to tell your friends? Now's really not the time. It's definitely funny, and your personal style is ideal for telling it, but it's not going to land this week. I'm as disappointed as you are.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21): You will learn something seemingly trivial that will save your life five to seven years from now.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19): You will have a frustrating but ultimately benign interaction with someone whose passion for insects goes maybe a little too far.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): Your preoccupation with an extremely minor facet of your life is preventing you from reaching your true potential. Keep it up, let someone else have a turn at being good at things.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20): There are precisely two people you can punch with absolutely zero negative repercussions this week. I know who they are, but if you think I'm just gonna tell you then you're a bigger fool than you look.

SOME LISTS BY DINA HORNREICH

In a not-so comprehensive (mostly desultory) manner I have thrown this list of current zeitgeisty kinds of things that I encountered in one way or another that had various compelling bits, chunks, and other substantial nuggets (if not their complete entirety) of a musical persuasion that provided something engaging, amusing, enlightening, challenging, discordant, or otherwise worthwhile for my freaky mind, body, and soul to chew on in this last year of 2019. There are always tons and tons of things that I missed and/or never got to (but always meant to) so not exhaustive whatsoever.

 And to go full circle around in the weird miasmic disorientations of blogs/zines, and every tool in between...I could mention the writers at Bust, Bitch, Pitchfork, even… DAGGER. But credit for discoverability also includes the vending platforms of Spotify/Bandcamp/Apple Music/Soundcloud themselves (and their haunted algorithms) as well as musicians’ various social media counterparts (which may or may not include their publicists) on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. (and where does YouTube fit in exactly?) which means the industry will eventually eat itself. Happy New Year, ladies and germs. Who knows what the next decade will bring? Whatever it may be, let it be progress rather than random changes for no apparently good reasons.
