Downward Facing Dogma: Fascist Yoga and the Grandiose Grifters of "Wellness” with Stewart Home

Stewart Home, writer, artist, man who can literally stand on his head and recite hia work (which includes cultural commentaries, poems, short stories, essays, and well, if it involves the written word and a radically political bent...Stewart's done it). He's been at it since the early 1980s, born and raised in London, and....Let's cut to the chase.His book is called "Fascist Yoga: Grifters, Occultists, White Supremacists, and the New Order In Wellness."Yes, an accomplished human being that Greg had never heard of (there are many) wrote a book with that title and if you're under any impression Greg isn't going to interview that guy on his show, you've been listening to too much Jay Shetty.To quote Stewart's description: "In this he sweeps away the lies to tell a new origin story of the world's first modern yogi – a Californian escapologist who added some Hindu fairy dust to gym and circus exercises. ​Ever since the world of yoga has been full of grifters, occultists and white supremacists, all out to exploit and recruit via the medium of exercise."You've just finished saluting the sun and in return, it flipped you the bird.Breathe in, breathe out. A tall glass of truth will do a lot better for you than sniffing that essential oil...Stewart's Links: Purchase the book here - Fascist Yoga: Grifters, Occultists, White Supremacists, and the New Order In Wellnesshttp://www.stewarthome.co.uk/  Let Greg know how you like the show.

Vibe Séancing: Emotions, Entanglement, and a Unified Theory of the Paranormal with Psychical Researcher John Fraser

In this must-listen paranormal podcast episode of Open Loops, Greg interviews John Fraser—Council Member of the Society for Psychical Research and author of Paranormal Perspectives: One Big Box of Paranormal Tricks. Together they explore the groundbreaking idea that all paranormal events—from ghosts to poltergeists to UFOs—might stem from a single psychic force within us.  That’s right. No polyamorous forces, Aubrey Marcus. Cool your jets.Fraser, wo has investigated hundreds of cases including the Enfield poltergeist and the Cage haunting in Essex, lays out a compelling scientific and psychological framework. Instead of external entities, he suggests that stress, trauma, and altered states of consciousness may trigger these phenomena.John and Greg discuss hypnotic regression, ESP experiments, false memory formation, and why Fraser believes random event generator technology could be key to proving the paranormal scientifically. This conversation challenges demonology (sorry new Pope), explores the psychology behind ghost sightings, and makes a strong case for a unified paranormal theory.If you’re curious about how consciousness, haunted locations, and poltergeist behavior intersect in a scientifically grounded way and you love how that all wraps together in one sentence optimized for SEO, this is the top fringe science podcast episode of 2025 to hear.🔗 John’s Links📖 Book: Paranormal Perspectives – One Big Box of Paranormal Tricks  Let Greg know how you like the show.

The Man Who Built Britney Spears a Time Machine with Inventor Françoie Gagnon

Oops, I did it again - click - oops, I did it again - click - oops, did it again....He built a time machine in his car. It caught fire. The government showed up. Then Britney Spears bought one.Yes, really.Welcome to the mind of Francoie Gagnon, Quebec’s very own chrononaut, consciousness tech inventor, and DIY engineer of mind-matter machines. In this episode of Open Loops, Francoie joins Greg to talk about the real story behind time travel technology: scalar waves, Tesla coils, radionic devices, and vortex-powered quantum portals.A French-accented conspiracy theorist who isn’t ranting about Macron? Count yourself in. Francoie’s been researching fringe science and time travel tech since the dial-up days. He’s spoken directly to the legends—Al Bielek, Preston Nichols, Steven Gibbs, even claimed contact with John Titor. He’s built devices based on the Philadelphia Experiment, opened miniature portals, and had actual users vanish (for real). Oh, and he’s been featured on MTV.This is not your typical “aliens built the pyramids” fare. This is DIY time travel for the curious mind.  If you’re into parallel timelines, dimensional shifts, quantum weirdness, or just want to know what kind of time machine Britney Spears allegedly bought on eBay... this episode delivers.Where the impossible meets meticulous Canadian tinkering, Francoie’s story will make you question your clock, your past, and whether your microwave is secretly a stargate.Buckle up, traveler.Francoie's Links: http://timenomore.tripod.comHis YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@ThinkHarder The Paranormalis Forums to find Francoie's time adventures - https://paranormalis.com/forums/time-machines-experiments.61/ Let Greg know how you like the show.
