• 1292 The Time Plot: When Science Fiction Stops Predicting and Starts Instructing

  FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1292 The Time Plot: When Science Fiction Stops Predicting and Starts Instructing Time travel has always been dismissed as fantasy — until you look closer. In this episode of Strange Planet, we venture into the strange frontier where science fiction stops predicting the future and starts engineering it. Joining me is Professor Mark Brake, who reveals how visionary writers like H.G. Wells mapped the architecture of time long before physicists dared to explore it. From quantum theories and alternate timelines to cryonics and suspended animation, we examine whether humanity has already begun slipping through time without admitting it. Is time a rigid law… or the next barrier waiting to break? GUEST: Professor Mark Brake is a leading science communicator and author exploring the hidden feedback loop between imagination and innovation. He is the author of FutureWorld: Where Science Fiction Becomes Science and numerous bestselling books examining the real science behind Star Wars, superheroes, time travel, and the multiverse. Known for translating complex ideas into gripping narratives, Brake argues that science fiction doesn’t merely entertain — it quietly shapes the laboratories, technologies, and futures we eventually inhabit.

• 1291 Poisoned by the Queen: The Woman Who Killed Alexander the Great

  FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1291 Poisoned by the Queen: The Woman Who Killed Alexander the Great In the opulent palace of Babylon, 323 BC, Alexander the Great—conqueror of empires—collapsed after a single cup of wine. Ten days of agony later, the world's most powerful man was dead at 32, his vast empire fracturing into chaos. History calls it fever or fate. But Graham Phillips, in his explosive book Alexander the Great: Murder in Babylon, proves it was deliberate murder by poison. Using forensic toxicology, eyewitness accounts, and palace intrigue, Phillips exposes a shocking truth: the killer wasn't a rival general, but someone in Alexander's most intimate circle—a woman history has long underestimated. A conspiracy that rewrites the ancient world. GUEST: Graham Phillips is a former BBC radio journalist and bestselling historical investigator who specializes in solving centuries-old mysteries. Known for his rigorous, detective-style approach, he has authored acclaimed books on King Arthur, the Holy Grail, and the Templars. In Alexander the Great: Murder in Babylon, he collaborated with toxicologists and the Los Angeles Police Department to re-examine ancient sources, uncovering compelling evidence of foul play in the conqueror's death. A frequent contributor to History Channel shows like Ancient Aliens and The UnXplained, Phillips brings forensic precision and narrative flair to the shadows of history.

Tonight, the wait ends. The host of Strange Planet and the voice of Ground Zero—America’s most-listened-to paranormal broadcast—meet for the first time in a no-holds-barred truth summit. From Stargate remote viewers to MK-Ultra’s broken minds, from staged hauntings to AI soul-mapping, they expose the chilling endgame: intelligence agencies didn’t just study the paranormal—they weaponized it.

• 1289 THE GENOME GRAB: How Government, Big Tech & Big Medicine Are Claiming Your Child’s DNA

  FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1289 THE GENOME GRAB: How Government, Big Tech & Big Medicine Are Claiming Your Child’s DNA Tonight on Strange Planet, we expose a quiet revolution unfolding in American medicine — one that could redefine parenthood, privacy, and human identity itself. The U.S. government, backed by Big Medicine, Big Tech, and Big Data, is laying the groundwork for mass newborn genome sequencing: decoding nearly every letter of a child’s DNA at birth and storing it indefinitely. Attorney and child-welfare advocate Leah Wilson joins me to reveal how this program works, who profits, and why parents may soon lose control over their children’s biological destiny. This isn’t science fiction. It’s happening now — and the stakes couldn’t be higher. GUEST: Leah Wilson, JD, is an attorney, child-welfare advocate, and co-founder of Stand for Health Freedom, the organization currently suing the CDC in a landmark challenge to federal vaccination policy. She is one of America’s most fearless voices exposing how genomic data is harvested, stored, and weaponized under the banners of “precision medicine” and “public health.” Wilson is also co-author of Reclaim Vitality, written with her husband, Dr. Nick Wilson, revealing how families can exit the machinery of conventional medicine. Her work uncovers a chilling reality: a global genetic arms race is already underway — and our children are on the front lines.

• 1288 The Original Zodiac: Göbekli Tepe and the Forgotten Science of Starlight

  FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1288 The Original Zodiac: Göbekli Tepe and the Forgotten Science of Starlight Eleven thousand years before Babylon, before writing, before the wheel—someone carved a zodiac into stone. At Göbekli Tepe, vultures, serpents, and spiders mark the pillars like living constellations. Tonight, Graham Phillips unveils evidence that these weren’t myths, but data: the earliest known fusion of astronomy, biology, and consciousness. An eighteen-sign zodiac—older, wilder, and eerily accurate—linked human destiny to the stars and seasons. Was this the lost science of a pre-flood civilization? Did they know genetics through starlight? And have we been reading the wrong zodiac for 5,000 years? Prepare to have everything you thought you knew about astrology—and humanity—shattered. Guest: Graham Phillips is a bestselling author, BBC broadcaster, and historical investigator renowned for rewriting ancient history. His books—including The Lost Tomb of King Arthur, The Templars and the Ark, and Atlantis and the Ten Plagues of Egypt—challenge academic orthodoxy with bold evidence. In his groundbreaking new work, The Original Zodiac, Phillips reveals that the world’s oldest temple, Göbekli Tepe, is no mere ruin—it’s the birthplace of astrology, genetics, and cosmic timekeeping, built 11,000 years ago by a lost civilization that understood the heavens, the body, and consciousness as one synchronized system.
