Richard Syrett's Strange Planet

America is drowning in debt. Its borders are strained, institutions distrusted, bureaucracy entrenched and currency relentlessly diluted. Historian Jeremy Ryan Slate argues we’ve seen this movie before. Using his provocative Roman Pattern, Slate joins Richard Syrett to ask: Is the American Empire merely declining, or quietly being dismantled from within?

GUEST: Jeremy Ryan Slate is a historian, entrepreneur, author and media host whose work examines the recurring forces that shape the rise, transformation and decline of civilizations. He holds a Master’s degree in European History, specializing in the Early Roman Empire, from Seton Hall University and studied Catholic literature at Oxford University.

Slate is the creator and host of The Roman Pattern, a framework exploring how civilizations repeatedly confront similar institutional incentives involving money, borders and power. He also hosts Hidden Forces in History and The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show, and is CEO of Command Your Brand.

Through the lens of Rome, Slate examines an unsettling question for our own age: Does history repeat, or do the incentives that destroy empires repeat?

Silicon Valley once promised better technology. Now its high priests promise immortality, artificial consciousness and human-machine transcendence. Richard welcomes Dr. Steve McVey to ask whether AI is becoming a synthetic spiritual authority, whether a soul can be uploaded, and whether humanity is approaching an awakening—or constructing a counterfeit religion.

GUEST: Dr. Steve McVey is a bestselling author, theologian and provocative voice exploring the intersection of spirituality, consciousness, neuroscience and quantum thought. He has authored more than two dozen books, including Grace Walk, Beyond an Angry God, Quantum Life: The Kingdom of God Is Within You, 52 Lies Heard in Church Every Sunday, The Secret of Grace, Anchored, Helping Others Overcome Addiction and The Grace Walk Experience.

Known for challenging conventional religious paradigms, McVey explores Christian mysticism, non-duality, consciousness, neuroplasticity and the convergence of ancient spiritual wisdom with emerging ideas about the nature of reality. His work raises provocative questions about identity, God, human consciousness and whether today's technological quest for transcendence represents genuine human progress, or a dangerous imitation of something humanity once understood as spiritual.

Before the hockey mask. Before the machete. Before Jason Voorhees became a horror icon, there was Ari Lehman, the first Jason in 1980’s Friday the 13th. Richard explores Jason’s unlikely birth, horror as modern mythology, our fascination with evil, the paranormal, and why monsters never really die.

GUEST: Ari Lehman holds a singular place in horror history as the first actor to portray Jason Voorhees, delivering the unforgettable final jump scare in the original 1980 Friday the 13th. But Lehman’s story extends far beyond Crystal Lake. An accomplished musician, composer, jazz pianist and lifelong student of monster mythology, he has spent decades exploring why horror, fear and supernatural storytelling exert such a powerful hold on us.

UFOs have escaped the fringe. With TIME declaring “The New Case for Aliens,” filmmaker and MUFON Media Relations Director Ron James joins Richard Syrett to examine the state of Disclosure, emerging government files, scientific acceptance, and the bigger question: Are we witnessing genuine transparency—or a carefully managed narrative?

GUEST: Ron James is an award-winning filmmaker, investigative researcher, and Media Relations Director for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). He is the creator of the acclaimed Accidental Truth documentary series, exploring the evidence surrounding UAPs and the political, scientific, intelligence, and cultural forces shaping the Disclosure debate. His work asks a question increasingly central to the UFO mystery: Who controls what the public is allowed to know?

For nearly forty years, Richard P. Jackson has entered allegedly haunted homes, confronted claims of demonic possession and participated in exorcisms. Trained by legendary investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, Jackson reveals what he believes lurks beyond the veil, why some spirits deceive, and what happens when you challenge the darkness.

GUEST: Richard P. Jackson is a veteran paranormal investigator and medium whose extraordinary journey began when his own family encountered something terrifying in a New England farmhouse. Seeking help brought him to Ed and Lorraine Warren, who became his mentors. He later studied mediumship at Lily Dale and worked alongside renowned exorcist Bishop Robert McKenna.

Over nearly four decades, Jackson says he has cleared hundreds of allegedly haunted locations, participated in scores of exorcisms and encountered phenomena that convinced him evil is an intelligent, deceptive force. Now facing Stage IV pancreatic cancer, Jackson is reflecting on a lifetime spent investigating the boundary between the living, the dead—and what he believes may be waiting beyond it
