The Shaws are married and share lifetimes of experiences with extraterrestrials. These occurred both before and after they met. One is a retired health care professional, while the other is a journalist. We discuss their shared and separate experiences. Moreover, it seems there might be an ancestral tie to the alien's focus on Mr. Shaw. We explore crafts, physical descriptions, and communication methods. There are also certain frightening theories. The word "harvesting" arose.

Sean BW Parker has been and around the arts his entire life. After spending 10 years in Turkey, he returned to England and opened a concert venue with a bed & breakfast planned. This was on the Southern coast of England. This venture lasted only a number of months. There was dissension within the investors. They faced regulatory, legal and neighbor problems. Did I mention the ghosts? Turns out, the place was haunted. Sean and others experienced sounds, slamming, thrown glasses, propelled wall clocks, and coordinated shutters and outdoor doors slamming on repeat. Parker is a self described skeptic and is the author of 9 books. The paranormal is not his jam. But it was his life.

Don't fear my first words, this is Garden Views. My guest is Edo Van Belkhom has been a working writer. He's been compared to Stephen King. He won the Bram Stoker award once and was nominated another time. He's won the Canadian Aurora Award. There are others. he wrote erotica and stories for truckers supported by the trucking industry (yes, 2 different gigs). Some of his works were adapted for a television series starring Sarah Michelle Geller. He's almost been a household name more than once. Maybe he still will be. His compedium of short stories is being re-published to celebrate its 25 year anniversary. I started down the Doom road as I expected to focus on the horrors of his imagination. We touched on those of course. But the real tale was his. A writer, working and toiling, and having success in a variety of places, while just missing the big score.

Jamie Chambers is a British actor who's featured in a lot of current films in the horror and sci-fi genres. He's been a heavy gun stormtrooper in Star Wars 7 and lots of other funs things you've seen and will (House of the Dragon). We talk about everything. From the business aspects, to SAG and the UK equivalent, to the employment status per project. But we also talk about comics, movies and pretty much everything. No, we never spoke or met before. Yes, we might be best friends now. Apologies to all, somehow the cyber gods did not allow us to use any version of the promised outro.

Jake and Jeff Lippman are back on your airwaves, reviewing the week in the UFL. We are much improved! A combined 7-1 prediction count this week. Who's up? Who's down? What's hot? What's not? Are the extra point option rules backfiring? Should certain teams make a trade? Can losing your starting QB be a good thing? And a full break down and recap of all the games.

If you took "True Blood", some of "American Gods", and tossed in some "Eternals", and shook them up in a snowglobe you purchased at Giza, you might get this book as the result. Yvonne Garcia Zaher wrote "The Annubis Chronicles" and Book One Origins is the first installment. There are gods, demigods, vampires, demons, werewolves (lots of werewolves), witches, shape shifters, elves, dark elves, star travellers, dragons, politics, criminals, cops, children of light, and crows. They all play parts in a story that starts with broken, dead bodies in the desert, but leads to prophecies that could end all supernaturals on Earth. Probably all magic. Maybe end humanity. Maybe end the gods themselves. It's a lot to unpack. Hear from the author.

They are said to have come from nowhere with a fully formed society, only to have disappeared into nowhere. They are the Atlantis of North America. The Egypt or Sumeria. They are mysterious, revered, and 100% confirmed as real. They are the Olmecs. The so called "Mother Culture" of Mezoamerica. Our friend, Robert Bitto, re-enters the Garden and separates fact from legend, what we know from what we don't, and what is with the giant head sculptures. This is no legend of the temple. But we do discuss legends and probably a temple or several.

Jake and Jeff cover the news and notes regarding the UFL. We also break down the USFL division, scoring each team and making way early division and league predictions. We also predict the winners of this weekend's first 4 games.

Gary Wayne returns to the Garden to discuss his long anticipated follow up to Genesis6. To do so, we visit with the giants, both pre and post Flood. We add some of the secret wisdom and try to give them names that correspond to various mythologies. Gary goes into detail about the various types and tribes of giants, whether they were large in size or just large in impact. Who were the patriarchs? How have their bloodlines survived and what those 10 families want. Are we nearing the end of days? Is this the final 7 years or are we in the age of victory? What is the proper interpretation of uncorrupted prophecy using the actual language and not adding or subtracting inconvenient words or concepts? Are all prophecies unavoidable? Are the new oligarghs friend or foe? What is the 300 Trillion Club? This might be the most Garden of Doom episode ever. Putin. Xi. Davos. Og. Gilgamesh. Anu, Ba'el, El, Enlil & Enki. These are only some of familiar words that are part of the conversation.

The Lipp Men, Jake & Jeff, breakdown the news and tidbits of the week regarding the UFL and related items. We discuss and debate a few salient issues. And we cover the 4 teams in the XFL Division. We give them numerical rankings for now. Notable cuts and adds are identified. Roster moves and coaching decisions are analyzed. Also, when doing alphabetically, does the S A I in St. Louis count, or do you just use St.? #UFL #XFL #USFL #Football #SpringFootball #ArlingtonStallions #DCDefenders #SanAntonioBrahmas #StLouisBattlehawks.

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, Mark Olly (international TV star) returns to the Garden to discuss the Celts. They're not just Irish. In fact, they may be one of the most influential peoples of Europe. Mark goes through their history, geography, genetics, and follows their legends, lore and religions. We cover druids, The Morrigan, Boudicca, Arthur, The Merlin(s), Finn McCool, The Giant's Causeway, and so much more. Including the tale of St. Patrick and how a Celtic god prophecy eased his path on the Emerald Isle. #Celts #Druids #KingArthur #Merlin #Leprechauns #FinnMcCool #Morrigan #StPatrick #Mythology #Lore #Legends

Jake and Jeff Lippman and UFL super fans in training. It's the first season and we're hoping a lot of you are interested too. The XFL/USFL merger happened so quickly, it took everyone by surprise. But this is an opportunity to enjoy Spring football in one league, rather than trying to learn 2 leagues playing simultaneously. We don't know much more than you. Or maybe we do; we did our homework. We'll give an overview of the league, the history, the unique rules, and many of the other items to familiarize yourself with the league. This includes some notable coaches and players, the league schedule, and our plans for covering the season. Thanks for joining us. #UFL #XFL #USFL #SpringFootball #Football #TheRock #InauguralSeason

When I booked this guest for Microbiology and Human Evolution, I honestly had no idea what we'd be talking about. Richard Anderson has many degrees and credentials, including being a Microbiologist and award winning author. His non fiction book was recognized as book of the year. He has a post dystopian science fiction novel nearing publication, with another on the way. We discuss everything from the Big Bang to the origins and lucky circumstances of our moon, Mars, panspermia, the inner belt, and human expansion. Instead of the legal considerations, this time it's a science first view. By happy coincidence, this is the perfect companion to the prior episode.

JLF Sullivan suffered a series of setbacks while building a life building a family and business. The path to wellness brought her to Past Life Regression Hypnosis Therapy. After numerous sessions, she remembered memories of past lives. One of which was her life as the Princess of Lemuria. She explores that in her book, "Child of the Universe". Sullivan lays out the Lemurians were among the ancient aliens that colonized Earth. How they had a slave race harvesting crystals which remarkable properties in another star system. And how they reformed their society to abandon war, slavery, and created Amun; a land without need. However, their ancient cousins weren't as wise. These descendants of Atlas formed Atlantis and experimented with indigenous hominids and animals alike. They also inbred and found themselves helpless against a plague. Thus, began the reunification process of Atlantis to Amun/Lemuria. But it was not benevolent nor peaceful. This is her first hand account. #Lemuria #Atlantis #PastLives #Reincarnation #Aliens

PJ Blount is a law professor at the University of Cardiff and comes from the University of Mississippi space law line. He's lectured extensively on the issues of settling space. And he enters the Garden to discuss many of these. Yes, we struggle to not use forms of "colonize". Yes, we discuss the ethical considerations of what is humanity's right to settle anywhere. What is life? Is life required for protection? But we also tackle the technological and logistical issues with settlements Who's building the infrastructure and responsible for re-supplies? How do you set and enforce labor laws millions of miles away? How do you have a functional HR department on Mars? Talk about the indentured company town. PJ divides the legal and related challenges in near term, mid term, and long term. The world is complicated. Other worlds might be very Guantanamo Bay. .

Cee the Superior re-enters the Garden (totally as a cohost) and does her usual spectacular job of studying the history, literature and trends of the given topic. This episode is werewolves. From pre-history relationships between wolves and humans (who domesticated who?) to the earliest know literature (The Epic of Gilgamesh), to the present day, we give the history, lore, historicity, literature and pop consumption trends of everyone's favorite lycanthrope. Yes, we study the origin of that term and address the recognized disease of Lycanthropy. From Pliny to Ovid to Stephanie Meyer and "Gingersnaps", we are cooking with gas. We also discuss what might be werewolf stories or characters without being overtly called such. Beware the moors, but don't beware the Garden.

Charlie Bennett is a Jurist and LLM from the Netherlands. He's been a student of the space policies and laws of the European Union, as well as the particular question of what is dual use. We discuss EU policy. We discuss the role and authority of the EU versus member nations, NATO, the UN, etc. Dual use is generally the problem of what might be both peaceful use of space, while having the capability of becoming a weapon of war. Yes, we visist Jeffzikistan at times. Remember, Reagan and SDI (star wars)? The Russians may be engaging in that. As we talk, we explore just how easy it is for almost anything to be a fatal weapon in space.
