WTF Just Happened?!: All about the afterlife. No woo.

ITC and EVP researcher Tony Rathman explains Staticom 3.0 and real-time spirit communication.
Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC) and Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) are often dismissed as noise or coincidence, but this episode explores why some researchers believe the evidence goes much further.
Tony Rathman, an ITC researcher and creator of the Staticom 3.0 system, explains the difference between EVP and ITC, how real-time two-way communication is said to work, and why he moved away from radio-based methods toward white-noise and closed-circuit systems designed to remove common skeptical objections.
Tony shares how he went from skeptic to researcher after recording direct, relevant voice responses during early investigations, and how years of testing led to clearer, longer, and more interactive communication. We discuss consciousness beyond the brain, why voices appear to follow consistent rules, why future predictions are not given, and what this research suggests about survival of consciousness after death.
A grounded conversation on ITC, EVP, spirit communication, grief, consciousness, and the implications this research could have for science, religion, and how we understand life after death.

Akashic Records readings are used to explore past lives, relationships, life purpose, and emotional blocks, and this episode breaks down how that information is accessed and applied for healing and clarity.
Liz speaks with Krista Rauschenberg, an Akashic Records Facilitator and Certified Breathwork Practitioner, about how the Akashic Records are described as an energetic record of the soul and how people use them for self-discovery, decision-making, and spiritual healing.
They discuss how Akashic Breathwork helps release emotional blockages, reduce stress, and realign the body and nervous system, along with big questions listeners often ask, including first-life souls, reincarnating with the same people, soul groups, animals in soul families, and how future possibilities appear during readings.
A grounded conversation on Akashic Records, breathwork, intuition, consciousness, grief, and healing, with real examples of how this work shows up in everyday life.

Near-death experiences and past-life memories are often dismissed, yet at the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies they are examined using rigorous psychiatric and neuroscience research methods.
In this episode, Marieta Pehlivanova, PhD, Research Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at UVA, explains how near-death experiences are defined and measured in scientific research, why many experiencers struggle after returning, and what decades of data suggest about consciousness beyond the brain.
The conversation also explores children who report past-life memories, how cases are investigated, what makes a case verifiable, why many children stop talking about these memories in early childhood, and what long-term follow-up studies reveal. Skepticism, academic stigma, and why this research is gaining broader attention are also discussed.
A grounded, science-first discussion of near-death experiences, past-life memories, grief, and what the evidence actually shows.
