Ocean Conservation / ETs & Akashic Records

Guests: Captain Paul Watson, Debbie Solaris

A genuine eco-warrior with a documented (if controversial) legacy discusses ocean conservation, paired with unfounded claims about extraterrestrial contact and "Galactic Akashic Records." Sea Shepherd's founder has real credentials; the Akashic Records are 19th-century esoteric fiction.

Space Exploration Update / Dracula & Gothic Horror

Ancient UFO Sightings / AI & the Unknown

Guests: Jason Martell, Ericka Boussarhane

Ancient astronaut claims meet AI paranoia. Martell repeats debunked Sumerian interpretations; Boussarhane suggests AI might open "demonic portals." Neither segment offers evidence that would survive basic scrutiny.

My Relationship with John Lennon / Angelic Connection

Guests: May Pang, Dr. Alisha Das

About This Podcast

Coast to Coast AM has been a fixture of late-night radio for four decades. While it covers a wide range of topics, many episodes feature guests making extraordinary claims about paranormal phenomena, alternative medicine, conspiracy theories, and pseudoscience.

Our goal isn't to dismiss everything discussed on the show — some topics are genuinely fascinating and worthy of serious exploration. But we believe listeners deserve to know when claims contradict established science, when guests have questionable credentials, and when extraordinary claims lack extraordinary evidence.
