This week’s episode tells the story of an artist who paints her ideal man, only to have him emerge from the canvas, observe her life, and become consumed by his feelings for her. How far will he go to prove his love for his creator?

Listen to find out why the perfect man became so desperate and how his actions changed the artist’s life forever. What happens when your art becomes more real than you ever imagined? Is the perfect man doomed to live only within his frame?

Ever wonder what happens when we lose a beloved furry companion?

This episode dives into that very question. It’s a raw, freestyle story that came straight from the top of my head, about an old man I see at my security job. He recently lost his old dog, his faithful partner, and he’s now grappling with some profound questions. Do animals have souls? What does it mean to truly be loyal? This man believes his dog had more soul than many people he knows.

This story made me think, how do we find our way after loss? What makes a friendship truly special? It’s a very different kind of story than you hear on my other show, a bit more introspective. Speaking of my other show…

Ever wondered what happens when a Jamaican wins a trip to the North Pole?

Buckle up for a frosty adventure! In this special Christmas episode, I recount my unexpected journey from a radio contest winner to a survivor of a polar plane crash.

You’ll hear about my family’s hilarious reactions, an encounter with jolly old St. Nick himself, and how I narrowly escaped becoming a human popsicle.

It’s a tale of holiday magic, cultural clashes, and why sometimes it’s okay to embrace the unexpected – even if it means hugging Santa Claus for dear life.

Brand new season in 2025.

Is the Truth Out There? Or is it Just Toxic?

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to step into the mind of a conspiracy theorist? Well, Jill from The Afterparty can tell you all about it! She recently had a close encounter with Caspian Flint, the host of Red Flags, Bright Lights – and let’s just say he’s not winning any congeniality awards.

Flint is what you might call… intense. He’s got a studio decked out with a fireplace and candles, but he also offers guests a cocktail of scotch, uppers, downers, and mushrooms! And his interview style? Think less “gentle probing” and more “aggressive interrogation”, with plenty of personal jabs and innuendos thrown in for good measure.

But toxic personality aside, Flint does bring up some fascinating points. Jill discussed some intriguing topics with him, including those strange phone calls, alternate universes, and that mysterious backwards book. Could these things be connected to Season 7 of Welcome to Earth Stories? And what exactly is Flint looking for through those binoculars?

Join me as we explore the fringes of reality. Just try to avoid any strange vitamins or unsolicited relationship advice along the way…

What happens when your reality is turned upside down?

Join Jill and Josh as they try to make sense of a mind-blowing phone call that has left Jill questioning everything she thought she knew. Is it a prank, an elaborate AI hoax, or something far stranger?

This episode welcomes Dr. Cuban, a leading expert in human voice analysis, and Professor Hoffman, a controversial astrophysicist and author of the upcoming book “Mirror Universe: The Search for Absolute Reality”. They’ll examine the mysterious voice recording and discuss its possible connection to a real-world backwards book and the shocking revelations from Welcome to Earth Stories. Could there be a connection between a dying Earth, a hidden civilization, and a cryptic experiment?

Is everything truly as it seems? Tune in to find out!

Are We Living in a Simulation?

Have you ever wondered if your life is just a giant video game? This week, Josh and Jill explore the idea of simulated universes inspired by a recent episode of “Welcome to Earth Stories.” They break down the episode “This Person Does Not Exist,” where a scientist creates an AI companion that turns out to be more real than he is.

Is it possible that we are all just part of a giant experiment? The hosts examine the concept of “observable universes” and consider whether an advanced civilization could be manipulating our reality. They also discuss the possibility of multiple versions of ourselves, drawing parallels between the episode’s themes and listener experiences with doppelganger phone calls.

Tune in to the “Welcome to Earth Stories Afterparty” for a mind-bending discussion about the nature of reality and the potential for simulated worlds. Are you ready to question everything you thought you knew?

What if everything you know is just a cleverly crafted illusion? In this episode I share a personal revelation that has turned my world upside down. But as I navigate this new reality, Jill and Josh dive into a far more perplexing mystery: Are we all just characters in a grand narrative, controlled by unseen hands?

As Jill grapples with the unsettling idea that her existence might be scripted, Josh insists on the authenticity of their experiences. But who is really pulling the strings? Is it me, the enigmatic York, or is there a shadowy government conspiracy at play? And what about our live caller, Malik, who claims to have been onto this for ages.

Join us as we unravel the threads of this mind-bending tale. Are we just figments of someone’s imagination, or is there a deeper truth lurking beneath the surface? Tune in, and perhaps you’ll find the answers—or more questions. After all, isn’t that the fun of it?
