The Fringe.FM News Desk comes across weird, unique, and interesting stories every single day. Most end up in our virtual "junk drawer," rattling around until we either use them or go all konmari on the mess. Some are too good for the dustbin, though - so welcome to the 1st edition of "Random Fringe!" This Week's Grab Bag of Completely Unrelated Randomness: Biopiracy: How companies are buying up nature […]
Breaking news: Facebook may have your tax and financial data. If you’ve used online tax prep software, you may have been affected. They even steal information about your children. The Investigation Nonprofit news organization The Markup conducted an in-depth investigation. They found that Facebook’s "Meta Pixel" scrapes data from free online tax prep sites including H&R Block, TaxAct, and many others. They subtly operated in plain sight without some […]
A first-millennium family of mice. Mysterious, ancient monoliths on a windswept, chilly island. Their separate discoveries overturned centuries of established history. Megaliths For hundreds of years, historians thought the Azores were discovered by the Portuguese in the 1400s. A remote and difficult to reach archipelago of 9 islands in the North Atlantic, they appeared to be completely uninhabited. Over the last decade, Dr. Felix Rodrigues has documented megalithic and […]
This week Miguel Conner and his cohort ol' Moondog join me from Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio! These guys are veterans of the game -- life, esoteric study and practice, even broadcast -- and I am always eager to have a conversation with them. And while this episode is being released on Halloween, and the holiday will be mentioned here and there, don't be discouraged to listen to this any time […]
My dad wasn’t a water witch, but he swore by Old Man Marcus.* 8000+ Years of Witching We've been hiring a water witch to dowse for new wells for as long as my farming family can recall. Even deep in our Midwest Bible Belt, it wasn't considered witchcraft. It’s folk wisdom that works. Farmers and homesteaders are a practical lot; they don’t worry about the how. It works, you dig […]
Trees talk, and those close to the earth have known this for lifetimes upon lifetimes. Science is listening now too. Bushcraft & Shrooms Shift Happens (here on the Fringe!) recently interviewed a bushcrafter and psychonaut who, like Thoreau, left the rat race to live in the woods. Towards the end of the show, he shares his thoughts on trees, mushrooms, and more. Episode 265: https://fringe.fm/shows/shift-happens/ Spinning Vinyl and Macrame In […]

Researchers announced yesterday they've found the world’s oldest known map of the stars. Dating from the 2nd century BC , the map is attributed to the Greek astronomer and mathematician, Hipparcus. Amazingly, it was found hidden behind overlaid ink within later medieval texts found in Egypt. Papyrus and other writing surfaces were valuable and often “recycled" in ancient times, with scribes writing over old text. Today's advanced imaging techniques can […]
This week's episode will be more personal than usual, as I talk about why the culture of the conspiracy theory has been on the strong rise over the last several years. For 3 years, around 2014 to 2017, I was one of the three main writers behind the non-partisan news website The Last American Vagabond, where I immersed myself in so many conspiracy theories in an attempt to find what […]
