#29 - Alex Tsakiris

Author: Grimerica December 2, 2013 Duration: 2:13:11

Alex Tsakiris, creator and host of Skeptiko joins Darren and Graham. They chat about the battle over consciousness between the hard core Skeptics and the believers and everyone in between. Where will the research and our society/culture end up in the crazy information overload age we live in?

Red Pill Junkie chimes in for the intro with some strange news... like ghosthunting arson, new dinosaur found in our home province of Alberta, bit coins going into space, and the face off between the FDA and 23&me...

The Grimerica Show is a long-form conversation series hosted by Darren and Graham that operates without a map, preferring to follow curiosity down whatever rabbit hole seems most compelling. This podcast exists in a space where documentary meets late-night talk radio, built on the idea that the most interesting perspectives are often found outside the mainstream. Episodes feature deep, casual dialogues with independent researchers, authors, and thinkers typically exploring the edges of accepted narratives. You’ll hear discussions that weave together spirituality, alternative interpretations of history, and the enduring mystery of UFOs, alongside examinations of consciousness, forgotten cultures, and societal structures. The approach is intentionally unscripted and open-ended, allowing guests to present complex or unconventional ideas without the constraints of a traditional editorial filter. The tone is more like a gathering of friends than a formal interview, resulting in a free-flowing exchange that can be both challenging and entertaining. For listeners tired of pre-packaged conclusions, The Grimerica Show offers a platform for speculative dialogue and raw inquiry. It’s built for anyone who prefers questions over answers and enjoys hearing a conversation unfold organically, with all its tangents and revelations intact. This is independent media driven by genuine interest, creating a consistently unpredictable listening experience.
