Breaking the Fourth Wall w/ Joshua Cutchin & Recluse (Patreon)

Returning to The Farm is one of the greatest high strangeness chroniclers active today. Okay, today's guest is making his second appearance on The Farm. Joshua Cutchin has appeared on many radio shows, including Coast to Coast AM, Radio Misterioso, Gralien Report, Mysterious Universe and Where Did the Road Go. He has been a guest on the History Channel show Ancient Aliens and is the author of four books. They include A Trojan Feast: The Food and Drink Offerings of Aliens, Faeries, and Sasquatch; The Brimstone Deceit: An In-Depth Examination of Supernatural Scents, Otherworldly Odors, & Monstrous Miasmas (Me-as-mos); Thieves in the Night: A Brief History of Supernatural Child Abductions; and Where the Footprints End: High Strangeness and the Bigfoot Phenomenon, Volumes I & II, with the great Timothy Renner; Ecology of Souls: A New Mythology of Death & the Paranormal, Volumes I & II as well as a companion book, the aptly named The Ecology of Souls Companion; and the novel Them Old Ways Never Died.

For this outing, we explore Mr. Cutchin's latest work, the unbelievable Fourth Wall Phantoms: Reflections on the Paranormal, Narrative, and Fictions Becoming Fact. The subject of fiction influencing and even transforming reality is one near and dear to my heart. It was a pleasure to unpack this topic with Josh. Over the course of this discussion, we touch on everything from Slenderman to Mothman, the Dogon conception of language, Neoplatonism, the CCRU, and so much more. As always, I hope everyone enjoys.
