Comedy and Sci-Fi writer Phillip Carter sometimes invites guests to his weekly outbursts of philosophy and weirdness. Tune in to meet bestselling authors, TV producers, actresses, alien abductees, professional psychics, some more time travellers, painters, literary agents, time travellers, and scientists. The goal? To make you laugh, and hopefully to teach you something new and weird along the way.
