? EARS TO THE GROUND-

If you're curious about the mysteries of the universe and the possibility of extraterrestrial life, listen to High Strange. Hosted by Payne Lindsey, known for his work in true crime, this series takes a fascinating detour into the world of UFOs, government cover-ups, and the search for contact with other life forms.

Lindsey interviews journalists, alleged abductees, and passionate UFO enthusiasts, diving deep into the questions surrounding our existence and the implications of discovering intelligent life beyond Earth. The podcast addresses the stigma often attached to believing in aliens, inviting listeners to consider the possibilities.

Lindsey doesn’t just focus on the recent resurgence of interest in UFOs — he takes us back in time, examining historical accounts of extraterrestrial encounters that date back centuries. This historical context enriches the narrative and emphasizes that the fascination with alien life is nothing new.

WHERE TO LISTEN- You can listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, and Audible.
