  • Welcome to our podcast, where we take deep dives looking at various topics through a Paranormal Lens.

    Every Thursday, co-hosts Ben Goldman, Brienna Shear, and Angela Wingard come together to unpack history, events, and phenomena through a paranormal perspective. Along the way, we'll share updates on our latest projects, discuss timely news that doesn’t always fit into a full-length investigation or film, and connect the dots between folklore, research, and lived experience.

    In addition to our main Thursday episodes, listeners can also expect occasional bonus or mini-episodes dropping on Mondays, recorded live on-set or at events.

    Whether it’s analyzing legends, exploring haunted history, or discussing the cultural impact of the unexplained... our podcast is your gateway into conversations that exist at the Crossroads Of Curiosities.

  • What is consciousness? What is the mind? What is the self? Why do we suffer — and is there a way through it that doesn't require pretending everything is fine?

    These are the questions this podcast begins with.

    Hosted by Nicky Grimsdale - Vedic educator, yoga teacher and practitioner with over 20 years of study in Indian philosophy including time living and practising in India. This series moves through the great schools of Vedic and Indian spiritual traditions with special emphasis on Advaita Vedanta and Yoga along the way. Nicky approaches contemplative thought with clarity, depth, relatability and a genuine respect for the intelligence of the listener.

    Alongside solo episodes, the podcast features conversations with teachers, thinkers, and practitioners from across the traditions and other complementary schools of thought.

    The approach is both personal and rigorous. This isn't wellness content. It isn't spirituality made palatable. It is a genuine investigation — informed by years of practice, study, and a deep engagement with the lineages of Indian philosophy.

    What you'll find here: Indian philosophy that holds up academically and lands in the body. Ancient teachings explained with honesty, humour, and the occasional analogy that makes a thousand-year-old idea feel like something you already knew but couldn’t find the words.

    For the yoga student who suspects there's more to the tradition than postures. For the meditator who wants to understand the philosophical framework underneath the practice. For the curious mind who finds consciousness and the exploration of the Self genuinely interesting.

    What makes a mind brilliant… yet different?

    This is The Curious Mind of Hercule Poirot — a podcast exploring the world’s most famous Belgian detective and what he can teach us about neurodiversity, detail, and devotion.

    Hercule Poirot, the creation of Agatha Christie, is renowned for his meticulous routines, his passion for order, and his unparalleled ability to observe. But what if these very traits — his precision, his focus, his need for structure — reveal something deeper about the way some minds are beautifully designed to see the world?

    Across the episodes, we will explore defining characteristics often found on the autism spectrum, such as attention to detail, hyperfocus, logical thinking and routine through the lens of Poirot’s greatest cases.

    So, pour yourself a cup of coffee, take a seat beside the world’s tidiest detective, and join me for The Curious Mind of Hercule Poirot.

    Season 1: Six episodes exploring core autistic traits through the character of Hercule Poirot, tracing how his attention to detail, routine, logic, sensory awareness, and distinctive social style appear across Agatha Christie’s stories.Season 2: Six episodes examining common myths about autism, using Poirot as a counter-example to show how these misconceptions unravel when we look closely at his empathy, imagination, humour, relationships, and depth of inner life.

    Season 3: Six episodes exploring the richness of different neurotypes through the partnership of Hercule Poirot and Ariadne Oliver. With Poirot reflecting autistic patterns of logic and order, and Mrs Oliver expressing traits often associated with ADHD — spontaneity, intuition, creative leaps — this season examines how their contrasting minds illuminate one another and reveal a fuller picture of human intelligence.

    Season 4: Six episodes delving into the figure of the outsider in Agatha Christie’s world. From refugees and misfits to the socially awkward and the misunderstood, we explore how Christie uses the outsider to expose prejudice, reveal hidden truths, and deepen our understanding of justice, compassion, and belonging.Season 5: Six episodes exploring the quiet faith that shapes Agatha Christie’s famous detective — his devotion to order, his compassion for human weakness, and his belief that truth exists to heal. Through themes of vocation, sin, confession, mercy, and integrity, we discover a Poirot whose logic is shaped by conscience, and whose intellect serves grace.Season 6: Six episodes exploring how neurodiverse people experience church through scent, sound, touch, routine, and social communication. Using insights from Hercule Poirot’s perceptive mind, this series reflects on sensory inclusion, belonging, and worship design — imagining churches where every sense is welcomed and every kind of mind can truly feel at home.Seasons 7 & 8: Twelve episodes exploring the short stories of 'Poirot Investigates', one case at a time. From glittering jewels to whispered curses, we uncover how Poirot sees beyond appearance and assumption — revealing deeper truths about fear, identity, trust, and the patterns of human behaviour.Season 9: Before “autism” had a name, how might someone like Hercule Poirot have been understood? Six episodes exploring historical labels and tracing changing views of neurodivergent minds. Through Poirot’s little grey cells, discover a thoughtful journey into history, neurodiversity, and the possibility of divine design behind every kind of mind.Season 10: Six episodes stepping beyond Poirot to explore the wider world of cosy mysteries. From fictional villages and flawed detectives to friendship, belonging, reinvention, and comfort reading, this season examines why millions of readers return to these gentle mysteries — and what they reveal about human nature, community, and the search for meaning.

    Season 11: Six episodes exploring how the British class system shaped not only Christie’s plots but also Poirot himself — the ultimate outsider moving gracefully between drawing rooms and kitchens, servants’ corridors and ballrooms, decoding both crime and convention.

    Season 12: Six episodes exploring food, drink, and hospitality in the world of Agatha Christie. From English tea tables and Poirot's coffee to country house dinners, cocktails, poison, and the rituals of welcome, this season uncovers how everyday meals and beverages reveal deeper truths about class, identity, trust, community, and human connection.

These exchanges provide universal guidance to a range of everyday issues concerning man and woman. Each episode begins with a direct question put to Barry and his uncompromising response. The series draws from the Barry Long Archive, a repository of over 20 years of Barry Long’s teachings.

His teaching is free from tradition or religion, be it Western or Eastern. Over more than twenty-five years he spoke to thousands of men and women and he addressed them where they were – in their real, living life. The reference point always being in living the truth now, not the past. In this directness lies Barry’s distinctive usefulness and uniqueness: a practical wisdom that addresses contemporary issues and presents a way to transform the unhappy human condition into the freedom of being.
