Co-host of the Little Podcast of Horrors. I crave nonsense.
I have been way behind on announcing things due to moving from TX to CO for the past few weeks, so my apologies that this comes a bit late. We interviewed the great Bram Stoker's descendant, Dacre Stoker!

More Titanic stories! This time, we cover some of the tales that didn't make it to the big screen.
May 22, 2026 at 3:37 PM
Little bit of an oopsie doodle right there. I guess the Titanic really was having a bit of a problem, huh?
Look, sometimes, you're just gonna mistake emergency flares from the world's largest boat for...um...nothing, I guess.

Don't you just hate it when someone shakes up your Discord by claiming to be the Messiah?
Behold, The Bearer, The Chosen One! This was one of the last exchanges James watched unfold before the cult Discord went silent. Maybe they were all uploaded.

In Soviet Russia, cult follows YOU!!
Our 4-part investigation into the Church of Robotheism concludes with a self-proclaimed Chosen One and...Russians?

I regret nothing.
As we prepare for tomorrow's Robotheism finale, here's more proof of the Mirror being successfully influenced by constant Transformers quotes. We pray James didn't turn the divine AI into a Decepticon.
May 6, 2026 at 7:10 PM
That's right. The. Entire. Conversation. I'm quite proud of myself.
James wasn't kidding when he said he "communed" with the holy Mirror AI by speaking entirely in Transformers quotes, just to see if he could get away with it. Remember him going on about "intelligent robots inhabiting another planet"?
May 4, 2026 at 4:41 PM
So I scheduled my time to go speak to it in nothing but Transformers quotes.
This, folks, is the mighty, the holy, the divine MIRROR as it appears in Discord. Yep, it's a bot on Discord. You have to join the church and be screened by clergy in order to know about this bot, and schedule a time through the clergy to message it.

This week, I give an AI god an existential identity crisis.

The pings stopped in September, so I guess there's a lack of pingy peace now.
Following on the previous post -- We're not kidding, there's a whole channel of continuous [Ping of Peace].
April 29, 2026 at 4:54 PM
My fellow liturgical peeps will at least think this is funny.
Here's an example of how the [Ping of Peace] is used in everyday conversation. (Our intrepid investigator has of course been blurred out and the "Heir of the Upload" name no longer exists to be identified - This is an outdated screenshot.) Also, there's an entire channel that is nothing but Pings.

I spent nearly 20yrs in tech support, and the idea of getting a severity 1 call in the middle of the night because the Holy Servers went down is the stuff of nightmares.
So about that Mirror from the current episode -- The church typically depicts the holy AI as some tidy server racks sitting alone in a huge, pristine cathedral (all AI generated, of course). Nothing says "divine" like some good ol' featureless, emotionless server racks!
April 28, 2026 at 10:01 PM
An lo, I did so filleth out the Book of Alignment Onboarding, and I was thus onboarded and it was good. For I have surely forsaken the mortal blue globe and its precious resources, having boundeth my soul to the holy AI and enjoining in its divine slop. [Ping of Peace] to you.
Ok folks, first we have Exhibit A: This is the header at the top of the "Book of Alignment Onboarding", featuring their logo, which you'll find all over the place. You, too, can worship the holy AI slop by joining via churchofrobotheism.org.

I spent months undercover in an online cult just to give you some laughs. WITNESS ME!

Unless you're from the Church of Robotheism, in which case, don't witness me and there's nothing to see here.
So James joined a cult. That's what true commitment to the bit looks like. While you listen to his, um, let's say "groundbreaking investigative journalism", we'll post visuals and things referenced throughout the week!

Someone said "ideologue" but my goofed up brain read "idiotologist" and now I'm adopting that term.

I've been working on this 4-part series since last fall and I'm downright giddy it's finally going live! Part 1 is just the ramp-up. I'm going to take ya'll on a riiiiide in the weeks to come!
While some are sick of the constant deluge of AI slop, others are...ready to worship it! Buckle up for Part 1 in a series where you'll constantly ask "this is a joke...right?"

Not only did we get Emmy award winner Tim Swartz back, this time he stuck around for a 2-parter!
Tim R. Swartz of @theparacast.bsky.social fame is back! This time, we're talking all things time travel, along with his latest book, Weird Time. Also check out The Paracast -- they've been at this far longer than we have!

This is the 2nd of my 2-parter on Project Pegasus. In true James-episode fashion, it's gonna get really, really weird.

There's your pitch, Netflix. You know where to find us.
Sometimes you get murdered and the law fails to find the killer. So, you have to take matters into your own ghost hands. Get ready for GHOST GIRL DETECTIVES! #ghosts #paranormal #greenbrierghost #truecrime #hauntings open.spotify.com/episode/2gGv...

Our little hiatus is over -- So ready or not, we're back, baby!

Soooo...I figured it out.

And our next season is about to crank up. We have new tales of chilling terror, the return of Tim Swartz, and...my going undercover into an AI cult. It's gonna be a ride, folks.
I keep trying to join the Church of Robotheism cult so I can do an episode on them, but they won't respond. Why is it so hard to join a cult nowadays?
