Hacking The Afterlife podcast

Another one of those mind bending podcasts.

In the first half, there's a visit from the one and only Tom Petty.  When he first showed up to talk to us, years back, I asked him "how is it you're appearing to Jennifer in this restaurant in Manhattan beach? I didn't meet you when I was a music critic at Variety, and I don't think Luana met you in her lifetime.  How did you show up?"

His reply was "You have no idea how many people are ...

Another mind bending episode.  I went up to the Sequoias this past week and got a chance to meet "General Sherman" for the first time. Considered one of the oldest trees in the world, I recorded some footage of talking to people who were accessing the tree in real time, which I will transcribe at a future date and post on medium.

However, Jennifer and I got a chance to do a rare Sunday podcast - and the idea of interviewing a tree ...

Here's the ring camera video that I mention in the podcast: https://youtu.be/Vu4ILcGepGU

In today's podcast, Amelia Earhart stops by. She's stopped by a number of times, and when Jennifer said "She's been showing you more things lately" I forgot to mention how I was studying her poetry this past week, in her own handwriting, which is hard to decipher.

And I found in her poems from Purdue University more evidence of her relationsh...

Another mind bending podcast.  On this "Good Friday" podcast, Kobe Bryant stops by. He spoke to us before, that transcript is in the book BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE.

In today's podcast, he wanted to stop by and thank Jennifer for something she'd done, as well as talk a bit about process. About how it's important to "keep one's eye on the ball" - meaning that we need to be "all in" when it comes to life.  Do one's best to learn ...

It's another mind bending session, this time with someone we spoke to some years ago.  Just to be clear about the past two weeks - it's as if people are aware of the book CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FLIPSIDE KIND and how it's just come out - as it talks about the topics that they're interesting in addressing.

Last week it was a surprise appearance by "Five" the Akashic librarian who has been seen by multiple people in different guided ...

Our once a year podcast from Jennifer's office in Manhattan Beach.  Another mind bending adventure, this time with numerous folks stopping by to wish me happy birthday - from Luana Anders to Charles Grodin, Bill Paxton, Prince - and the Akashic librarian "Five."  

He talks a bit about how anyone can come and visit him and explore previous lifetimes.

Charles Grodin points out that if he was still on the planet, he'd be taking me out...

A field trip to the Akashic library.

Another mind bending podcast.  Jennifer's mom passed away last week, and she took us on a field trip to visit the Akashic library.

No other way to put it.

First Prince showed up to talk a little bit about being connected to people, then Matthew Perry talked about a client that Jennifer had worked with that he showed up during their session.

I asked Matthew if he was attending any classes on the ...

 Jennifer went through a difficult week of loss, two key players in her life, her mom Linda and her 14 year old dog Chloe.  She mentioned that Chloe was going to leave the stage on the last podcast, but in the interim, her mom had a fall and passed away yesterday.

The only reason we did the podcast today is to help Jennifer work through some of her grief.  By accessing her father Jim on the other side, he could help her, and then b...

It's that time of year again - the Super Duper Bowl, and we have a super duper podcast to enjoy.

Some years ago, we were just starting this research, and the Microsoft found Paul Allen passed away.  So as an experiment, I asked three people we'd spoken to on the flipside, who knew him, to come forward and help us chat with Paul. 

At the time I didn't know that we could "invite anyone" - but figured if we could invite Paul, he'd be ...

This is one of the those podcasts where I know who it is that I'm talking to offstage, but Jennifer does not - until she realizes who it is.  It happens on camera, so no one can be in doubt about what it is we are doing.

We have been doing this for eight years - weekly - where I invite someone to "get past the velvet rope" of the classroom of students that Luana Anders has amassed on the flipside, people who want to speak to those ...

As these reports about Amelia Earhart's plane fly in - (pun intended) here's one of our many interviews with the aviatrix herself.  (There are seven more listed at EARHARTONSAIPAN.COM)

I appreciate all the interest - but seriously, she's home. She's available. Anyone can ask her questions about her journey. I've spent 30 years proving she landed on Mili Atoll, was arrested, taken to Saipan, died there. It's not a mystery to me.

Wha...

Another unusual visit with pals on the Flipside. In today's podcast we have folks who've been to visit us before, but had more to say. One is the Oscar nominated dog Hira, owned by the screenwriter director Robert Towne. Hira's been to visit us before, transcripts are in the book "Backstage Pass to the Flipside." David Crosby stopped by again - after talking to us about what it was like to return to the flipside, and in this case, ...

In this podcast we get a visit from people offstage that we know.

As usual, we begin the podcast with a conversation with Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside (who left the stage in 1996) and she wants to talk about a recent dream that Jennifer had that included two of her grandfathers.

They come through with expressions of love, as well as a discussion of how we can access our loved ones offstage.  Then later, my father com...

An unusual visit with folks off planet.  First Jennifer talks about losing her dad's ring prior to our last podcast.  Fortunately, she was able to find it, again, but it allowed us to ask her father on the flipside about it.

Jim has been a frequent visitor to our conversations - since Jennifer and I started meeting up 8 years ago.  He passed back in 2017, and when he started visiting us, I realized that Jennifer couldn't speak when...

Here's our extended New Year's Day podcast; starts with a conversation about predictions - while many reach out to mediums to ask to "predict what's going to happen" as noted, mediums like Jennifer have a "better view of likely outcomes."  Even then, they're translating what they're getting, and likely outcomes don't always come to pass. A discussion of a new study that correlates solar flares and earthquakes.  How the study by phy...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders and Charles Dickens

HERE'S A REPLAY OF LAST YEAR'S CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY PODCAST

It sounds bizarre, I know. We interviewed Charles briefly in the book "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" so his presence didn't throw me for a loop.  

I really did look at a note on my cellphone this morning about a story that he's in - and his pal Washington Irving.  And for him to say "that's why...

Another one for the ages.

In this episode, I invited two people to come to our podcast booth. One was Norman Lear, the prolific TV producer, and the other was Leonard Bernstein. I have just seen the Premiere of #MAESTRO #Netflix #StevenSpielberg #MartinScorsese #BradleyCooper #CareyMulligan #MayaHawke - and wondering if I might be able to invite the Maestro himself #LeonardBernstein and his wife #FeliciaMontealegre to our podcast.

...

As all in all of our podcasts, Jennifer and I have no clue who we're going to speak to during our session.  Sometimes I ask or invite people to come forward, and sometimes Jennifer states up front "so and so is here."

In today's podcast, we asked Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside, to let us know if she wanted to bring someone forward or talk about process.

Jennifer said "she wants to speak to you about your next book."  I...

Sometimes we have podcasts where Luana Anders wants to talk about process or connecting to those we love who are offstage.

In this anniversary edition - we can't tell if it's been 8 or 9 years of us getting together like this, we have a conversation about connecting with loved ones over the holidays.

Needless to say, they're available. They can be conversed with if one wants to. We've spoken about it in the book BACKSTAGE PASS TO T...
