Hey guys, it’s me, Alexx! On this episode I discuss the vague notion of shifting from from materialism to spirituality; Newton as an alchemist; and how prophecy works.

Episode 147 – Listener phone calls, influential authors, and Nazi time travel

Posted on by

Hey, it’s me, Alexx, from the future! And I’ve returned to tell you that tonight’s show is boffo! Take a moment to listen to friends of the show call in with questions, and revel a new Alexxcast musical number. It’s a winner! Well, the musical number isn’t a winner…. it’s pretty embarrassing actually. Too bad we don’t like editing.
