The Melt is a podcast that encapsulates all of the experiences that fall outside of the spectrum of consensus reality. Whether these be drug experiences, paranormal experiences, or religious experiences. The Melt values the lost importance of first hand experience. Not everything can be quantified, measured, or repeated in a laboratory. Some things only happen in a spontaneous and immediate fashion and are not subject to repetition on demand. There is a vast expanse of phenomena that Western society and its institutions don’t see as valuable or worthy of exploration. The Melt does. The Melt wants to hear your stories and wants to tell your stories. The Melt seeks to not only be a place within which to do that but also where we will talk to other experiencers, people who study these experiences, and people who write about these experiences.

Ashley Stinnett and host Chris Snipes explore a year of Mount Tabor encounters, from wild cotton found on a solstice walk to Sasquatch who shift into human form in city parks. The episode covers close campout experiences, mysterious balloons and orbs, and the overlap between Sasquatch activity and UFO sightings. Ashley shares insights on the Sasquatch hive mind, their teaching role, practical gifting and safety tips for seekers, and reflections on media, disclosure, and how these encounters invite healing, community, and a deeper connection with nature.

I had the honor of speaking with Italian composer, multi-instrumentalist, and performer Lili Refrain about her sublime music and what brought her to create it. I encourage you to dig in and explore what she has to offer.

Hunter and I had the honor of chatting with MindBody Health Consultant, author, and conqueror of what some may call demons, Vic Shayne. He discusses his lifelong firsthand experiences with astral projection, his latest book, "Observations of a Reluctant Mystic," and his seemingly innate ability to overcome evil spirits. Fascinating stuff, to be sure!

Hunter and I had the opportunity to chat with author and activist Derrick Jensen about all sorts of things. I initially reached out to him to talk about his take on the trans issue and queer theory, but that only begins to make its way in during the last half hour or so. But we cover a lot of ground getting there.

I was fortunate enough to have a brief chat with Edward Ka-Spel (lead singer of The Legendary Pink Dots, prolific solo artist, member of The Tear Garden, and one-time collaborator with Amanda Palmer) about his music and his connection to it. I first interviewed him, Phil, and Neils on July 23, 1991, for a 'zine that I was putting out at the time called Purge. Some 35 years later, here we are.
