Pod Crashing episode 511 with Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman from the podcast Sound, Light and Frequency. Has the U.S. government been conducting a slow-drip UFO disclosure campaign through Hollywood movies and television for more than 70 years? The new podcast Sound, Light & Frequency tackles that mind-blowing question through an ongoing investigation hosted by two Hollywood insiders: Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman, both successful writer/producers with hundreds of credits. Bryce and Brent publicly share, for the first time, the full account of their surreal encounter with a "Man in Black" who offered them a deal to use their primetime alien-invasion drama series, Dark Skies to spread UFO truths. Each episode takes listeners behind the scenes of iconic films and TV series, connecting what's been portrayed on screen to what might be happening in real life-and asking whether other creators were offered "the deal," too.

Pod Crashing episode 505 with Michelle McPhee from the podcast Kingdom of Fraud. What do a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect and a shadowy Armenian tycoon from Los Angeles have in common?

Plus... are we getting too personal on our podcasts? Taylor Swift's entire love life is present, can hosts do the same?
