As a girl Stephanie Quick found herself captivated by the stories contained in the alien-eyeballed covers of Strangely Enough! Aside from the odd levitation, she didn’t get much in the way of actual experience of the strange until a Near Death Experience at the age of 21.
This event, and following esoteric practices taught by the entities encountered in her NDE, resulted in a wide range of high strange events including premotionitions, empathic communication with the dead and the living, telepathic communication with trees, missing time with a gnome, and an outrageous number of synchronicities.
Using models from anthropology, the humanities, and esoteric theory and practice Quick endeavors to develop new questions and understanding about the world of the high strange; not just as an intellectual exercise but in order to help interested people – experiencers or not – gain insight into these phenomenon.
Stephanie Quick has been a guest on 3 episodes.

Ho, ho, holy shit that's another year gone and Christmas is here again! To mark the ever-increasing speed at which the years fly past in a blur of spiralling anxiety and gathering doom, Hine and Buckley invite two of the nicest, wisest and funniest people in Weirdosphere, Stephanie Quick and AP Strange, to help them celebrate away the winter blues.
Drawing on the British tradition of telling ghost stories at Christmas, Hine, Buckley, Strange and Quick (also the title of the upcoming Vayse autobiography) work their way around the cardinal points, each telling a ghost story from the place in which they were born: the North and South of England and the East Coast and West Coast of the US. There are tales of a murderous jester who stalks the corridors of a Cumbrian castle to this day; a red haired woman who haunting a pirate-built cottage in New England; a missing bride at a Christmas wedding in a very haunted stately home in Hampshire; and a revolutionary Californian abolitionist who still throws nuts from trees over 120 years after her death... and they discuss three lesser known British winter traditions: Raymond Briggs' Snowman, ignoring Thanksgiving and moaning about the weather...

Handing on a plate to Hine and Buckley the most potently inspired episode title in Vayse history is teacher, researcher, blogger and "the Julia Child of Sex Magic", Stephanie Quick. In an intense and varied conversation Stephanie takes Vayse through her near death experience, complete with a fall through the starlit sky, disembodied consciousnesses and sky-scraper sized entities, she talks about how to start off your own run of synchronicities and the conversation weaves itself around Carlos Castaneda, Gurdjieff, how to not lose yourself in your spiritual practice or join a cult... and, speaking of cults, enter the glowing orange 16-bit pineapple...
