Having released 53 episodes of Vayse without interviewing Joshua Cutchin is nothing short of an embarrassment - and one that Hine and Buckley are keen to make up for. Joshua is a writer, a researcher and a musician, having written modern classics of weird non-fiction including A Trojan Feast, Ecology of Souls and most recently the mind-bending, mind-expanding and mind-blowing masterpiece, Fourth Wall Phantoms.

Like hungry Sasquatches devouring a Roc egg, Hine and Buckley are in a feeding frenzy, ravenous for Joshua's thoughts, ideas and insights. The particularly wandering conversation goes all the way from real-life encounters with fictional characters to the fabric of reality itself and the possibility that our beliefs are what holds it together... and, naturally, Hine and Buckley take the opportunity to introduce Joshua to the Peanut King...

In this episode Vayse welcomes AP Strange, a writer, researcher and blogger with a near encyclopaedic knowledge of all things weird and a wicked sense of humour to go with it. Hine and Buckley shake down AP's voluminous brain on a wide range of bizarre topics and greedily feast on the nuggets of information that fall out, including the answers to such questions as: What were the entities that revealed the future to AP as a child and why did he liken them to Mikey Mouse's gloves? Did AP take a ghost for a spin in his Mustang and what was revealed when he got a tarot reading from this suspected phantom? Why is a sense of humour essential to an open mind and what happens if you don't embrace that? How can we learn to receive messages from the cosmos and allow a little more Strange into our lives? How and why do people so often ignore their own experiences of High Strangeness and should more of us be open to accepting the King of Rock 'n' Roll's Flaming Sword...? (Recorded 18 February 2024)
