VYS0062 | Rabbit Trap: Sounds Like a Spell - Vayse to Face with Bryn Chainey - Show Notes

In 2025 an independent film was released that blew the minds of experiencers, occult communities and connoisseur's of Weird Stuff alike - that film was Rabbit Trap, a darkly melancholic and hauntingly beautiful meditation on love, trauma and the power of the natural world, both discovered and undiscovered, to brutalise and heal in even measure, with equal ferocity and sometimes even at the same time. The man who write and directed Rabbit Trap was Bryn Chainey and in this episode he talks to Vayse.

Bryn guides Hine and Buckley on a journey through the film making process, what inspired him to make this gorgeous and deeply weird film, how he made it look so good, how he made it sound so good, how he got such incredible performances from the the three lead actors and what it means to make a film with heart. And then on slightly more familiar ground for Vayse listeners Bryn talks about what it means to him to be "weird", how fantasy can provide an from reality but can also show a way to see the world more clearly, the power of the genus loci, how music is magic... and why one of his greatest fears is to have "Happy Birthday" sung at him... (Recorded 17 May 2026)

VYS0059 | We Can Trance If We Want To - Vayse to Face with Lonnie Scott - Show notes

It's always useful to get a lesson in how it's done, so Hine and Buckley welcome to Vayse an OG of occult podcasting, Lonnie Scott, the host of Weird Web Radio, a show which has now been running for a decade.

Lonnie is a heathen, a hypnotist, award winning tarot reader and Hellier-almuni and occult podfather who has been podcasting since 2016 - interviewing Vayse favourites such as Aidan Wachter, Greg and Dana Newkirk and Mitch Horowitz years before it was cool. The conversation flows quickly from how Lonnie found his way into magic, heathenism and hypnotism to what really happened in the hypnosis session in season 2 of Hellier to how he navigates the complex ethics of hypnosis to whether hypnotists can really implant ideas into the heads of their subject... and the joys of having a book addiction...

VYS0053 | The Mongoose Files - Vayse to Face with Gayle Fidler

Vayse — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 19:30:00 +0100

VYS0053 | The Mongoose Files - Vayse to Face with Gayle Fidler - Show notes

Ever since their childhood days reading the Usborne Book of Ghosts, Hine and Buckley have been obsessing over the mysterious mercurial mammalian Manx marvel - Gef the Talking Mongoose. And finally bringing Gef chat to Vayse is writer, paranormal researcher and selectively supportive spouse to a lard eating champion, Gayle Fidler.

In recent years Gayle and her curious collective of cryptid-hunters have made a pilgrimage to the Isle of Man to investigate Gef and immerse themselves in strangeness of his story. Her incredible adventures include some uncanny synchronicities, an unlikely team-up with a movie star, an unexpected connection to Aleister Crowley... and the unpredictable guidance of a certain Dr Allen Greenfield...

VYS0048 | Chinese Sex Balloons - Vayse to Face with Edwina Quatermass-Palmer - Show Notes

Making her podcasting debut, Hine and Buckley welcome the weird, wonderful and wonderfully weird Edwina Quatermass-Palmer to Vayse. Worker of a job so secret that Hine and Buckley actually know what she does, possessor of the coolest name available to the English speaking world and wearer of a genuinely gravity defying hairstyle, EQP is an original and brilliant thinker, a valuable and treasured member of the Vayse discord community, a musician and rambler on the path less travelled. The conversation moves from early paranormal experiences in the, frankly incredibly named, Christmas Room of the Jacobean house that she grew up in, to her discovery of Crowley, root work and her dabbling in Chaos Magick. One of the most fascinating and unusual facets of EQP is her life-long relationship with the Great God Pan, and she talks in detail about how he appears to her, how he communicates with her and what this has meant to her over the years. The free ranging discussion also touches on the nature of creativity, retro-causality, the art and influence of the late, great David Lynch, and the question on everyone's lips... is EQP CIA?... (Recorded 3 February 2025)

Thanks to EQP for being so candid and open with us on her first podcast and thanks, as always goes to the great Keith, working to make sure that these podcasts make some semblance of sense, one show note at a time. You can follow hom on Blue Sky: @peakflow.bsky.social

VYS0044 | For Fear of Little Men - Vayse to Face with Jo Hickey-Hall - Show notes

They've talked of night-time scaries,
they've talked of shadow men,
but they daren't talk of fairies,
for fear of meeting them...

Bravely, valiantly, courageously, boldly confronting a topic that they have avoided delving into for the past two years, Hine and Buckley take a trip into the terrifying world of fairies with their guide, researcher podcaster and author, Jo Hickey-Hall, creator and host of the hugely successful Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast. Jo talks beautifully on the subject and the conversation flits magically around the topic on gossamer wings and a cloud of enchanted dust: what exactly are fairies? Where did the common "Tinkerbell" trope come from? Do fairy sightings herald a transitional period in the life of the observer? Are some humans part fae? Can anyone see fairies? Just how frightened should we be of the fae?... and what do Pukwudgies, puppets, pork-pie hats and the Monster Munch monsters have in common? (Recorded 11 November 2024)

Thanks to Jo for her time and patience and thanks, as always, to Keith for the show notes - give the man a follow: @peakflow.bsky.social

VYS0042 | Grinding Out Some Low-End - Vayse to Face with Aidan Wachter - Show Notes

Somehow stumbling into a third season knowing less than when they started, Hine and Buckley welcome a guest that has been top of the Vasye-most-wanted-list since the podcast's inception - witch, dirt sorcerer, magician, animist and author, Aidan Wachter. Aidan skilfully and eloquently answers questions on some big topics: are some people naturally more able to connect to magic than others? How do you tune into the more subtle communications when working with spirits? What separates Aidan's practice, beliefs and faith from those of a conventionally religious practice? How can a solitary magical practice serve the wider community? ...and whatever happened to the Black Squid Cult? (Recorded 22 August 2024)

VYS0040 | The Great Ping-Ping - Vayse to Face with OORYA - Show Notes

Artist, poet, noise maker, purveyor of queer-electro-folk-punk and fellow northerner, OORYA, joins Hine and Buckley in an explosion of joy, weirdness and super-infectious hyper-manipulation of the English Language. OORYA explains their unique view of the "Vinyl Universe", how they dance with the great ping-ping to make their life more magical and how you can do the same, how their live performances become a channeling of their deepest spine, how licking the void is an essential part of levelling up, what it means to them to be a queer artist... and prepare to receive some sonic healing from their beautiful vocal stims... (Recorded 25 June 2024)

Thanks to OORYA for giving so much of their time and patience - do yourself a favour and seek out their music as soon as possible.

VYS0033 | Battle-Owl vs Sci-fi Centipede - Vayse to Face with Loren Fetterman

Vayse — Wed, 27 Dec 2023 19:30:00 +0100

VYS0033 | Battle-Owl vs Sci-fi Centipede - Vayse to Face with Loren Fetterman - Show Notes

In this episode artist, illustrator, esoteric free-thinker and Hine's tattoo-artist of choice, Loren Fetterman, completely blows Hine and Buckley's minds in a mushroom cloud of psychedelics, synchro-mysticism and inner astrology. Loren gives Hine and Buckley a whirlwind tour of his unique, self-styled brand of magick, detailing how he brings back and integrates life-changing ideas from this trips, how he invented a mirror point calendar system and bone watch to track his own personal symmetry, how he uses insight meditation to understand the recurring fractal cycles and patterns which form his life and wider reality and how he summoned a Battle-Owl to defeat an attacking Sci-fi Centipede formed entirely from his baby photos... (recorded 13 December 2023)

Thanks to Loren for being so generous with his time and insights and thanks, as always to Keith for impressive work on the show notes - give Keith a follow on bluesky: @peakflow.bsky.social

VYS0027 | Batchelor of Dark Arts - Vayse to Face with Douglas Batchelor Pt. 2 - Show Notes

VYS0026 | It's a Wand-erful Life - Vayse to Face with Douglas Batchelor Pt. 1

Thanks to Doug for making it through 3 hours of Vayse interrogation and thanks as always to Keith for the show notes!

In the second part of Hine and Buckley's interview with the indefatigable Douglas Batchelor, creator and host of the luminous What Magic is This? podcast, the dark side is calling. Having explored his guiding principle of positivity and kindness in the previous episode he now explains how his thoughts, philosophies and understanding of magic play out when applied to the spookier side: Hexes, curses, love spells, necromancy, black magic and the left-hand path. Doug also answers some weird questions about ancestor veneration, synchronicity, what books are currently inspiring him and which deadly non-human-entity may be the one that eventually ends each and every one of us...

VYS0026 | It's a Wand-erful Life - Vayse to Face with Douglas Batchelor Pt. 1 - Show Notes

Hine and Buckley are back for the first episode of season 2 and they've brought Douglas Batchelor along with them! Doug is the host and creator of the incomparable What Magic is This? - a podcast about Magic, the Occult, the Esoteric, the Paranormal, the Supernatural and the Weird and surely the single most frequently mentioned magical resource throughout the first season of Vayse. In the first part of this two-part, slightly giddy interview, the roots of Doug's magical life are revealed as he talks about how he graduated from being a disillusioned materialist teenager to a punk-rock chaos magician to a self-styled-necromantic-performative-ritual-magician with an awesome occult podcast. The conversation bounces around: from synchronicities to Bob Ross, from how to start your own magical practice to Hot Wheels skating gear, from podcasting as a work of magic to the psychic influence of the Lost Boys soundtrack... and all whilst Hine and Buckley try their best to uncover and assimilate the source of Doug's seemingly inexhaustible enthusiasm and positivity... Recorded 3 August 2023

Big thanks go to Doug for being so generous with his time and enthusiastic with sharing his knowledge - we were not expecting for this to be a double episode!!! And thanks as always to Keith for the show notes! Give Keith a follow on Twitter @peak_flow for electronic music and weird stuff.
