Well hello, Eavesdroppers! This week’s episode goes from boring to bizarre as we look at two weird and whacky religious sects (just don’t call them cults, like Michelle does the whole way through…).

First up? In an effort to find a lighthearted cult where not everyone dies at the end, Michelle talks about The Bruderhof! In this episode she talks about… What they are… Who they are… How they got started… How they’re kind of boring… yawn. Don’t get us wrong, it IS interesting – in the way the Amish are interesting – and all in all they’re a neat little sect where, so far, no body dies. But hang one cotton-pickin’ minute because Geordie has a sect for you that will knock your little silver alien socks off. Yes, she’s scraped the surface of what it is to be RAËLIAN!!! (Almost sounds like alien, right?!)

So… What is Raëlianism? How did it start? Is the leader for real? How did aliens end up in the mix? Did the ex-racing car journalist really nick the whole religion from some obscure sci-fi writers? Is it weirder than Scientology? Are we going to have self-animated fur mops? Is there actually something in Raëlianism that makes sense?  YOU DECIDE!

*Disclaimer: We don’t claim to have any factual info about anything ever and for anyone who’s Bruderhof or Raëlian, soooooorrrrrryyyyyyyy J

Click now to get Eavesdroppin’ and hear how the pair think Russel Brand is going to be the next new GURU, how Michelle had a period leak on a date when she was a teenager, hear the pair wonder why big arses are in, the story of a woman with flipping butt implants and to hear Geordie say Tough Titties !

The post 37: SECT OR CULT? Raëlism, the Bruderhof, aliens, plagarism, tough titties and more! appeared first on Eavesdroppin' Podcast.

Hello, Eavesdroppers! What is going on this week? So much random stuff it’s exploding our brains, so here’s a little pick-n-mix of what’s inside this week’s Eavesdroppin’ box of chocolates…

Do you think that weather can be engineered? We thought NO, but it turns out it’s been happening for A VERY LONG TIME. This week Geordie chats about weather modification, cloud seeding, biological warfare, the 2008 Olympic opening ceremony in China, rainmakers, geoengineering, Kate Bush, Wilhelm Reich and the orgasmatron, climate-change deniers and so much more.

Michelle follows with a badly investigoogled natter about crop circles, hoaxers, how you can spot a man-made crop circle versus one made by aliens, ley lines, GEORGE W BUSH (not his dad!), SIGNS with Mel Gibson, time travellers, crop-circle hoaxers Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, Dr Horace Drew and more…

What does it all mean? Is any of it real? We really have no clue but get Eavesdroppin’ to hear ditties, Geordie say ‘poop circle’ and 2 birds yakkin. Enjoy!

Break up songs, Adam and the Ants, Kate Bush… Hold up, people – it’s the MUSIC EPISODE! Geordie & Michelle go on a rambling meander of memories, stories, thoughts and nonsense as they talk all things music and the time Geordie met a faded popstar. But first they start with a few apologies, namely Geordie’s atrocious spelling on the Potluck Party episode video trailer where she’s dancing and swigging brown lemonade… Or is she??? Ben Mendels gets a shout out, namely because we’ve been sidelining him for Line of Duty chat, and a small discussion follows about whether Aussies still call a toilet ‘the toot’. No idea if that’s how you spell it, but the double o in ‘toot’ is pronounced like ‘look’ rather than the toot of a trumpet. Get it??

Then it’s onto the meat in the sandwich – MUSIC! Having both been in bands for most of their lives, Geordie and Michelle chat about music, songwriting, the creative process, their bands and how music has slipped away from them both in the past few years. Childhood musical loves from the 80s and 90s are revealed with Michelle’s obsession with Boy George making a questionable appearance. Geordie admits The Cure were responsible for her going through a gothy black-hair phase at school.

Geordie then recounts an excellent story about the time she met Adam Ant – and the moment she binned off an invitation to sing for Dave Stewart. Michelle rambles on about heartbreak songs and tries to explain to Geordie what a torch song is . Michelle rounds off the break up songs chat with a pathetic story of love and separation with Sinead O’Connor’s Nothing Compares 2 U as the soundtrack  

The pair mention loads of golden oldies, tunes that have inspired them, random thoughts and reminiscing, while neither of them can remember Men At Work singer Colin Hay’s surname or the name of the song they supposedly really like (it’s called Overkill btw ). Lots of links and show notes below so check it out plus a dubious Spotify playlist created for the ep!!! It’s a walk down memory lane that doesn’t scratch the surface of all the music they love so, there could be a part 2, just so you know… J
