The Invizible Web Season 4 Episode 3 (26) : My Insomniac Friend!
On this episode of the Invizible Web, I interviewed Fortean Times contributor, Disinformation World News senior correspondent, and freelance MMA blogger, Joe Nolan. We compare life in the Motor City and Music City. We discuss how Joe started writing with Fortean Times, hooked up with the Disinfo Crew, and prepare against Austin Gandy’s episodic Discordian barrages. Finally we talk MMA and the Martial Arts: Who are some of his favorite fighters, GAMENESS, and what he really thinks about PRIDE compared to the UFC.
The opening song was Dick Justice’s “Cocaine.”
The second song was Joe Nolan’s “Walkin’ with the King.” It is part of the
King album. Download it
here with other tracks.
The closing track was Joe Nolan’s “Dead Man’s Song.” It comes from the
Blue Turns Black album. You can also listen to it here on
his Reverbnation Page.

Happy Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Perchtenlauf, Requiem of the Dead, Tongzhi, Christmas, Yule or Winter Solstice.
On this episode of the Invisible Web Cast, I interview the only court certified historian of the combat sports, Karl Stern once again for the first half of the show. We discuss DC vs Marvel Comics continuity, 52, Annihilation, and some good recent reads. We also touch on some Wrestling history. As a bonus he reads part of his novel, Absence of Absalom, now available for the Amazon Kindle and all compatible readers. Approximately 46 minutes of whackiness~!
And on the second half of the show, the Out There Trilogy comes full circle as “Stunning” Austin Gandy of Disinfo World News and formerly Out There Radio, joins us for more than 45 more minutes of hijinks~! We reveal the origins of young Austin. The discussion is had of popul;ar holiday customs of traditions including but not limited to reindeer. Then SUMOM is brought up. What is SUMOM? Find out the answer to that question and others on this episode. Plus we try to sort out our colleague, the Popo Bawa’s career as a childrens’ television star. And a bonus surprise appears.
Download it now.
And thanks once again to Wendy Rule for her song, “La Femme de la Mer.” How can an epic show end without an epic song of timeless proportions?

Episode 9: My First Season Finale (Featuring Taylor Ellwood and Bryan Alvarez)
This episode is dedicated to Breyer P-Orridge.
In the finale of the first season of my show, we celebrate Angel-Devil Day, Halloween (Samhain), and the Day of the Dead with two amazing encounters!! And this episode is definitely not for the faint of heart~!
As we are talking about lascivious subjects on the show such as trust and imagination and goals, if you are or consider yourself a minor, live in a state that teaches abstinence-only sex education, or just want to learn more about your body in a humorous manner, please visit the non-profit website Scarlet Teen.com. Remember to donate to their cause as they provide a service to the community at large!!
In the first half-hour I interview EsoZone speaker and Magickian Taylor Ellwood. Topics of discussion included: how he evoked hir significant other LUPA (the previous guest); how the mind can literally change the body; what gnosis is and how to achieve it through kink sex; and how to use SqueEnix RPG characters to enhance your sex magick~! (see the above warning~!)
You can read more from LUPA and Taylor Ellwood at http://thegreenwolf.com/
In the second half-hour I interview the editor of Kayfabulous.com, better known as Figure 4 Weekly Online, and the new host of the preeminent Wrestling Observer Live radio show, Super Chico Alvarez (whom Chris Jericho dubbed the next Frank Oz). We discuss: gymnastics; his time with the Youth Wrestling Federation; BUDDY WAYNE and Vinny V; and a Fortean encounter in Bothell, WA he will never forget.
What more can you ask for than two 5* interviews in one show? How about whacky ads from my colleagues at CombatHooligans.com and KarlStern.com?
And thats all folks for the premiere season of the show. In my time not podcasting I will be working on a text interview with the Meta-Magician Philip Farber and perhaps more Fools’ Gold reviews on Human Weapon Judo, Pankration, and MMA, and Last One Standing Huka Huka Wrestling and Aki Kiti Kickboxing~!

On a very special episode of the Invisible Web to commemorate Pagan Pride Month, Margot Ader, author of Drawing Down the Moon, the classic survey of Wicca and Neo-Paganism, and a true elder in the Wiccan Neo-Pagan community is interviewed. We discuss her childhood. What is Wicca and Neo-Paganism, and when did she become an active participant in this community? We talk of possible places for magic and fantasy in the world today. Some (in)famous characters are brought up (BOB~!, The Discordians Thornley and Hill, and the Church of All Worlds). As if anyone else will do a spirituality-topicced podcast this week with Witches, pranks, unicorns, THE NECRONOMICON of SIMON (and whether or not He is the MASTER of Disguises, and who he is not), and great Ambient Goth Folk music~!
I, Alan Lee, once again sincerely thank Margot Alder for interview with our show and for all of her work to promote non-mainstream religious movements. Due to technical audio difficulties I was not able to get her to plug her show or appearances.

Both can be purchased now at any respectable bookstore across the world.
