In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

This week we start to talk about The Society for Psychical Research. We go over certain key figures such as Thomas Charles Lethbridge, Charles Babbage and William and Elizabeth Denton. Does their research into the concept of what ghosts really are have solid ground? Or does the concept of infused locations truly have nothing behind it all. Tune in as we begin this deeper discussion.

There's a cold going around so we couldn't record an episode this week so we figured now would be a good time to release the (definitely not super late) episode of Parlor! Welcome to Part 2 of A Court of Wings and Ruin and wow is it popping off. Listen to our thoughts and feelings (and if you want to hear nearly two more hours of discussion including a lengthy discussion on fandom history you can find it at patreon.com/cultscryptidsconspiracies)…

This week we look into the early history of unidentified flying objects. It wasn't all aliens and ships at first. While we do discuss the Kelso UFO sightings we are more focusing on blimps. In New Zealand to be precise and also now all across europe. Was the mystery of piloted flight solved much sooner then we first thought? Tune in as we dive deep into the history of flight and something much more spooky up above our heads.

This week we finish discussing what was the largest fire in Southern California history that happened directly to us. We are thankfully safe but did have to take direct action to ensure our own safety as our city burned and is still on fire. Thankfully the fires are now contained but there is a lot of recovery that needs to happen in southern California. Also sorry about the intro and outro sound issue for this episode but after some careful editing we were able to repair it as much as we could.

Happy Holidays! We decided to go a bit festive this month and picked a book on theme. We were expecting dumb Hallmark Channel Original Movie and instead got maybe one of our absolutely favorite books we've ever read on Parlor. We had a lot to talk about and we can absolutely recommend you read this book for yourselves! Enjoy!…
