    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana, Prince, Sitting Bull, Amelia REDUX

    03/10/2026 | 29 mins.
    THIS IS A PODCAST WE DID ON THIS DATE TWO YEARS AGO IN 2024.  Before the book SHE WAS NEVER LOST came out... but the story remains the same.  This version has subtitles for the hard of reading, but the sound is the same for the hard of hearing!  xo

     

    Another fun podcast with Jennifer Shaffer and folks on the flipside. In this episode, we start by discussing the full moon and what that means to people on the planet accessing people offstage, or on the flipside.

    We ask the moderator of our group over there to explain it, and Luana Anders talks about it being a vibrational frequency difference... almost like a speeding up of energy, and that it's easy to reach across the aisle so to speak.

    Prince stops by because Jennifer had posted something about him, but I asked him to give us some advice about the upcoming election. And he says "Tell people to vote" and also to "vote as if democracy was on the line."  Without naming names, he basically points out that people don't seem to realize how hard it was to get to the place on the planet where people actually could vote to make their lives better.

    Then I describe a dream I had last night where I literally woke up saying aloud "someone's in the room" loud enough to wake everyone up.  It wasn't something said out of fear - just an observation because I clearly felt someone pulling on my ring finger.

    So much so that when I awoke in the middle of the night it was throbbing with energy.  I recounted to my wife what happened, and went back to sleep.  Jennifer said it was an "Indian chief" - it could be that the image of Sitting Bull came to her to remind her of the era when I recalled being a Lakota medicine man (as recounted in the book FLIPSIDE).

    Whether it was Tatanka Iyotake  (Sitting Bull) or the image was put in her mind to remind me of a guide on the flipside, I don't know. But he too talked about reminding people that warriors have battled to save the planet, that we stand on the shoulders of others to be where we are today.

    That our democracy is fragile and we need to fight to preserve it.

    Unusual stuff. 

    I asked a direct question to Amelia Earhart about a project about her, and she answered it. 

    Like I say, mind bending stuff. I borrowed the backdrop from a post that Iman put up on Facebook. I hope she doesn't mind me borrowing it - David has shown up in a number of podcasts with messages of unconditional love and helping musicians on the flipside.

    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Robert Thurman and Tarek McCarthy

    23/09/2026 | 29 mins.
    Today's episode begins with a discussion about talking to people on the flipside - Jennifer describes the over 200 people that she read recently, and gives an account of one of the stories where someone came through and flipped out their family when the grandmother said "I'm so glad you didn't get that tattoo!"

     

    We spoke of a conversation we had with Robert Thurman over the past few weeks, and how I had condensed those conversations into one text for his wife. Robert called the document "Epic" and suggested I include it in one of my books.

     

    I remembered that when I spoke to his wife, she mentioned looking for the combination for the safe in his office - she wasn't worried about it, as a company could easily come and open it - but wanted to see if he could guide them on how to find it. 

     

    Not only did he report that the numbers are stored in a computer (an option that was offered) but also gave us a specific combination.  I reference the "Combination Lock Test" by Ian Stevenson at UVA where there's a lock in his office that only Ian knew the combination to.

     

    During a conversation with him, he gave Jennifer the visual of E=MC squared. I sent that on to Jim Tucker at UVA who tried the phrase but it didn't work.  He mentioned in an article about the Combination Lock test that a "psychic had tried to solve it but could not" - which wasn't accurate. As I told Dr. Tucker, Ian gave us the "answer as a visual."  So that would mean a number of different combinations revolving around the Einstein reference - including E = M C x 2 (it's six letters that correspond to numbers) or E = M C 2 X, etc. But they weren't interested in using the signpost Ian gave us - and the only way I could help would be to be in a room and take a few hours to use all the variations that formula offers.

     

    In this case Robert gave us numbers. So I've passed those along to his wife, so we'll see if that works.

     

    I learned that Gaia's Tarek McCarthy passed away - and tremendous fellow who will be sorely missed by Jimmy Church as a TV director of Beyond Belief.  Jennifer has been invited to go out to do readings with them, as she offered them to anyone who wants them. 

     

    They already know how talented she is - when we went out to do our show about Amelia Earhart on Beyond Belief, she read everyone in the studio that stopped by to say hello.  It was uncanny.

     

    RIP Tarek.

    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Charles Grodin and Dolly Parton

    08/09/2026 | 39 mins.
    Another mind bending podcast... Elvis introduced Jennifer to his friend Dolly Parton.

    I had an inkling she would show up this week - as the day she passed I heard her voice say "I'd love to be on your show Richard" or something to that effect.

    I know I was thinking about something else at the time, so was suprised to hear it. And for the next couple of days it felt like we were having a conversation - me hearing Dollyisms (as a jaded blues music player, Dolly was not on any of my play lists, although I admired her voice and writing skills).

    So for a couple of days, I kept hearing funny comments and remarks - and then nothing the past few days, so I wasn't sure if she'd show up or not.

    But she did.

    Jennifer is a huge fan, and becomes emotional while repeating what Dolly asks her to say.

    Jennifer wasn't aware of the duet "Islands in the Stream" with Kenny Rogers, but Dolly made her aware of that.

    I asked her the same questions I ask all of our guests; who greeted her? (Husband Carl). Was that a surprise? (No, because he'd been standing by for her since he left).  She spoke about her mediumship abilities - something I'd read about prior to the session.

    Other tidbits of fun - and observation about what it's like on the other side, and how musicians hang out together. She was and is a fan of Aretha's - and brought her along with...

    We spoke briefly with my pal Charles Grodin about the premiere of the documentary on TCM about him last friday night "Rebel With a Cause" and he mentioned to Jennifer his work with getting people out of prison (she hasn't seen the documentary, so it's not something she would know about).

    Anyways, just another day at the office.

    Enjoy.

    HACKING THE AFTERLIFE with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Amelia Earhart & Prince REDUX

    29/08/2026 | 35 mins.
    This is a rerun from last year - however, there are a number of things brought up that are relevant to today.  Amelia Earhart makes an appearance to talk about what she wishes was going on in the US... and talks about finishing the book SHE WAS NEVER LOST: The Amelia Earhart Saga (which is available in Kindle, Paperback, Hardover and Audible)

    Prince stops by the talk about his experience on the flipside, about what it's like to hang out with a person's "higher self" and at the same time applaud what they're doing onstage (talks about Beyonce')

    Luana puts it all together - this is one of those summer time redux podcasts while Jennifer is in Nashville tearing up the streets of the Grand Old Opry.

    We'll catch you next week as usual!

    Meanwhile enjoy this repeat that has some fun new information.

    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Jim Medlyn, Professory Lucy & student Jeff

    21/08/2026 | 32 mins.
    Talking about Dreams and communication with teachers on the flipside.

    In today's episode, Jennifer's father Jim comes through - to remind her that he was in her dream the evening before, and reminded her when she went for a walk on the beach that he'd be showing up in our podcast today.

    Jim, a Mormon bishop, has come by our classroom many times to elucidate something about the flipside. In this case, he wanted to talk to Jennifer about how dreams are constructed, sometimes from guilt (her wishing she could have done more to save his life) - as well as reminding people that their loved ones are never far away.

    Jim was also the first person we spoke to who identified classrooms on the flipside, and introduced us to his professor (who matched the description of a Hindu deity - "Ma Durga.")

    However, when I asked him if he was still taking that class, he brought forward a line of professors who were eager to talk with us about their classes. (See the book "AI AND THE FLIPSIDE: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PICTURES ITSELF IN A BOAT ON A RIVER" for a discussion of classrooms in the afterlife.)

    So, as I'm fond of doing, I invited "whomever wanted to share to come forward."  In this case, an etheric (transparent) being named "Lucy" who teaches a class in "Ballet" on the flipside. She revealed that she had incarnated back in the 1920's in the US in New York City - but despite self identifying as a "flapper" her heart was in ballet.

    Also she spoke of a previous lifetime she had off the planet Earth as a "fairie" on another planet or in another dimension.  That's not the first Faerie we've spoken to, as well as a number of people who self identify as Leprechauns or other mythological creates.

    It's not that they're non existence - it's that we don't have a language or nomenclature to describe their existences. 

    So Lucy is teaching ballet, and can recall her lifetime in New York as well as her other lifetime where she had wings.

    I invited one of her students to say hello - and Jeff McMillan came through - not someone that Jennifer knows, but someone whom we asked if he was currently on or off the planet - and he's currently on the planet.

    When I interview these students I often ask them their opinion of the class, as well as how long they've been coming to it - I didn't in this instance due to time, but if one looks at the transcripts from ARCHITECTURE OF THE AFTERLIFE or DIVINE COUNCILS IN THE AFTERLIFE or the latest AI AND THE FLIPSIDE one can see the kinds of questions and answers I get.

    All of it's mind bending, and we appreciate Jennifer sharing her family with us, including those who are no longer on the planet.

    Safe Travels Jennifer!

    She'll be in Nashville next week.
