Season 2 of Talk Tracks drops January 14th!

Can we see the world without using our eyes?

Can our higher selves communicate for us when language leaves?

Before we head into the final two episodes of Season 2, we’re revisiting episode six of Talk Tracks to bring Dan Goerke’s story back into focus and prepare you for the role it plays in what comes next. His experience communicating with his wife after she lost speech became a crucial clue in our exploration of consciousness and sets up the pivotal return to Dan in our final two episodes, out on Monday, December 22nd and December 29th. -- Can we still connect with our loved ones when memory fades and language disappears? In this tender and eye-opening episode, The Telepathy Tapes coordinator Katherine Ellis sits down with Dan Goerke, whose wife Denise lost her ability to speak due to early-onset Alzheimer’s. What followed was something extraordinary: Dan believes their bond transformed into telepathic communication. As Denise’s verbal language faded, Dan began sensing clear thoughts and emotions from her—deep, complex messages conveyed without a single word. Their story challenges everything we assume about communication, presence, and the boundaries of consciousness. We also explore the emotional realities of caregiving, the lasting nature of love, and how Dan’s experiences have resonated with others navigating dementia and loss. This episode is a moving reminder that connection doesn’t always need words—and sometimes, it transcends them entirely. Thank you to our Sponsors!

Before we head into the final two episodes of Season 2, we’re revisiting episode five of Talk Tracks because it was one of the first to point toward a question that now sits at the center of where we’re going. It explores whether consciousness can remain active and aware even when communication breaks down, setting the stage for the final two episodes of the season, premiering on Monday, December 22nd and Monday, December 29th. -- In this riveting episode of The Talk Tracks, we explore two astonishing stories that challenge our understanding of consciousness and the limits of the human mind. First, we meet Elodie, who recounts her near-death experience at 18—a moment that profoundly altered her perception of reality. But what happened next is even more extraordinary. In a moment of deep despair, she received a telepathic message from a young, nonspeaking boy hundreds of miles away. His message not only saved her life but also revealed the profound ways in which consciousness can connect beyond physical barriers. Then, we dive into a shocking case investigated by parapsychologist Lloyd Auerbach, where a woman in hospice care unknowingly projected her consciousness into her childhood home, appearing as a ghost to the new family living there. Her body remained bedridden, yet her mind traveled freely, challenging our assumptions about the nature of life, death, and human perception. Could telepathy and consciousness extend beyond the body—even for those with dementia, Alzheimer’s, or in a coma? This episode pushes the boundaries of what we think we know about reality, connection, and the unseen forces that shape our world. Thank you to our Sponsors!
