This week, Matt and RoboBrian welcome bestselling author Scott Wells for part one of a spooky two-part conversation about his hit horror novel Marked by the Ouija — a story of friendship, restless spirits, and a Ouija board that refuses to stay gone.
Before the interview, professionally-voiced narration sets the stage:
A group of friends finds a mysterious, never-used Ouija board.
A seemingly harmless night turns terrifying.
A spirit named Peter begs for help.
The board is burned…
…and returns the very next day — unscathed.
What follows is a haunting web of messages, unexplainable encounters, and a creeping question:
Are they helping a spirit… or inviting something darker?
Matt and Scott discuss:
• The real-life inspiration behind the book
• Why adolescence + supernatural danger hits differently
• The emotional side of coming-of-age horror
• Ghost stories, belief systems, and the strange things that follow us
This episode blends story, mystery, emotion, and all things weird — just the way we like it.

This week, things get extra spooky on Wonky Times! Matt and RoboBrian kick off the Halloween Spooktacular Special with a rapid-fire rundown of bizarre holiday traditions—like why skeletons make such popular decorations, what the “trick” in “trick or treat” actually means, and whether bobbing for apples is really just medieval germ-sharing. RoboBrian even pitches carving jack-o’-lanterns out of coffee beans… because, why not?
After the lightning crashes and evil laughs settle down, Matt sits down with Eddie from Creepy Coffees—a paranormal-loving coffee brand that blends caffeine with ghost stories. They chat about:
Grab your favorite brew, dim the lights, and join us for a mix of caffeine, creepiness, and conversation.

In this week's episode, RoboBrian short-circuits after dishing out too many “Did you know?” facts in a row. (Fun fact: duct tape fixes everything—including him.) Once the meltdown’s over, we dive into the latest weirdness making waves around the world.
I sit down with my buddy Gene to talk about a few head-scratchers:
It’s cryptids, comets, conspiracies, and a freshly-upgraded RoboBrian—aka just another day at Wonky Times.

Stay curious, question the ordinary, and remember… if your robot starts yelling “Did you know?!” on repeat, maybe don’t panic.
Things just got a whole lot wonkier! In this episode of Wonky Times, RoboBrian is back from government custody, fully upgraded, and stuffed to the brim with kindness… and comedy. He’s polished, oiled, and ready to riff alongside me as we dive into the latest in weird, wild, and wonderfully wonky stories.
Then, we shift to the cinematic seas with filmmakers Jordon and Kyle, returning to the show with their brand-new film, The Creature from Scroby Sands. We talk about the volatile sea monster wreaking havoc in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, the creative process behind bringing such a beast to life, and what it’s like pitching a creature feature in 10 words or less.
Expect laughs, horror film insight, and absurd “what if” scenarios—from aliens touring your town’s weirdest spots, to shapeshifters at your door, to RoboBrian calculating cryptid fight odds.

Step into the world of the unseen with this week’s Wonky Times episode! Matt Sterner chats with June Edward, a psychic medium who once worked with Ed and Lorraine Warren at New England’s Paranormal Research Headquarters. June shares her experiences connecting with the spirit world, helping people communicate with loved ones on the other side, and understanding the energy around us.
We also touch on a current story in the paranormal community: the original Conjuring house, where the alleged 1970s hauntings occurred, is set for auction this Halloween. Andrea Perron, who lived there during the events, is seeking help to preserve the home. June offers her perspective on the house, the spirits connected to it, and the importance of honoring spaces tied to the spirit world.
Whether you’re curious about mediumship, energy, or what it’s like to interact with spirits, this episode is full of insights, stories, and Wonky Times.

Ever notice how some of the weirdest stories come from your own backyard—or your neighbors? In this episode of Wonky Times, we kick things off with the Wonky Times Hotline, where listeners call in with their strange, spooky, and downright wonky experiences. From Stuart in Hendersonville’s mysterious backyard visitor to throwback calls from Charles in Virginia, you never know what’s lurking on the other end of the line.
Then, we dive into a blast from the past: Boyd Bushman, an engineer who worked at Area 51, revealed photos of alleged aliens just before his death. Were they real? You’ll hear the story—and the audio—from Bushman himself, plus a little commentary and Wonky Times perspective.
Stay curious, stay wonky, and don’t forget—if you see something strange in your backyard, leave us a message on the hotline!

What’s lurking in the shadows of your backyard? Who’s sniffing around Glendale Nordstrom Rack? And is there something actually alien passing through our solar system?
In this episode of Wonky Times, I chat with my buddy Gene about skinwalkers, shapeshifters, and all things spooky. Before that, we dive into the real-life chaos of a serial butt-sniffer (yes, that’s a thing) and debate whether NASA might be underestimating 3I-Atlas, a mysterious object zipping past Earth.
Spooky, weird, and a little wonky—just the way we like it.
