Guest host Ryan Wrecker (email) welcomed Dr. Joan Hangarter, known as Joan of Angels, to discuss her belief that everyone has access to divine guidance through angels, spirit guides, and higher consciousness. She explained that these beings communicate with us in subtle ways—through intuition, visions, feelings, or signs—and that tuning into them can help individuals align with their soul's purpose. Joan shared details of her awakening, which began with a powerful vision in her 30s, revealing her mission to inspire and heal millions. This led her to combine her chiropractic background with spiritual practices, helping others discover and reconnect with their divine blueprint.
She emphasized that intuitive guidance often comes through repetitive nudges, dreams, or physical sensations and shared personal anecdotes, such as hearing direct voices or breaking toes when resisting life changes. According to Joan, it's never too late to discover one's purpose—many clients find clarity in their 50s or 60s after years of unfulfilling careers. She stressed the importance of raising one's vibration to attract miracles and advocated for practices like meditation, journaling, and taking small action steps to shift out of fear and confusion. She encouraged tracking intuitive hits to build trust in one's inner voice, especially for logical or analytical thinkers.
Joan also revealed how angels and spirit teams may offer protection and guidance—sometimes even intervening in miraculous ways. She recounted examples of seeing angels during her workshops and at a family funeral, and affirmed that our thoughts have manifesting power. She described her approach to empower people, particularly women in transition, to let go of limiting beliefs, reconnect with their soul gifts, and trust their inner wisdom to make transformative life choices.

In the second half of the show, paranormal investigation consultant and world-touring magician Brandon Scott talked about magic and his experiences chasing UFOs and other bizarre phenomena. According to Scott, the essence of magic is bringing wonder and joy, and that hasn't changed, though the field has evolved due to influences like televised exposures and audience expectations. Modern magicians now focus more on smaller, portable illusions and mentalism, with an emphasis on fooling audiences, which engages the intellect and curiosity but can lessen the emotional impact of wonder. Scott described magic as an interdisciplinary art form that incorporates performance, psychology, dance, and mathematics, with various types such as sleight of hand, close-up magic, story-based illusions, and mentalism.
Scott drew a connection between stage magic and the paranormal, noting that both explore the unknown and the seemingly impossible. His early experiences investigating paranormal claims in Mexico—such as seances and psychic surgeries—initially as a skeptic, led him to witness phenomena that defied logical explanation. These encounters, including synchronicities and unexplainable experiences during remote viewing and psychometry, shifted his perspective, he reported. Scott said he began to see paranormal phenomena not as fantasy, but as part of a natural, though not yet fully understood, system—likening it to gravity.
His investigative work culminated in the creation of Alien Secrets, a film that documents his global research into UFOs and alien abductions, inspired by recurring, consistent testimonies from people across different cultures—even before the internet and mainstream media could influence such stories. Scott explained how, in remote areas, people shared similar accounts of alien encounters, which later matched depictions like the gray alien popularized by Whitley Strieber's Communion. He described his film as part documentary, part dramatization, and revealed it faced challenges in distribution due to its controversial subject matter. Scott also recounted personal experiences at ancient sites like Teotihuacan, where carvings and pyramid alignments hinted at advanced astronomical knowledge.
