In the first half, afterlife expert Sandra Champlain, the host of the Shades of the Afterlife podcast, shared her experience and wisdom on the dying process and what awaits us on the Other Side. She opened the show with a poignant parable she wrote about Sylvia, a widow spending her first Christmas alone, who discovers a magical tree with notes chronicling every act of kindness she performed. When Sylvia dons a special pair of glasses, she sees her deceased loved ones and realizes "we are always surrounded by love... we are never, ever, alone." This story embodies Sandra's message that "the veil between us and our loved ones is thinner than a pair of reading glasses."
Discussing the concept of a life review after death, Champlain suggested that it is not a judgment by an external deity but a compassionate experience in which one sees life through the eyes of those they have impacted. She also related the story of music producer Joshua Silverberg, who had a full healing after a near-death encounter, in which he experienced "incredible love" and no fear, emphasizing that many who return report miraculous recoveries and a promise to share hope and make a difference. Addressing "terminal lucidity," in which dementia patients temporarily regain clarity before death, she said this may indicate that consciousness exists outside the brain and that humans are akin to "radio receivers" connected to a larger, invisible world.
On angels and spirit guides, she proposed that each person has a guardian assigned before birth, always present but requiring communication to intervene. Champlain described the afterlife as "very much like our world," but filled with colors and music that we've never seen or heard here on Earth. "There are tons of different lamps and lamp shades, but there's one light... connected through all of us...that breathes life into everyone," she added.

In the latter half, C2C's investigative reporter Cheryll Jones presented her interview with filmmaker and researcher Frank Jacob, who delved into the concept of "plasma matrix," a living electrical medium he argues is fundamental to the universe and human evolution. Jacob, who describes himself as a "consciousness archaeologist," bridges frontier science with mystical and paranormal phenomena, challenging mainstream and alternative narratives alike. Central to Jacob's thesis is plasma cosmology and the Electric Universe model, which posit that the cosmos is not empty space dominated by gravity but a dynamic, electrically charged environment shaped by plasma —ionized gas exhibiting self-organizing, almost biological behavior.
"Plasma is kind of a living fabric that makes consciousness fields and cosmic organisms possible in the first place," he continued. Touching on the mysterious 3I/ATLAS comet, he explained that what some interpret as an alien spacecraft can be accounted for by plasma physics alone, without invoking extraterrestrial technology. Jacob further linked plasma to UFOs and other paranormal experiences, noting that plasma structures can influence human perception and brain activity, resulting in sightings of aliens or spiritual entities. He cited experiments with remote viewers, who reportedly observed structured plasma clouds around Earth that may store memory or consciousness residue.
He further linked megalithic sites and ancient mythologies to intense plasma discharges between Earth and a historically closer Moon, proposing that shifts in the electromagnetic environment shaped human evolution and ancient visions. Jacob warned that plasma science is largely hidden behind top-secret research and non-disclosure agreements, suggesting it holds the key to revolutionary technologies such as free energy and plasma teleportation. During the last hour, he appeared live with George and Cheryll to take listener calls.
George concluded this Christmas night program with a recording of Lee Allan reading "A Letter from Michael," the story of a Marine's encounter with an angel who saves his life in the Korean War.
