À propos de cet audio

 Did aliens build the pyramids? What's with all the abductions? And why do they like gold so much?In More Like Ancient FAILiens, journalist Brandon R. Reynolds and podcaster Toby Ball bravely plunge into one of the great works of televised hokum: Ancient Aliens, the History Channel show that, after more than 20 seasons and 200 episodes, is still convinced Aliens Did It. But Brandon and Toby will take on Ancient Aliens’ biggest claims, one episode at a time, from the Big Bang to Atlantis, from the Old West to Area 51, disclosing the truth behind the nonsense and discovering the most amazing thing of all: the world is a pretty fascinating place, even if Ancient Astronauts aren't responsible for it.

More Like Ancient FAILiens—let us abduct you and disclose what's really going on Out There.

  • The Death and Ancient Life of Erich von Daniken

    The Death and Ancient Life of Erich von Daniken
    Jan 16 2026

    On Saturday, January 10, the Godfather of Ancient Astronaut Theorists, Erich Von Daniken, died at the age of 90. In this episode of More Like Ancient Failiens, Toby and Brandon look at EVD’s life, from his time as a hotelier and embezzler to the successes of Chariots of the Gods and its sequels, to the final form of Ancient Astronaut Theory, Ancient Aliens. We look at the ups and downs, the dubious claims, and the short-lived theme park that was not as exciting as the Alps.

    We also have some exciting news about where we’re taking our show in 2026. We’re calling it The Pivot, and it basically means we’ll be reviewing movies, TV shows, and crappy ‘89s docs about UFOs to show just how deep (or high) this whole thing really goes.

  • Special Report: Age of Disclosure: Disclosings with Keith Kloor, Part 2

    Special Report: Age of Disclosure: Disclosings with Keith Kloor, Part 2
    Jan 9 2026

    Part two of Brandon and Toby’s discussion with journalist Keith Kloor about the documentary film, The Age of Disclosure. In this episode, we discuss Lu Elizondo and The Observables (not a band, alas), the time Keith made Lu sad, and bubbles that warp both space and time. Plus, the culinary delights of roadkill.

  • "The Age of Disclosure" with Keith Kloor, Pt. 1

    "The Age of Disclosure" with Keith Kloor, Pt. 1
    Jan 2 2026
    What is "The Age of Disclosure" and why is legacy media so obsessed with it? Toby and Brandon venture into a space that's slightly less ancient, but no less alien, than "Ancient Aliens" as they dig into the new documentary by Dan Farah, "The Age of Disclosure." With the help of freelance journalist Keith Kloor, we ask why so many government figures are so gaga for UFOs, why everyone from The New York Times to CNN is so uncritically gaga for the documentary, and why "Disclosure" is now mainstream enough to include Stephen Spielberg and the Epstein Files. Turn off your nuclear missiles and tune in to us!
