The Higherside Chats

Greg Carlwood launched The Higherside Chats back in 2011, and over 300 episodes later it remains one of the most popular deep-dive interview shows in the esoteric and alternative research space. The format is simple but effective: Greg brings on researchers, authors, and investigators for extended conversations that typically run 90 minutes or more. Topics range from secret societies and occult history to fringe science, hidden technology, and geopolitical conspiracy. What keeps listeners coming back—and the show holds a 4.7-star rating from over 3,300 reviewers—is Greg’s interviewing style. He’s well-read enough to keep up with experts but relaxed enough that conversations never feel like lectures. Recent guests have covered EMF health effects, techno-education agendas, and Charles Fort’s classic works. There’s also a premium tier (THC+) with extended episodes, but the free feed alone is substantial. If you’re looking for long-form occult and alternative research interviews that take their subjects seriously without being preachy, THC delivers consistently.
