About Insider's Guide to The Other Side

Insider's Guide to The Other Side is a paranormal spirituality show with a conversational, funny, and emotionally practical center. It treats psychic guidance, astrology, folklore, spirits, and energy as real working languages, not just spooky decoration. Still, the show is less interested in stagey mystery than in what those ideas do for people in ordinary life. A discussion about support becomes a lesson in service, generosity, and passing help along without keeping score. A parenting story becomes a close look at how fear, stress, and doubt can come out sideways before anyone has time to notice. That is where the show often finds its best material. It takes a spiritual concept and follows it into a kitchen, a work environment, a family conversation, or a moment of self-recognition. The tone is warm, but not polished flat. Jokes arrive quickly. So do blunt corrections. The show can talk about sacred space in one breath and make fun of panic-driven astrology in the next. Its astrology segments push back against fear-based readings of Mercury retrograde, framing the period as useful for review, rewriting, renegotiation, and double-checking details rather than hiding under the bed. Its folklore episodes are similarly elastic. Dragons become a way to talk about belief, Christianity, storytelling, art, literacy, science, and the historical confusion between giant bones and imagined creatures. The show also makes room for alien-themed episode subjects, though some excerpted material is heavily shaped by network promotions. At its strongest, Insider's Guide to The Other Side sounds like a candid spiritual conversation among people who believe in unseen forces but still care about accountability, humor, and daily behavior. It is mystical, but grounded. It is sincere, but not precious. It suits listeners who want psychic and supernatural material delivered with personality, not hushed performance.

Made for: For spiritually curious listeners who enjoy astrology, folklore, ghosts, alien themes, and practical energy work. It especially suits people who like mystical subjects handled with humor, candor, and everyday emotional insight.

What sets it apart: The show pairs supernatural belief with concrete human behavior, moving from Mercury retrograde or dragons into parenting, service, communication, and self-awareness. Its casual bluntness keeps the paranormal material lively instead of overly solemn.

In their own words

Did you know we can turn back time? Or scare away nightmares with a little black rock? Or that dead people can hide your car keys? How about that humans have worshiped the power of crystals long before the hippies? Brenda Rose (a natural born gifted psychic & teacher) and Julie Rieger (author, The Ghost Photographer & a natural born comedienne) will guide you through otherworldly stories and insights to help you harness the power of The Other Side.
