Summary

Time Travel. We’ve all fantasized about what could be possible if we possessed the ability to travel backwards or forwards through time; perhaps to see your favorite band in some small smokey venue before they were famous, or to prevent a horrible tragedy from taking place. But what if you stumbled upon time travel completely by accident? Where would you go? What would you do? This week, Jake, Brad, and Julian dive into the wondrous case of Mike “Mad Man” Marcum, a Coast to Coast AM caller who claimed to have built a Time Machine on his back porch in 1995. We’ll follow Mike from his humble beginnings working in a cardboard box factory all the way through his rise to fame as one of Art Bell’s most memorable callers. And of course, try to answer the most pertinent question of all: Did the madman actually do it?

0:00.0	Behind the cracking wallpaper of our reality, there exists another world that science has
0:27.6	yet to explain. In here, 12 monsters and madness and potentially the answers to our most important
0:35.6	questions, in this world, gravity intensifies, time slows down, and your heart rate begins.
0:43.3	I'm Jake Rockatansky, and I'm Brad Abrahams, and you're listening to the Spectral Voyager.
0:48.8	For today's episode, we're going to be talking about time travel. Now, for those who know me,
1:01.3	you know this is one of my most cherished topics. You know, it appears in some of my favorite movies
1:08.0	from growing up, obviously the back to the future series, but also stranger films like time crimes
1:15.6	and television shows like dark. You know, I've always just been fascinated not necessarily with
1:22.2	the concept of time travel, but actually the method in which somebody achieves it. I love seeing
1:30.4	artists representations of the machine. What it looks like, what it does, how does it work? And so
1:36.4	today we're going to be talking about the very strange case of Mike Madman Markham. Now, this is
1:43.6	a story you might have heard before. It went pretty viral on social media a couple months ago.
1:50.0	I believe on TikTok, and people were talking about it. But what I've prepared for you today is a
1:54.7	very comprehensive look at Mad Mike's journey, you know, from beginning to end. But before we get
2:01.7	started, Julian, welcome to your first appearance on the Spectral Voyager. Thank you, Jake. I've
2:08.1	actually appeared on a future episode. And so this is my second or I think even third. I can't remember
2:14.2	very well because obviously the timelines are crossing in my head, but I'm excited to be here.
2:18.6	Awesome. And you're a you're a time travel enthusiast, right? Yeah, I've been trying to get the
2:22.8	technology to work at home. I want to travel forward to my deathbed. Fair enough. And Brad,
2:29.5	what about you? I mean, in all of your sort of esoteric explorations, have you ever really kind of
2:35.2	hit on something time travel related that got stuck in your crawl and, you know, lingered in your
2:41.3	brain for longer than a minute or so? Well, yes. There's actually two cases that I think are
