He vanished from the public eye years ago... but now, Madman Marcum finally speaks. In this rare and riveting episode, we uncover the bizarre and brilliant mind of Michael “Madman” Marcum—a man who stunned the world in the 1990s with his audacious attempt to build a working time machine from his Missouri garage. Using a modified Jacob’s Ladder and salvaged electronics, Marcum’s experiments weren’t just theoretical—they sparked strange phenomena, landed him in legal trouble, and earned him an unforgettable appearance on Coast to Coast AM. Then… silence. Now, after years of obscurity, Marcum breaks that silence to share his story, his warnings, and what may have happened after his final experiment. Was he on the edge of cracking time travel? What did he see—and where did he go? Join the discussion with hosts Tressa Slate and Jeni Monroe. It’s a historic moment with one of the most elusive figures in fringe science. Don’t miss this exclusive interview that explores the thin line between genius and madness, the dangers of playing with forces we don’t fully understand, and the enduring mystery of a man who may have bent the fabric of time.
