About this listen

Each episode guides listeners through compelling real-world accounts and cutting-edge research on near-death experiences, past-life memories, and other phenomena that challenge our understanding of life, death, and what might lie beyond. This podcast invites you to explore the stories, science, and mystery at the edge of existence, where the veil between the living and the dead becomes surprisingly thin.

  • Spirit Contact & Mediumship
    Apr 20 2026

    In this episode I'm talking to Claire Broad about her book 'Answers from Heaven: Incredible True Stories of Heavenly Encounters and the Afterlife'

    Answers from Heaven is for anyone who has ever wondered if there is an afterlife and if it is truly possible to contact the spirit world.

    In this compelling book, Sunday Times bestselling author Theresa Cheung and medium Claire Broad share the fascinating true stories of ordinary people who have experienced direct communication from the spirit world, and those who have received proof of survival through a reading with Claire.

    Answers from Heaven outlines the many different ways that heaven may answer our prayers, offer us comfort and provide proof of survival, and includes:

    - The top ten afterlife signs

    - What near-death experiences can tell us

    - The meaning of visions and dreams

    - The importance of intuition and coincidence

    - Advice on visiting a medium

    As well as examining the ways in which messages can come to us from the other side, Answers from Heaven outlines the latest scientific research on the afterlife and mediumship, and helps shed light on one of the most important questions about human experience - what happens after we die? It also shares the practical steps we can all take to become more attuned to the medium that lies within us and recognise the signs that heaven is calling.

    Bio

    From an early age, Claire became aware of non-ordinary states of consciousness and the continuity of awareness beyond physical death. These early experiences shaped a lifelong inquiry into the nature of consciousness, the soul, and what it means to live well as a human being. Rather than framing this as belief, Claire has spent nearly three decades exploring consciousness through direct practice, disciplined training, and grounded application.

    Originally known for her work in mediumship and spirit communication, Claire’s practice naturally evolved as her understanding deepened. Today, her work sits at the intersection of soul awareness, consciousness studies, emotional safety, and lived human experience. She supports people in moving beyond fear-based spirituality, identity confusion, and spiritual overwhelm, and into a stable, embodied relationship with their own soul — one that supports clarity, regulation, purpose, and meaningful connection.

    Claire is widely respected for her down-to-earth, honest approach. She is often described as someone who brings spiritual understanding into practical life — without bypassing grief, trauma, or the realities of being human. Her work does not offer quick fixes or heightened states, but a deeper capacity to live with steadiness, meaning, and integrity.

    Alongside her private work, Claire teaches internationally and is regularly invited to lecture at established institutions, including the College of Psychic Studies in London. She has addressed sold-out audiences, led workshops and professional trainings, and facilitated immersive retreats focused on embodied soul awareness and conscious living. Through this work, she has supported thousands of people navigating loss, awakening, change, and personal transformation.

    Claire is the author of three bestselling books exploring the nature of the soul, consciousness, and life beyond death. Her writing is known for balancing spiritual insight with emotional honesty and psychological grounding, contributing to contemporary conversations around consciousness, meaning, and human potential.

    At the heart of Claire’s work is a simple truth:

    • You are not broken.

    • You are not lost.

    • And you are not separate from your soul.

    Learning to live from that place changes how you think, relate, and live.

  • A Near Death Experience
    Apr 6 2026

    In this episode I talk to Dr. Alan Hugenot. We talk about his Near Death Experience and his book The Death Experience: What it is like when you die.

    His book describes what you will experience as you die. Giving details of the death process and your journey into the afterlife based on the author's own Near-Death experience where he died, went out-of-body into the afterlife, and returned to a second life in the same body. His experiences are collated with the Tibetan Book of the Dead; the Egyptian Book of the Dead; and current research on the Near Death-experience by the International Association for Near Death Studies (IANDS); Dr. Ian Stevensens's research on Children who Remember Past Lives at the University of Virginia; and studies of After-Death Communication at the University of Arizona. Giving the current science on consciousness survival while explaining quantum mathematics and the afterlife postulated to exist in dark energy located in alternative dimensions.

    Bio

    Dr. Hugenot began the study of mediumship more than a dozen years ago strictly as a scientist, intending to establish scientifically that this phenomenon was valid, and that communication with deceased surviving consciousness was indeed possible.

    Before giving his first reading he trained as a medium for 7 years within the Spiritualist tradition. This included completing the 4 year course with the Morris Pratt Institute, outside Milwaukie, Wisconsin, and also traveling to Lily Dale outside Buffalo, N.Y. to take week long seminars.

    Finally. he made three separate trips to England attending a total of five weeks of courses at Arthur Findlay College, of psychic science, outside Stansted, Essex, UK. So that today he is a member of the Licentiate Ministers & Certified Mediums Society of the NSAC.

    Currently, he regularly “demonstrates” Evidential Mediumship from the platform at Spiritualist services, and in circles (seances).

    His website is https://afterlife.pro/
