Hold onto your proton packs and dust off those headphones - the Fate, Luck & Karma crew is back to kick off Season 3, Episode 9! After a summer hiatus that lasted just a little longer than planned, and with Theo off planning a wedding, house move, and life-stuff, Dean and Jay are officially back in the studio... and they’ve brought a brand-new rotating guest host along for the ride.

Here is what we are diving into:

• The Guest Host Debut: Give a warm welcome to Ben Harris, the first of our rotating guest hosts! The West Midlands Ghostbusters member drops in to discuss joining the crew, and reveals why listening to FLK on the job ended in a full-blown scream in aisle 33 at Tesco. And yes, that's the bread aisle.
• Dan Aykroyd’s Emergency (Clickbait) Surgery: We unpack the sensationalised headlines around Dan Aykroyd's foot operation. Plus, we talk about his delayed debut novel Soulhider, his firm belief in aliens, and whether or not he’s actually seen two spaceships with his own eyes.
• UAPs and Sci-Fi Strippers: The conversation takes a wild turn from local alien sightings to forgotten 80s Transformer-adjacent toys like Rock Lords, before descending into the surprising revelation of The Empire Strips Back - a real-life Star Wars burlesque show - and its hoverboard-laden Benidorm counterpart.
• Website Launch & Paranormal Call-Out: We share the details on our brand-new home, fateluckandkarma.com, and throw open the doors for spooky season! Got a ghost story, a UAP sighting, or an unexplainable encounter? We want you to join us on the show to tell it.

Whether you're here for the franchise news, nostalgia trips, or just to hear how a spooky podcast can ruin a perfectly good bread-shopping run, join us as we dust off the mics and dive headfirst into the weird side of life.

Listen now, check out the new website, and tell us in the comments: What's the weirdest thing you've ever spotted in the night sky?

Get ready to fire up your neutronizers and stretch those vocal cords... the Fate, Luck & Karma crew is back in the studio, and we are steering the Ecto-1 down some truly unpredictable roads for our latest episode!

With annual Ghostbusters Day just around the corner - marking the anniversary of the original 1984 masterpiece - Dean, Jay, and Theo are breaking down what the future holds for our favourite paranormal investigators, before entirely losing the plot in the best way possible.

Here is what we are busting into this week:

• The Ghostbusters Day Forecast: We map out the annual celebration and speculate on what major announcements, trailers, or surprises we might see dropping for the franchise this year.
• The Ultimate Merch Manifestation: From bizarre crossovers like the Monster High Ghostbuster Zuul / Gozer figure to the ultimate toy aisle showdown - we debate whether Hasbro or Mattel is the right company to steer Ghostbusters merchandise into the future.
• The Disclosure Day Popcorn Bucket: Via a very unexpected turn of events, we dive into the (literally) wild, wonderful world of the latest cinema merch. Does it top our previous bucket battles, or is it completely out of this world?
• A Thrilling Conclusion: Via an even less expected turn of events, we close out the episode with Jay and Theo doing their absolute best Michael Jackson impressions. No, really. That actually happens.

Whether you are here for the high-end collectibles, the corporate toy politics, or just to hear two grown men try to hit a "Hee-Hee," join us for an episode that proves sometimes the paranormal is nothing compared to what happens when we leave the mics running.

Listen now, grab your snacks, and let us know in the comments: Who makes the better MJ?
