Booyah! What if a scientific breakthrough could change how humans travel through space—and put billions of lives at risk? What if UFOs aren’t what we think they are? Could aliens exist? Will humans ever travel between stars? Can AI actually create—or is it just copying us? And what happens when science advances faster than humanity is ready for? In this episode of The Naughty Librarian, author and PhD James Cramer, writing as James Leland, gets unusually candid about his ideas, experiences, science and behind-the-scenes thinking that shaped his new science-fiction book—and some of the real-world questions hiding inside it. Government forces want the technology—and they want the knowledge contained. Janet and her scientific partner are suddenly caught between manipulation, secrecy, competing agendas and the possibility that billions of people could be at risk. And that’s only the beginning. There is real science behind this fictional technology, including gravitational coupling, advanced materials, electromagnetics, radio waves, black holes and interstellar travel technology that already exists?

Then the conversation takes a turn. UFOs, UAPs & Aliens

Are UAPs and UFOs evidence of extraterrestrial life? James explains why he believes aliens probably exist somewhere in the universe and discusses energy-based life, unexplained phenomena, pop culture's influence on UFO sightings and how the evidence adds up. Technological breakthroughs can completely rewrite what we consider impossible.

Can artificial intelligence write a book like this? James gives a surprisingly nuanced answer. He discusses AI, creativity, pattern recognition, human motivation, job displacement and whether machines can ever create something simply because they want to.

Topics: science fiction • sci-fi author • TOE • new book • PhD • engineering • technology •physics • materials science • electromagnetics • space travel • interstellar travel • Alpha Centauri • aliens • extraterrestrial life • artificial intelligence • AI • theory of everything • Star Trek • Star Wars • black holes • scientific discovery • technology • creativity • writing • publishing • future of humanity. Star Trek, Star Wars, creativity, writing, publishing making mad money and the possibility of seeing his book become a movie or streaming series.

Forget the book jacket. The Naughty Librarian Podcast is where the author is the real story. Go behind the pages with award-winning host Alex and into the secrets, obsessions, scandals, struggles, wild experiences, unexpected twists and deeply personal moments that shaped the people who write the books you can’t put down. From bestselling authors and breakout voices to unforgettable characters with stories you never saw coming, these are the conversations you won’t find in the back of the book—or anywhere else.

If you love great storytelling, fascinating people, true stories, crime, mystery, suspense, shocking revelations, human drama and the stories behind the stories, you’re in the right place. No boring book reports or influencers who do not read. No predictable author interviews. Just smart, funny, sometimes outrageous conversations that make you want to keep listening—and then immediately find the book.

The reveal we all knew? Who is the actor turned governor who this guest explains sexually assaulted a camera woman on the set? Listen and discover for yourself. This is a candid and raw unfiltered shocking conversation you won't find anywhere else.

In this episode hear the dark underside of the glamorous industry from an industry insider who spent decades with a front row ticket to it all in a career that spanned over 50 years and inspired her debut book. Kim and her publicity director husband Jeff Walker have been married for over 50 years and have formed close relationships with celebrities from Bob Marley, to a 19 year old Jamie Lee Curtis with her Halloween director John Carpenter and have seen it all.

Hear how Hollywood celebrities thought they could do anything to the female crew on the set and the power moguls in the entertainment industry dated and had intimate relationships with underage girls. Teenagers. It was the norm. There were never consequences for breaking the law. While some predators have since been convicted like disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein who was sentenced to 15 years in prison on September 23, 2026 (1) others like this former actor remain. Could it be the former actor turned California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger who has been accused multiple times but has not been charged or tried? Arnold Schwarzenegger was the 38th Governor of California (2003-11) and starred in action blockbusters like The Terminator, Total Recall and Predator. While married to Maria Shriver he fathered a child with another woman, his longtime housekeeper Mildred Baena. Both women gave birth to his children in the same month. There have been 16 women who have made allegations against the actor turned governor to date. He said he "never grabbed anyone or pulled up their shirt or grabbed their breasts." We welcome author Arnold Schwarzenegger on the show to tell his side of the story for those allegations and talk about his books.

The #MeToo movement highlighting the prevalence of sexual harassment in Hollywood and the entertainment industry. Does it have more work to do?

Hurricanes have power and so do words. Guest author is Steve Shiflett an independent woodworker and custom artisan based in the Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina, USA, North America. In an unflitered, raw, honest conversation he reveals his personal experience in the Hurricane Helene tragedy and what he did to heal his neighbors, his mountain and himself through the power of words and action.

THE NATURAL DISASTER AND HUMAN TOLL

What did nature do? Nature can take everything—or give you everything. The same natural world capable of unleashing hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, and floods can also create breathtaking beauty, sustain life, and bring unexpected connections. Hurricane Helene became one of the most destructive natural disasters in recent U.S. history. After making landfall in Florida as a Category 4 hurricane with winds reaching 140 mph, Helene unleashed catastrophic flooding, storm surge, extreme rainfall, and destructive winds across multiple states. In western North Carolina, already-saturated mountain soils could not absorb the deluge, triggering record-breaking flash floods, raging rivers, mudslides, landslides, washed-out roads, destroyed bridges, power outages, and widespread infrastructure damage. The devastation was staggering: homes and businesses were destroyed, entire communities were cut off, communications failed, and thousands of people required rescue or emergency assistance. More than 200 people ultimately died across the disaster zone, while the damage reached an estimated $78.7 billion, making Helene one of the costliest and deadliest hurricanes in decades. Its aftermath became a story not only of catastrophic weather and unimaginable destruction, but also of survival, rescue, resilience, and communities coming together in the face of disaster. THE COMMUNITY THAT REFUSED TO DIE What did local artisan, author & ébéniste Steve Shiflett do when his bridge was washed out, his neighbors were killed and countless more lost their property and livelihoods? He took up his pen and wrote a beautiful healing story of eleven-year-old Kieran who moves to the countryside, and meets Melissa, a honeybee born the same spring and their magical friendship as they work together to save a struggling hive. It healed many. Through their extraordinary bond Kieran discovers that nature isn't simply something to fear or control. It is something to understand, respect, and protect. And sometimes, the smallest wings can carry the biggest message: that courage, compassion, and living in harmony with the natural world can make a difference far beyond what we imagine.

What happens when the people who are supposed to enforce the law become part of the crime? When the law is no longer protecting you—but hunting you? We recap the biggest true-crime story out of Russia right now live from Moscow, Russia, with author of the TRUE CRIME REAL-WORLD thriller debut Lawyers Among Thieves: The Volga Trap Igor Tsvetkov. An authentic dive into Russia’s corporate warfare. From inside Russia, this brave PhD and lawyer reveals all, changing names to protect the innocent. Come spiral with us in this authentic dive into Russia’s corporate warfare world leaders do NOT want you to know about.

ABOUT THE CRIME

ILYA KROMOV, head lawyer at a struggling defense plant on the Volga, has spent years playing the game—giving bribes, cutting corners, keeping the raiders at bay. He’s no hero. He’s just better at the game than most.But when police ambush him at a meeting with a bank representative, Ilya realizes he’s been outplayed. The ambush was a setup. And the man pulling the strings has already seized the plant’s subsidiary and is now coming for the rest.Fired, disgraced, and abandoned by a wife who suspects him of worse than he’s willing to admit, Ilya has nothing left but his legal skills and a corrosive pride. He joins forces with a shadowy Moscow firm staffed by ex-KGB operatives—not because he trusts them, but because in a city where courts are bought and officials have prices, they’re the only allies left.Set against the haunting industrial landscape of Ulyanovsk—where Soviet ghosts watch from crumbling monuments, Orthodox domes rise beside Tatar mosques, and the Volga wind carries whispers of betrayal—this is not just a legal thriller. It’s a story of survival in a world where the law is just another weapon and no one walks away. This true crime podcast episode is the go-to podcast episode for true crime fans who want to stay informed, entertained, hear from the author directly, and be inspired. Themes include: legal thriller, crime thriller, true crime, corporate crime, corporate raiding, corruption, bribery, organized crime, hostile takeover, bankruptcy, Russian law, legal suspense, police corruption, criminal investigation, law enforcement, compromised courts, corporate warfare, intimidation, betrayal, mysterious death, domestic violence, coercive control, religious trauma, evangelical church, pastor, church leadership, abusive relationship, harassment, cyberstalking, federal investigation, surveillance footage, witness evidence, divorce, justice, moral ambiguity, survival, abuse of power, psychological manipulation.

When the battlefield follows you home with Tobin and Jake He Survived War Coming Home Was the Hardest Battle: A Retired Veteran’s Story of PTSD and his service dog, author Tobin **They Trained Him to Kill and Survive War. No One Trained Him to Come. Encore of the inaugural episode that started it all, taking this podcast from one listener to one million in less than a year. With listeners in over 60 countries and 250 cities in the USA.

Jake and Tobin. One person. One dog. One hell of a story. It took the podcast The Naughty Librarian from one listener to one million.

Average age of marine corps in America is 23. "We're kids" says Jake, medically retired after a tragic bomb incident where his fellow marines were scattered to pieces. The norms are kill. It makes Crime Junkies look like Mother Teresa feeding orphans. Neutralizing 'a thousand' targets? Or more? A common reality for USA service members once the military is done with them. It teaches them how to kill. It doesn't tell them how to survive after.

In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Jake opens up about PTSD, military trauma, mental health, service, recovery, and the invisible wounds that can follow a person long after the fighting is over.

They Trained Him to Survive War. No One Trained Him to Come Home.

• What War Teaches You About Life, Leadership & Sacrifice
• Behind the Battle: Courage, Sacrifice, Leadership & Survival
• The Cost of Courage: War, Sacrifice & the Human Spirit
• What It Really Takes to Survive, Lead & Keep Going
• War, Life & Everything They Don’t Tell You
• Courage Under Fire: Lessons in Leadership, Sacrifice & Survival

Tobin is a PTSD service dog, companion, protector, and a huge part of Jake’s journey back toward a normal life.

This conversation gets into the stuff people don't always want to talk about — trauma, anxiety, isolation, mental health, memories, healing, resilience, veterans, military life, coming home, and what happens when the battle follows you into everyday life.

It’s also a conversation about the insane bond between a human being and a service dog, and how animals can sometimes reach people in ways that other people simply can't.

Jake's story is at the center of My Service Person, a book told from Tobin's perspective that explores PTSD, traumatic experiences, the internal struggles of service members, mental health, and finding joy again after trauma. This is about what happens after the uniform comes off.

WE TALK ABOUT:

PTSD • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder • military PTSD • veterans • veteran mental health • military service • combat trauma • trauma recovery • mental health • anxiety • depression • emotional trauma • service dogs • PTSD service dogs • veterans and service dogs • military veterans • coming home from war • invisible wounds • healing from trauma • resilience • recovery • loneliness • isolation • courage • brotherhood • companionship • human-animal bond • mental health awareness • veteran stories • military stories • service member trauma • life after military service

If you’ve ever wondered what PTSD actually looks like behind closed doors, what it means to come home from military service, or how a service dog can change someone's life, this conversation is worth hearing.

Jake and Tobin. One person. One dog. One hell of a story. It took the podcast The Naughty Librarian from one listener to one million in less than a year. Hear why in this encore episode with additional content you won't get anywhere else.

He is an authority on male eating disorders, drug addiction, drug rehabilitation, and alcoholism. He is a lawyer and activist and the brother of billionaire Mark Cuban. He is the younger brother of Dallas Mavericks owner and entrepreneur Mark Cuban. He is a Dallas-based attorney, author and addiction recovery advocate. Brian has been in long-term recovery from alcohol, cocaine and bulimia since April of 2007.

In this episode, we sit down with Brian Cuban for a candid conversation about success, bullying, body image, addiction and recovery, wealth, family, identity, what it really means to build a fulfilling life and much more. Known to many people as the brother of billionaire entrepreneur and investor Mark Cuban, Brian has spent years developing a perspective on success that goes far beyond money. While Mark Cuban has become synonymous with entrepreneurship, business, investing, and extraordinary financial wealth, Brian brings a different—and deeply personal—lens to the conversation. His story raises important questions.

Growing Up Cuban

The Cuban name carries significant cultural weight in the business world because of Mark Cuban's remarkable entrepreneurial journey. But Brian's story demonstrates that success doesn't follow a single formula. Even with advantages, life can be a challenge.

Brian's story encourages listeners to examine the metrics they have adopted from society, family, social media, or the business world—and decide whether those metrics actually belong to them. Brian Cuban's perspective helps demonstrate that a meaningful life isn't necessarily about accumulating the most money in the room. Sometimes it's about understanding yourself, confronting difficult experiences, and deciding what kind of person you want to become.

In this episode:

• Why wealth shouldn't be confused with personal fulfillment
• What it's like to have a highly successful family member
• The psychological impact of comparison and expectations
• The difference between external success and internal well-being
• How to create your own definition of “winning”
• Why meaningful relationships can be a form of wealth
• All about his book that is being optioned to become a film called The Ambulance Chaser

His story reminds us that success is also about what you overcome, who you become, and the people you have beside you when the achievements and headlines fade.

Luthier to the stars, JC began his musical career by studying guitar for seven years, working towards becoming a professissional musician. By playing the guitar and being mechanically inclined, he decided to try and make his own guitars. John’s father had built a wood shop in their family’s basement, so he started to experiment with building his own guitars. After graduating from High School in the late sixties, John decided to move to Los Angeles in order to help his sister. John obtained a job working at Westwood Music in West Los Angeles repairing guitars. C.F. Martin the IV was studying at UCLA at that time, and knew that Westwood Music was an authorized dealer and a Martin Service Center. C.F. wanted a part-time job and started working with John, who showed C.F. how to build his first guitar. When Bob Taylor was first starting out, he met with John to gain insight about building acoustic guitars. Over the years John built a solid reputation and worked on many famous players guitars including the Rolling Stones, Byrds, Doors, Eagles, CSNY, Fleetwood Mac, REO Speedwagon, Survivor, Peter Frampton, Foreigner, Lee Sklar, Chuck Rainey, Jimmy Johnson, Alphonso Johnson, Bob Weir, Tommy Tedesco, Joe Pass, Barney Kessel, Lee Ritenour, Larry Coryel, Kenny Loggins, Frank Zappa, Eric Clapton, Steely Dan, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Emilou Harris, Merle Haggard, Elvis, James Burton, Heart, Rick Springfield, Tom Petty, James Taylor, Devo and many more. Having had a huge success and an excellent reputation in the Guitar Repair Industry, Guitar Player magazine invited him to be on staff to write the Guitar Workshop column. Additionally, Yamaha asked John to work for them as a consultant to help design their SG, SA, FG and FC electric and acoustic guitars, and their higly successful BB basses. Yamaha also hired him to set up their service departments and train their personnel, as well as work with Yamaha’s high-power advertising agencies. CBS hired Bill Schultz, whom John worked with at Yamaha, to reinvigorate Fender. Bill Schultz in turn hired John to work at Fender. John’s career working on design and production spanned from their Fullerton complex to Brea, and finally to Corona. John designed Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy D’Aquisto, Robben Ford, all Vintage Reissues and the Acoustic lines of guitars. With the success of the Fender product lines, John was asked to run the Fender Custom Shop. Because he already had his own established business, John respectfully declined. Leo Fender took notice of John’s work, and asked him to consult with him on design and implementation of the Musicman Stingray and Sabre guitars and basses. Upon Leo Fender’s death, John was given the honor to make a limited 600-count run of bodies of the Leo Fender Commemorative Guitar Model for G&L. During the same time period, John also worked for Ibanez and helped them design and improve many of their guitars including the Joe Pass model, and the Artist Series guitars and basses.

Inspired by true events at a Southern California high school.Instead of making it a Blockbuster night, dive into a nostalgic archive seen through CRT TV screens, AOL Instant Messenger pings, burned CDs, and the frosted tips generation.

It's 2002 in the world of The Beta Boys, and 16-year-old Roman Vallancourt has the audacious dream to become the next tech icon. He hatches a computer hacking heist that could make him a digital legend—or destroy everything important to him.

He recruits his two Armenian best friends as co-conspirators: Tadeh Tovmasian, a cocky and relentless overachiever, and Alex Ter Alaverdian, a gaming savant who's more comfortable handling controllers than conversations with girls.

Told through all three perspectives, The Beta Boys is more than a heist story: it’s an archival love letter to an analog-to-digital generation—navigating brutal social hierarchies, the awkward spark of first crushes, and the unfiltered weirdness of high school before social media.

Three friends, one cyber heist. Will their bond survive the code? Will you survive the summer without binging on this episode & all other episodes of the global hit podcast⁠The Naughty Librarian⁠? Even Elon listens.
