Hacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Jimmy Carter, Winston Churchill, Paul Newman, ElvisHappy New Year! Well no time like the present to kick off the new year with a mind bending podcast courtesy of Jennifer Shaffer and Rich Martini.  Jennifer's web page JenniferShaffer.com has links to her "Uncorked" events, or to book with her directly, RichardMartini.com is where one can book a guided meditation with Rich. So the other day in my kitchen (and I don't know why it's the case, but I sometimes get a message or feeling there that someone wants to talk to us) President Jimmy Carter popped into my head. 2025-01-0446 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Robert Towne and William ShakespeareAnother mind bending podcast. In this case as usual, Jennifer and I had no idea whom Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside would bring to the conversation. In this case it was my old boss Robert Towne, the screenwriter who passed away recently. He brought up the topic of "DreamBombing" a person's dream.  Jennifer said the term, then later I asked him if he coined it or she did - and he took credit for it. The idea is that they can "slip into" a dream we're having and just say hello.  We may be...2024-09-0631 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Carl Weathers, Stephen HawkingI went to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce ceremony for my pal Carl Weathers. (We wrote a script together were friends for 20 years.)  At the ceremony I met some relatives and friends, and told them I might be able to reach out to Carl via our podcast (again.) If one searches his name on this podcast, they'll see the initial interview. But in honor of his family and friends, here's an article that talks about what the ceremony was like: HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES -- Carl Weathers was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk o...2024-08-3153 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Prince, Matthew Perry, Linda and Jim Medlyn and "Five"A field trip to the Akashic library. Another mind bending podcast.  Jennifer's mom passed away last week, and she took us on a field trip to visit the Akashic library. No other way to put it. First Prince showed up to talk a little bit about being connected to people, then Matthew Perry talked about a client that Jennifer had worked with that he showed up during their session. I asked Matthew if he was attending any classes on the flipside, and he replied "any that I can get my light i...2024-03-0139 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer - The ProcessToday's podcast is about process.  In our ongoing conversation with Luana Anders, our pal no longer on the planet but who moderates a classroom on the flipside, we asked her about process. How people are able to connect with their loved ones on the flipside, but from the perspective of someone on the flipside trying to reach out to someone here. In today's conversations, Luana has Charles Grodin, TV producer Howard Schultz and others weigh in on the process.  We have guest appearances by Garry Shandling on the anniversary of his passing, who talks about the "venn di...2022-03-2541 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer and the LibrarianHappy St. Patrick's Day.    Today we have an interesting chat with someone who self identifies as "the Librarian."  In this instance, he suggested we call him "Seven" as to avoid separation between us and him.  He says that he's the librarian for all the Akashic libraries - normally shows up as an ancient fellow who is about the size and demeanor of Yoda. In the half dozen times I've chatted with him, via different people, each time he gives insight into the journey. In this case he self identifies as the "Librarian" of all Akashic libra...2022-03-1853 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer and our first live guest Robert ThurmanWe had our first guest on our podcast - first guest that is still on the planet that is!  I had the good fortune to take a class with Robert Thurman at Columbia University back in the 90's. As noted in my talk at the Conference of Living and Dying recently via Tibet House, I was working for Charles Grodin on his talk show when I audited this class in philosophy. It led me to study Tibetan philosophy - Buddhism in particular, which I find to be a peerless philosophy. Robert is an author of many excellent b...2022-03-061h 03Hacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer and Sally ”Hot Lips” KellermanFifteen minutes before our podcast I learned that one of my closest pals on the planet had left the planet.   Sally was best friends with Luana Anders, they traipsed around Hollywood together, lived together, stayed best friends for both of their lives.  Sally's husband Jonathan Krane was my champion - produced three films that I directed, believed in me as no other person in Hollywood has. He was John Travolta's manager.  He also ran a mini studio, pioneered a number of innovative ways of financing and making feature films.  He was behind hit films like "Look Who's Talki...2022-02-2533 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer - Talking to a Council on the FlipsideAnother unusual session - this time in Jennifer's office, completely unplanned.   In this session, or mentor on the flipside, Luana Anders, suggests that I prepare to speak at the Art of Living and Dying conference (see RichMartini.com for details) by visiting my own council. We take a trip to visit my "council."  When I did my first hypnotherapy session for the film and book "Flipside" I met my council.  At the time, I didn't think I would "get anywhere" let alone have a conversation with a group of a advisors and teachers on the flipside, but in t...2022-02-1930 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer Super Bowl edition with a visit from Steve JobsEven writing the headline for these podcasts is problematic.  Do we know for a fact this was Steve Jobs coming for a chat? No. Jennifer has done a session with his daughter, and Steve has come forward a number of other times to answer questions. As noted in the podcast, she was doubting it was him at first as well. Yes, we discuss the winner of the Super Bowl. Because everyone out there who wants to meet with a medium, wants to use their powers to discern the future. And we have a healthy discussion a...2022-02-1133 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Elvis, Charles Grodin and JimAfter this podcast, where we talk about the ways to communicate from the flipside to this side, I was in the car and put on a random 50's station, and lo and behold Elvis was singing "TREAT ME NICE."   That is something that he mentions in this podcast. That when we access people on the flipside, if we think of them in angry terms, the messages don't get through.  However, if we "treat them nice" we can communicate with pretty much anyone. Another unusual podcast in a sea of them.  In this case, Luana Anders, my p...2022-02-0450 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer Redux Xmas EpisodeDue to circumstances beyond our control, we've had to dig into the stocking by the fireplace for a podcast this week, the last one of 2021.   Why not just rerun the one we did last year at this same time? Sounds like a great idea. Wishing all our listeners and friends a happy holidaze, and here's the reaching out to our loved ones on the flipside. They say that they're with us during the holidays, because of course we think of them. They say that we should toast them in present tense because after all they can hear us...2021-12-2539 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Steve Jobs and George HarrisonThis is a bit different, as Jennifer had spoken with someone who was close to Steve Jobs the day before, and alerted me that he might want to stop by the podcast for a chat.   I didn't know that to be the case, but we had spoken to him before, so I prepared some questions beforehand. As noted, some of the questions to him, Jennifer could not know the answers. His comment that his relationship with Kubun Otogawa "saved his life so he could have his life" - was spot on, as he was a Zen Master t...2021-12-1052 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife Anniversary Special with Jennifer Shaffer and Billy PrestonIt's our Anniversary Special!  Jennifer reached out to me 7 years ago, after listening to the audible for my second book "It's a Wonderful Afterlife." At the time I didn't know anything about mediums, other than I'd met a few who were spot on and amazingly accurate. I didn't realize that it was another methodology for accessing information on the flipside. So we spent three hours together our first meeting - me filming her accessing people on the flipside. Me asking her questions about her path and journey - all on film.  She knew more about a...2021-12-011h 01Hacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Stephen Hawking, Mino and LuanaThis is something filmed in April of 2019.   It was on the heels of a conversation with Hawking, Sagan, Tesla and Einstein. That interview is in the book "Backstage Pass to the Flipside 3" - this one is reproduced in the new book "Tuning into the Afterlife." There's a number of unusual concepts covered in this session, talking to Stephen Hawking about how to access a "slice of time." The story that I'm referring to was told by the actor Hank Azaria on the Stephen Colbert show - prefaced by the "funniest thing I ever heard." He sa...2021-11-2849 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer - Talking to Pets on the FlipsideThis is one of those unusual podcasts where again, no plan, just chatting with Jennifer.  And in this case, a dog came through that I knew 30 years ago - that I walked for three years for my then boss Robert Towne, Oscar winning screenwriter. Hira was a unique pet - treated me like a vassal, had a persona that I can remember thinking "this isn't a dog. This is like a person who allows me to walk with him, rather than walk him."  Robert and Hira had a terrific bond, even though Robert had other dogs before an...2021-11-191h 00Hacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcast”Hacking the Afterlife” with Richard Martini ”Eleven Eleven”This is a book talk that I gave in Laguna Woods about "Eleven eleven" in 2019.  The information still applies.  Jennifer was busy today and could not participate in the podcast. This is a 90 minute book talk, so for those who can handle me speaking non stop for two hours, this is for you. Talk was given for the "Life After Life" club in Laguna Woods that covers my journey into the flipside, as well as some of the latest reports.   Refers to books "Flipside" "It's a wonderful afterlife" "Hacking the Afterlife" and "Backstage Pas...2021-11-121h 33Hacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcast”Hacking the Afterlife” with Jennifer Shaffer and Luana Anders -DAY OF THE DEADThis is another one of those podcasts about process. In this case, Jennifer recounts going to someone's house to do some mediumship work, and this person added a wall of photographs to their home.  The idea was to "remember where we came from and how we got here." Along those lines, a discussion of how Jennifer's father had come through and given us advice from the flipside about how to deal with grief.  He said "grief is only sad memories, but nostalgia is both sad and happy memories - when you can move grief to no...2021-11-0431 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Jesse Owens and Muhammed AliUnusual podcast today - first a conversation about dreams, and how dreams are created, both with folks no longer on the planet, and our memories of them.   A dive into how consciousness functions. And then, when asked if our moderator on the flipside Luana Anders has brought anyone in to speak with us, she introduces Jesse Owens, because "there aren't enough athletes in our class." Which is pretty funny - Jennifer knew little about Jesse, I knew a tad more that she does - but look up some details while we are doing the show.  He...2021-10-2951 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer and Luana Anders, back from the UKJennifer is back from the UK and worlds beyond!  In this shortened episode, we discuss some things with our moderator on the flipside Luana Anders, who talks about her observations of the planet. It bears repeating that Luana was my 20 year companion, who passed to the flipside in 1996, who started showing up in dreams, visions, and then to members of my family prior to doing any of this research into the Flipside. As noted in the book "Flipside: A Tourist's Guide on How to Navigate the Afterlife" it was her appearance that inspired this journey.2021-10-2236 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Tom Petty, Amazing Randi, Regis and Paul NewmanThis is a podcast from a year ago - when we first started to do zoom sessions and put them on MartiniZone.com at the YouTube channel.  Oldie but goodie while Jennifer is traipsing around the planet. I begin the segment with me on camera mentioning the two folks I invited to come to the session. Jennifer knew the face of Tom, one of them, didn't know the second one Randi at all.  However, we spoke to Tom before, and this conversation is in honor of his 70th birthday.  We talk about his birthday party on the fli...2021-10-1455 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer ShafferJennifer is away from the desk for a moment or three.   In the meantime, I was looking through our old interviews.  These were not made for the podcast - they follow the same format, but were not meant to be shown. The idea was that Jennifer and I would have lunch once a week and see who came forward. These recorded conversations are part of the book "Backstage Pass to the Flipside."  If you haven't read any of them, it's a good place to start. By this time, we are speaking in short hand.  I know...2021-10-081h 12Hacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer and Luana Anders about dreamsAnother mind bending session with Jennifer Shaffer and Luana Anders on the flipside.  I posted some photographs on Facebook of Luana who appeared in Francis Coppola's first film "Dementia 13" as it's being released on Blue Ray this week with a commentary by Francis.  And when mentioning that on our podcast, Jennifer revealed that she's been "reading" a member of the Coppola family since 2009.  I have no idea of how that came about - it clearly didn't have anything to do with me or Luana since Jennifer and I didn't meet until 6 years ago, and I had not kno...2021-09-2451 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders and Bill PaxtonThis is one of those podcasts about process.   As usual we had nothing on our agenda, but Luana did. At some point she interrupted me (what else is new?) to get Jennifer to say "Luana wants to talk about something."  I know this is problematic for some people. As I note in the podcast, it's not my opinion, theory or belief that I've been filming people for the past ten years accessing the flipside, it's on film.  It's literally footage. Take a look at the films "Flipside" or "Hacking the Afterlife" on Amazon Prim...2021-09-1744 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Charles Grodin and Elizabeth TaylorJust another day in the park on the flipside.  In this case, Jennifer got a glimpse of Steve Martin on the Flipside. Because of the people involved, I guessed what that was a reference to.  Not only is Charles Grodin's longtime friend in a successful show on Hulu, so is his pal Martin Short (Clifford.) As noted in the show, Charles was close to Steve Martin - and despite their close relationship, acknowledges that Steve can't hear him when he's trying to reach out to him.  That's a common refrain, as it's hard for someone to...2021-09-1040 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Stephen Hawking, James Dean and Helen KellerWe got lucky today as Jennifer was available for a full hour.  We start off with a question about frequency and how electronics seem to influencing and affecting our lifetimes, and at Luana Anders suggestion (neither Jennifer nor I had planned anything in advance) she brought Stephen forward to talk about frequency disruption.  We've had chats with Stephen before - they're in the books "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" as well as previous podcasts.  The point is - we might not be able to translate what he's telling us, but someone else might try to do...2021-09-031h 10Hacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer and Don Everly and GuestsI met Don Everly once in my career playing pianos in nightclubs around the planet.   The amazing sax player Craig Cole, a member of our band "Imminent Disaster" and I were playing a gig at Les Deux Cafe. It was just me and Craig and as I began singing "Knocking on Heaven's Door" there was the sound of someone singing harmony in my ear.

Quite a few musicians who invite their pals to our classroom. That's not to say that we've only interviewed guys - in the books "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" there are excerpts of 100s of interviews, quite a few women of note.  Women who have come forward to share the...2021-08-1330 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer speaking of dreams, a Civil War Vet and Ric OcasekAnother mind bending foray into the flipside.  As noted in this podcast, we don't come prepped or ready to speak to anyone, unless something odd has happened. In this case, Jennifer had asked for help from her great grandfather a few days ago - and really didn't  know anything beyond his name. And like I do with all of my research, I do look this stuff up.

Every week, clockwork, we meet up and chat with people on the flipside.  We've gotten to a point where I can understand the metaphor of what she's seeing or saying. In terms of the process, it's pretty much stayed the same. Since the first time we met, and someone "showed up" during our conversation, I wondered if this was a "one time thing" or if it was something that could be repeated.

(Anthony and Robin appear in the books "Backstage Pass to the Flipside," both interviewed extensively.)

To be clear Jennifer and I don't discuss in advance who we're going to speak to, and Luana Anders our trusted moderator is in charge of who gets on her clipboard and into the class.

We have three books of interviews "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" where we discuss how we met, the process we use, and the many verifications that have occurred on camera in her office, in restaurants.  In this case, one can search through these podcasts to hear other verificiations.

My mother, a concert pianist stopped by to refer to a photograph I was working with on my latest book a few days ago. Then Tom Petty stopped by.

Then we interview Charles Grodin again, with some questions about process and clarification. There's a brief discussion with Robert Towne's dog Hira, and a comment about something Chuck mentioned to his friend Paul.  I can report that Paul has responded to what Chuck said about him, offering "Chuck’s words have an a...2021-05-2845 minHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking The Afterlife podcastHacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer - a visit with Charles GrodinThis is an homage to Charles Grodin.

In this podcast, one could say it's a culmination of 40 years of knowing him, ten years of filming people accessing the afterlife, and five years of filming sessions with Jennifer Shaffer weekly. It's also our 10,000th download - we have 60 podcasts so far.

She has two workshops - one that covers how to help law enforcement, and the second is for people who want to be part of the group that does.  I've attended in the past, and it's well worth the effort,  if only to understand the process.

She mentioned the "Librarian" (whom I described as Danny DeVito because someone else described him that way in "Architecture of the Afterlife") So I asked if there was a reason he wanted to chat with us.

Monte passed away a few days ago - and I thought since he was friends with Luana, Harry Dean Stanton and others both on this side and the flipside, thought he might be an interesting interview.

When asked who they were, Jennifer said she was hearing "Bernini and Michelangelo."   As someone who majored in Humanities at BU, who wrote a miniseries for HBO about the Medici family in the Renaissance, I'm familiar with Michelangelo's story and Bernini's.  We revisited our previous conversation to ask these fellows some questions about their lives and journey.

Acknowledging that it's not easy for everyone, it is easier for some - and there are techniques to learn. Meditation helps because it rewires the brain.

As I always do, I suggest that person "Make a reservation with Luana, who is the holder of our clipboard."
