About this Podcast:
"The Thinning" explores experiences that unsettle our explanations of reality—consciousness, near-death experiences, the paranormal, and the questions they raise across science and culture. The show isn’t about proving anything. It’s about what happens to people after the mystery: how attention shifts, values change, and life opens up. Hosted by Steven D. Martin, "The Thinning" is a space for thoughtful conversation where certainty loosens and the veil feels thin.
