Wham, Bam, Autism scams: The Telepathy Tapes Part 2

18 August 2025

The Telepathy Tapes is a 10+ episode podcast series that was released in September 2024. Created and hosted by Ky Dickens, Season 1 is described as daring to… “explore the profound abilities of non-speakers with autism - individuals who have long been misunderstood and underestimated”. But Dickens doesn't content herself with the common trope of autistic savantism and instead goes full paranormal. Specifically, as the podcast name indicates, Dickens presents incidents of telepathy, but also astral projection (see episode 3), mediumship (see episode 2), talking to god (see episode 7), and pronosticating (see episode 5 and 7).
