ABOUT US

Metaphysical was created in 2022 to share with the public the captivating conversations that remote viewer John Vivanco and investigative researcher Rob Counts were having each week.

Metaphysical is the first show to bridge the gap between the spiritual and scientific worlds using both investigative research and remote viewing data.

Topics have ranged from inspiring ancient history to mysterious legends, from strange space phenomena to unbelievable cryptids. John and Rob openly search for the truth about ancient history, interdimensional beings, paranormal phenomena, and the human spirit—and have fun doing it. While their individual knowledge of artistic, esoteric, historical, and otherworldly information does overlap with each other, their unique backgrounds and interests bring an enjoyable dynamic to each show that not only fascinates listeners, but also entertains them with John’s subtle humor and Rob’s quick wit. Metaphysical is produced by Rise.TV and has received positive feedback from hundreds of thousands of viewers. The Metaphysical podcast with both hosts is currently streaming with video on Rise.TV, and the audio version airs on Podbean, Apple Podcast, and Spotify. The Metaphysical episodes that Rob hosts, as well as documentaries with both hosts, are currently streaming on YouTube. You can share Metaphysical clips and follow Rob and John on both Instagram and TikTok. Want to know more about the Metaphysical hosts?
