About this episode
It’s one of humanity's most elusive superpowers: levitation. This week dive into the life of St. Joseph of Cupertino, the 17th-century "Flying Friar" whose flights were witnessed by hundreds—including a stunned Pope Urban VIII—and eventually got him sequestered by a very skeptical Church.
Also, Tom recounts a Transcendental Meditation training video featuring "yogic flying" that looked suspiciously like a room full of people hopping cross-legged on mattresses.
