The irony about UFOs is that they were publicly dismissed as untrue and impossible by nearly all official sources for over eight decades. So, naturally, Hollywood got involved.

Sound, Light & Frequency is a 36-episode immersive journey into one of the most provocative questions of our time: what if Hollywood hasn’t just imagined UFOs—but has been part of a deeper, decades-long conversation about them? Hosted by veteran journalist and producer Bryce Zabel and writer/producer Brent Friedman, the series is produced under the Stellar Productions banner in partnership with iHeartMedia. Each episode uses a “portal” film or television series—from classics to cult favorites—as a gateway into the real-world history, mythology, and mounting evidence surrounding UFOs and UAPs. From the 1950s to today, Sound, Light & Frequency explores the persistent—and often overlooked—connection between entertainment and the phenomenon itself.

At the heart of the show is the extraordinary backstory of Dark Skies, the cult NBC series created by Zabel and Friedman. During its production, the two were approached by a man claiming to represent Naval Intelligence—a real-life “Man in Black” encounter that still raises questions about how close Hollywood storytellers sometimes get to classified truths. That experience, combined with Bryce’s encounters with high-level insiders and celebrities during his time as a CNN correspondent and former CEO of the Television Academy, and Brent’s collection of deeply personal experiencer stories, forms the backbone of the series. The podcast also features perspectives from figures like Reagan insider John Herrington, grounding the conversation in both lived experience and professional credibility.

Sound, Light & Frequency is designed as a lifetime experience—blending entertainment, investigation, and personal revelation. Each episode not only examines a film or TV series but places it in a broader UFO historical context, asking what Hollywood knew, when it knew it, and why certain stories keep resurfacing. If you’re intrigued by the possibility that fiction may be closer to reality than we’ve been told, we invite you to explore further.

And yes, you can also tune in to hear Bryce and Brent pronounce “UFOlogical” in completely different ways.

The answer comes in the very first episode. The story begins at the NBC/Columbia premiere party for Dark Skies, the television series created by Bryce Zabel and Brent V. Friedman. What should have been a routine industry event took an unexpected turn when an unfamiliar guest introduced himself as being from the Office of Naval Intelligence.

He told us he had seen the show. He had.

He told us we got a lot of things right.

Then he did something far stranger.

That moment, and what followed, gave the series its name.

The first episode, Party Crasher, walks through the encounter in detail and explains why sound, light, and frequency became the framework for everything that followed.

Some answers come early.

Others take longer to surface.

Everything about the UFO/UAP reality issue is up for grabs. Never before has so much discussion been taking place in social media, establishment news, science, education, etc. There are  plenty of podcasts that discuss all this, and Bryce even hosts one of them, Need to Know.

Sound, Light & Frequency is not like the others. We're looking at the issue through another lens;  the POV of Hollywood. 

Bryce and Brent have their own story to tell, of course, but our podcast is about more than that. We are telling the larger story, too — the one where Hollywood, UFOs and government appear to be in some kind of Unholy Alliance to... do what exactly? That's our journey of discovery, and we invite you to join us.
