The Paracast -- The Gold Standard of Paranormal Radio

Gene and Chris present long-time UFO authority and book author Timothy Good, who expresses his "meta" viewpoint on the extent and scope of the UFO mystery. Good also recounts experiences he's had over the years that may involve meetings with extraterrestrials, along with some of the curious and perhaps frightening results of his decades of intriguing research featured in his many best-selling books. One subject he'll focus on is the possibility that some UFOs are piloted by hostile alien beings who have long-range plans to take over our planet.

Gene and Chris present long-time paranormal researcher David M. Rountree, who focuses his studies on the scientific aspects of the paranormal and has been heavily involved in EVP research and other areas where you can actually measure things in and around possible hauntings and other mysterious phenomena. According to his biography, his EVP and EMF work "has led him to develop a wormhole hypothesis associated with a paranormal event horizon."

Gene and Chris present the return of independent researcher Thomas P. Fusco. Fusco has devoted some three decades investigating the relationship between mind, physics, spirituality, parapsychology, scientific anomalies and paranormal phenomena with the goal of uncovering the unifying cosmological framework that has eluded mankind for generations.

Gene and Chris introduce crop circle artist and UFO researcher Matthew Williams. Yes, he is responsible for some of those crop circles. According to his bio: "Former British Government Customs & Excise officer, Matthew Williams, had his first UFO experience in 1991. This led him to become a well known UK UFO investigator. After investigating the crop circle subject, he decided to try making some circles to test if researchers would know they were man-made. The rest is history as eventually Matthew became the only person to ever be arrested for making a crop circle."

Brad was, in fact, on the very first episode in The Paracast in February of 2006 and remains one of our most fascinating guests.
