Tonight we’re going all the way back to January of 2004. This was only the third episode that I ever did and back then I was on the Live365 Radio network. At that time, it was Internet Radio, and not podcasting, that was the big thing. In fact, podcasting didn’t even exist. I didn’t have anything except for a headset microphone that I plugged directly into the 3.5mm microphone jack on the computer. I couldn&rsqu...

For decades, unidentified aerial phenomena were dismissed as misidentifications, hoaxes, or fringe speculation. Then the Department of Defense created a permanent office to study them. In this episode of ParaReality, I examine the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office — AARO — and ask the question that matters most: why does it exist? From Cold War investigations like Project Sign, Grudge, and Blue Book to modern enco...

Wow! Here it is, the very first episode of ParaReality that I ever did. I had just signed up for a Live365 account and all I had was a headset microphone and an idea. I also had no clue what I was doing! I think that the first version of ParaReality Radio was a unique one. It combined stories of the paranormal with a nice dose of rock music, ending with one of the most popular segments that I ever did - News of the Strange. Back...
