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’t afford anything else...

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 encounters like ...

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...
