Gaz is BACK with a very special bonus episode of the podcast!

Joined this week by special guest and former captain of the Indianapolis Police Department/accomplished author, Robert L Snow.

Bob chats to Gaz about the TRUE STORY behind his fascinating book "Portrait of a Past-Life Skeptic: The True Story of A Police Detective's Reincarnation".

"An offhand dare to undergo a past-life regression sets police captain Robert Snow on a two-year investigation that shakes the foundation of his world, radically changing his views on life, death, and the scope of reality. A hard-nosed police detective, Robert Snow was devoted to evidence and hard facts-he had never given any thought to reincarnation. But during his hypnotic regression, he experiences a vivid awareness of being alive in three separate historical scenes. Remaining skeptical, Snow begins to investigate with the intention of disproving reincarnation. Instead, diligent research and corroboration from multiple sources reveal solid evidence that he lived a former life as Carroll Beckwith, a nineteenth-century British artist. Portrait of a Past Life Skeptic tells the fascinating story of Robert Snow's transformation from skeptic to believer"

Enjoy!
