On this, the final Paratopia podcast ever--Ever? Ever. You sure, ever? Fairly sure, ever--host Jeremy Vaeni has the perfect end cap to the entire journey. First we hear from long-time pal of The Jeff and The Jer, Tyler Kokjohn, about how best to go about researching ufology, what to expect will come of your work, and his thoughts on post-2017 ufology on the whole. Then we speak with paranormal researcher Allison Jornlin about the ins and outs of what she does, as well as some of her paranormal experiences. Finally, in a chat that will have you laughing, crying, and cheering him on, Cody Ritzmann tells us what it was like growing up Ritzmann and how he's been processing the loss of his parents.

We kick off this extra long episode with a question of synchronicities. And then we talk about the culture of dumb people inhabiting our favorite paranormal subculture. And then what? This episode is 2 1/2 hours long--surely we will talk about the most paranormal event of 2016: the rise of Donald Trump and the enigma of Bernie Sanders. And then bag on Richard Dolan for a while before dismantling the Roswell slides. I mean, why not?
