HAUNTED HIGHWAYS & BACKROAD BEASTS!  Keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel...and DO NOT take a seat in that couch on the side of road!  We had a blast diving into this creepily fascinating topic...You'd think something called a "Melon Head" wouldn't be so terrifying....

Our PARANORMAL "YEAR IN REVIEW...." Of sorts, ha!  Such a fun time with this one...As 2020 comes to a close (Finally!), we dive into some paranormal, ALIEN & mysterious "happenings" that occurred across the world (and universe)...Not any terribly DEEP dives, but dives nonetheless!  We'd be remiss if there wasn't any MANDALORIAN talk (spoiler-filled), any discussion of the 47th anniversary of "THE EXORCIST," any levity based discussion about Mike's bladder, and so much more! lol DO NOT MISS IT! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! 

So much fun with this one!  A HORROR-FEST, for certain, but FUN & CAMPY..."CREEPSHOW," for example....I mean, c'mon! MEMORIES, REACTIONS, a ton of hilarious banter, personal stories and "HORROR-centric" commentary...Do not miss this! 

Wow, this is a "DO NOT MISS" episode, for lack of a better term (or phrase)....What are your thoughts on LEGENDARY CRYPTID, American "BIGFOOT-ESQUE beasts?" What is out there? "The Legend of Boggy Creek," The Rougarou, the Skunk Ape...etc....Some creepy audio may sway your opinion...At the very least, human nature to flock toward such "legends" is telling.... Of course, levity abounds, as it just wouldn't be us, if it didn't. :-) 

Who doesn't love the BACK TO THE FUTURE trilogy??  Who, when taking a moment to think about it, isn't thoroughly confused about the TIME TRAVEL PARADOXES that are presented in this story?  It's all in GOOD FUN, of course, as we take a dive into the CONUNDRUM of MULTIVERSES, ALTERNATE TIMELINES and all things DOC BROWN, MARTY MCFLY and TIME TRAVELING in a damn DELOREAN...An infinite amount of BIFFS??  ;-) 

Our intrepid "Mr. Show" is back, and firing on all cylinders as we dive into the seemingly irrational and illogical nature of SUPERSTITIONS and CURSES...Is there something more to this than the PSYCHOLOGICAL, however?  Laughs and serious discussion as we take a deep dive into the potential MYSTICAL and PARANORMAL basis behind these "beliefs."  Don't miss it!

Dustin Pari returns to complete our own, personal interview Trilogy!  Looking forward to our equivalent of "Rocky 4" when Dustin returns! Such a wonderful man...We had a blast chatting with "GHOST HUNTERS" star, MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER, AUTHOR and PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR, Mr. DUSTIN PARI!  As Dustin himself proclaimed, he loves coming back to "The Alternate Route Podcast" for a potpourri of nonsensical and positive fun!  This episode doesn't disappoint...The conversation runs the gamut from "THE MANDALORIAN" to all things paranormal to the good ol' days of WWF WRESTLING! Again, we are always honored to speak with Dustin, and we look forward to our next chat...Don't miss this one!
