The Malliard Report: Where the Paranormal Meets Pennsylvania Grit.

While Jim Malliard is the face (the voice?), lead researcher, booker and scout, web developer, marketing strategist, merchandise design, and countless other roles, he does also have a small team that…well, really doesn’t do much more than send nonsensical texts, and call in and harass him during live call shows. This week Jim begrudgingly welcomes one of these individuals to the show to discuss a smattering of random topics. This week Jim features Christopher Olson to the show.

Chris…me…the person writing this right now…has been a part of the show for a number of years now. Forget the fourth wall for a bit. I’m just going to write to you dear reader and listener as if we were sitting across from each other over a cup of coffee. As many of you know, I help Jim with the show notes and some behind the scenes producer stuff. I’ve had the pleasure of calling Jim a friend for quite some time. I love the paranormal, conspiracies, music, food, and coffee. I’ve been a musician for a majority of my life, enjoy conducting ITC sessions at known paranormal locations, shooting pictures of my surroundings and everyday life, and yelling at my tv at choking sports teams.

If you find yourself at all interested in my ventures, feel free to check them out. You can find my music on all platforms (Spotify/Apple/etc.) under the name inheritance. If you want to check out some of my ITC session, stop by my YouTube channel here: www.youtube.com/channel/UC_6_uZuFB2AbkA0o8HjBaSQ or just follow me on Instagram @cristoforo_son_of_ol .

No matter what your take on the events that surround the whole covid situation, the one thing that everyone can agree on is that the landscape has drastically changed. For months we were forced into isolation with nothing more than a digital outreach to everyone around us. To say that it has altered a major component of our psyche would be a gross understatement. This week on The Malliard Report Jim welcomes back a fan favorite and show regular to discuss the new wave of upcoming “sociopaths.” This week features the one and only Rebecca Housel.

“Rebecca Housel, Ph.D., known as The Pop Culture Professor, is an international best-selling author and editor in nine languages and 100 countries. Rebecca, listed in the Directory of American Poets & Writers for her work in nonfiction, was nominated by Prevention magazine essayist and best-selling author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Rebecca Skloot, to the National Association of Science Writers for her work on cancer. Rebecca has published with best-selling author of The Accidental Buddhist, Dinty Moore’s literary nonfiction journal, Brevity, and with commercial publications like Redbook magazine and online journals like In Media Res. Her recent interviews appear in publications such as the LA Times, Esquire, USA TODAY, The Huffington Post, Inside Higher Ed, Woman’s World magazine, and Marie Claire as well as on FOX news, and NBC Dr. Housel currently works on the Editorial Advisory Boards for the Journal of Popular Culture and the Journal of American Culture; she has also worked as a reviewer for Syracuse University Press and Thomson Wadsworth. A writer of all genres, Housel has written and published both fiction and nonfiction in over ten books and 398 articles, essays, book chapters, book reviews, and encyclopedia entries.”

Dr. Housel stresses the importance of mental health and that we all should be aware for ourselves and those around us. We cannot express enough that you should never feel embarrassed or that you can’t reach out for help. There are always resources available and many people willing to provide them. You can keep up with all of Dr. Housel’s work at rebeccahousel.com or through most social media platforms. For all things Malliard, head over to malliard.com to catch up on past shows, sign up for the newsletter and so much more. You can also follow through all social media platforms.

It is a process that we have all encountered. You go to the doctor (which is already a pain in the butt to get into) go through whatever exam you have lined up, the doctor scribbles some illegible gibberish on a piece of paper and sends you to your local pharmacy. You know it will take a little bit of time, and your stomach is doing most of the talking right now, so you decide to grab a bite on the way over to the pharmacy. You grub your burger, pull into your local WalAideRiteGreens, meander to the back and queue up in the line. You finally get to the window, only to find out that your prescription isn’t ready yet. “HOW HARD CAN IT BE!? Just take the pills from the container, and put them in the bottle for me” you scream inside of your head. But, there is much more to it than just that. This week’s guest on The Malliard Report is here to dispel all the misconceptions of life in a pharmacy, discuss specialty medications, the opioid crisis, and much more. This week Jim welcomes Pharmacist and podcaster Todd Eury to the show.

“Pittsburgh native Todd Eury from Brownsville, Pennsylvania, started the first podcast about the profession of Pharmacy in 2009, and today, it’s the global leader in podcasting about the business and profession of the pharmacist. Todd Eury started the Pharmacy Podcast Network in March of 2009. Todd is the CEO of the Pharmacy Publishing Network, the parent publication of the Pharmacy Podcast Network. With the editorial, C.E. education support, and evidence-based podcasting divisions, Eury directs the leading audio publication in the Pharmacy Industry.”

Todd is an excellent guest and does a great job at peeling the curtain back to what happens behind the scenes in the local pharmaceutical world. Todd’s take on certain issues in today’s time is certainly one worth noting. If you want to check out Todd’s podcast make sure to stop by pharmacypodcast.com where you can also join the “U.S. Pharmy.” For all things Malliard, head over to malliard.com where you can catch past shows, merch, the newsletter, and the weekly live chat every Tuesday at 9 PM EST.

Come one, come all, this week is an exciting one because we have live calls. Always a fan favorite, live calls always offer an ever changing buffet of topics, and this week certainly does not disappoint. Kicking off right out of the gate we disgust a topic that seems to be in and out of headlines regularly for the last couple of years. UFOs and the military have always had a sort of peanut butter and jelly type relationship, but lately it feels like every news story involving unidentified craft is somehow tied to the Navy. From the declassified footage of the F/A-18s tracking one over the ocean at incredibly high speeds (one thing that should be pointed out here that is not discussed at all, is the amazing show of skill that either the Weapons Systems Officer (WSO) or Pilot exhibited at tracking the object with the targeting pod. That certainly is no easy task, especially considering the high speeds it was alleged to be moving at. Let’s hear a round of applause for that) to new recent allegations of sailors being forced to sign NDAs after witnessing numerous craft over their ship. The Navy seems to be in the forefront of sightings and encounters. Why is that?

Live calls always make for great content, but listening to them in real time, or after is only half the fun. Join in on the weekly discussions yourself every Tuesday at 9 p.m. EST in the Duck Pond chat over at malliard.com where you can also catch other past episodes, merch store, and much more.

Dealing with the passing of a loved one is one of those unfortunate occurrences that we all must face. Even more intimidating is the notion of having all our affairs in order when our time comes. Macabre? Yes, but statistically speaking you are one hundred percent likely to die. Now when that time comes, in addition to the grief that we have to go through, there is often the headache of dealing with estates, wills, financial holding transfers, the list goes on. Unless you are an expert and many different fields, navigating those tumultuous waters can be an incredibly daunting task. This week on The Malliard Report Jim welcomes a guest that deals specifically with this field and has made it his goal to try and make the process as easy as possible. This week Jim welcomes Robert (Bob) Kabacy to the show to discuss the many intricacies of being an estate lawyer, the beautiful Oregon coast, and about his time on stage with David Copperfield.
“Robert Kabacy has been a lawyer in the estate planning and wealth transfer industries for more than twenty-five years. He grew up in the small town of Canby, Oregon, where he was a competitive swimmer. He attended law school to pursue his passion of helping others navigate a complicated legal and tax world and has an uncanny ability to explain complicated concepts in an easy to understand format. About Me is a result of the passing of his mother and experiencing firsthand the difficulty of losing a loved one while navigating the mechanics that go with it. He enjoys reading, stage/parlor magic, and outdoor activities. He still swims almost daily (though no longer competitively).”
While one may not think of estate planning as the most exciting subject to talk about (thinking about our mortality is always a bit of a downer at times) Robert is a fantastic guest, and really explains how a very complicated event can be easily managed with the least amount of proverbial headache. If you are looking for one of the best estate planners in the game, you can reach out to Robert through his practice’s website kelrun.com. You can find his book on most online retailers.

After all these years, we’ve gotten to know the voice of the great Jim Malliard quite well. We know his foray into the paranormal. Struggles and achievements in the world of maintaining a podcast for more than a decade (and the strange cast of characters he keeps around to help with it), and even some of his interests and hobbies outside of life behind the mic, but very, very rarely does the curtain blow enough in the ethereal breeze that we get a true peek into the world of the “duck master” himself. This week, the breeze of destiny just so happens to be working in our favor with Jim’s featured guest, and that curtain is blown wide open. This week Jim welcomes his better half, the one and only, Tabby (Mrs. Duck Master) Malliard.

It has been eight long years since we have had the absolute privilege to have Tabby on the show, and this week we finally break that much too long absence. Tabby joins Jim to share some insight into what a day in the life looks like. From overcoming some serious health challenges, taking on a menagerie of pets, to even just the chaotic day to day life that comes with having kids, we get to hear about it all. Tabby has a truly fascinating story to tell, especially about when her and Jim first got together. (Imagine going on your first date with someone to only have to tell them in a few days you have to undergo a life altering surgery) This is fantastic episode and a privilege to be able to have Tabby on.

In the summer of 2005, news headlines were dominated with the death of Pope John Paull II, Tony Blair winning a third term and the very strange case of Natalee Holloway. (So strange in fact, that a Malliard Report known Irish podcast featured an episode on it) Natalee went missing in Aruba after a high-school graduation trip, under very peculiar circumstances and her case was eventually closed in 2012 with no “official” explanation. The case has garnered the attention of many different true crime outlets, investigators, and today’s guest. This week Jim welcomes to the show psychic profiler and medium Carla Baron to the show.
“Carla became known throughout the globe for her real-life portrayal of a psychic crime fighter, starring in the hit TruTV (formally Court TV) series, “Haunting Evidence,” now in worldwide syndication. Ms. Baron appeared on several episodes of Biography’s “Dead Famous.” Her work as a psychic profiler was highlighted on ABC’s “Primetime,” and 20/20 for WE. MTV’s FEAR was Carla’s premiere foray into the paranormal, traveling all over the world on location, filming their documentary segments as official psychic for the haunting reality series. Today, Carla continues to work on cases that strike some sort of personal chord for her. Ms. Baron offers her assistance (pro bono) when accepting missing persons/ murder/ crime cases on an official basis.”
Carla is an exciting guest and certainly will be welcomed back so as to share the many experiences and insight that she has. To follow Carla or to reach out to her for your own session, head over to her website carlabaron.net. Remember that listening to The Malliard report is only a small portion of what is available.

The news is a vicious thing. Whether we get it from the television, various internet locations, doom scrolling on our phone, and even bombarded while we run about our daily errands (nothing like trying to get your morning workout in or stand in line for the pharmacy while being inundated with some form of media deluge) there are times where it feels like we can’t escape it. What doesn’t help is that it seems like everything that is happening is headline worthy, and takes over everything. It is easy to escape into our own head and start to feel crazy or become so rooted in our own ideals that we forget that there are other people that may feel the same, completely disagree, or just be apathetic to it all. This is where conversation with those around us is important. See the other sides, hear where we may be right, or just learn to not care at all. This week on The Malliard Report we get to do just that.This week it is live calls, and with everything going on, there certainly is no shortage of material to cover. A leader that seems to continually slip more and more into a cognitive failure, gas prices that make beer prices at a baseball game look like an outright bargain, and a youth that has absolutely no clue what is happening outside of their own digital world. Yes this is said with every generation, but there is something about the here and now that seems exceptionally alarming. So let’s jump in, let’s talk, and maybe let’s hope for a brighter future.Keep up with the latest and greatest with The Malliard Report over at malliard.com.
