The Malliard Report: Where the Paranormal Meets Pennsylvania Grit. episodes

  • Paranormal State of The Union
    Every year the President of The United States gives a speech on the intended
    direction of the nation and goals that are hoped to be achieved. Just as POTUS
    pontificates on the possibilities of the upcoming year, Jim Malliard muses over the
    mysterious and the direction of the unusual in his Paranormal State of The Union.
    A topic and question that is a frequently discussed on this show is the future
    of paranormal investigations. The early-mid to late 00s so the rise of paranormal
    investigations in popular culture with many shows exploding on to the scene;
    drawing huge views, fan-bases, the creation of larger than life personalities, and a
    new found infatuation with the ethereal that had not been seen since the likes of
    Victorian era parlor days. However, like most trends (like it or not, there is no
    denying that the paranormal search wave was in fact a trend) it eventually waned
    into an existence that is more hum drum now than exhilarating. Even those of us
    that have had a lifetime interest in the unknown eventually grow bored with seeing
    the same overreactions or painfully overhyped lack of evidence. (An experienced
    researcher should not have a near meltdown freak-out over every EVP and how can
    you tell me you are an expert in Sasquatch behaviors, if you cannot provide true
    physical evidence for one. Plus let’s be honest, Sasquatches like rave music and
    cookouts? Really?)
    So the question to be had is “where is the future of paranormal research
    going?” Actually, within this episode, Jim poses the question of who will be the next
    generation to take up that mantle. While there are still a very small handful of
    television shows still making the rounds on syndicated TV, there is nothing new
    coming out of these, and while they continue to churn out the same story over and
    over again, a new breed of investigator is beginning to stir things up. The future of
    investigating has seemed to shift into the field of strictly ITC. Researchers are now
    focusing less on capturing that proverbial golden egg full-bodied apparition, and
    working towards making direct contact with spirits. In addition, these researchers
    are stepping away from outdated philosophies of only high end, super expensive
    equipment should be used, and instead finding ways to utilize more obtainable, and
    often far more reasonably priced means and often achieve outstanding results. With
    modern pioneers in this field such as Josh Hope of Hope Paranormal and Steve Huff
    of Huff Paranormal breaking new headway, and not caving to commercial based
    television, it could be bold, but a possibility to say that a bright new future is on the
    horizon.
    Every year this is a great episode, and 2019 is no exception. There is much,
    much more covered than what is mentioned in the preceding notes but why should
    the whole show be spoiled within the notes here. Just give it a listen for yourself. If
    you have any ideas or thoughts to where you think the future of paranormal is
    heading, feel free to reach out to Jim and share your thoughts. Jim is found on
    Twitter @Malliard and can also be contacted through the website malliard.com
    where you can also sign up for the newsletter, listen to past shows, and so much
    more. And of course, please head over to our sponsor veriteesapparel.com and get
    yourself your very own, hilarious conspiracy themed t-shirt.

  • Lee Stranahan
    On the 25th of January, in the early pre-dawn hours, over a dozen heavily armed FBI agents stormed the home of a guest that happens to be a Malliard Report favorite. Escorted out and placed into custody in a fashion that mirrors the capture of El Chapo, long time presidential confidant Roger Stone found himself with the newest title…criminal. A situation that Roger himself said that was a long time coming, and that he knew it was inevitable, but there are a number of questions that linger with the situation: was this show of force too excessive? What does this mean for the current political climate? Is there legitimacy into the investigation or is this an ax to grind from other individuals? This week on The Malliard Report Jim welcomes back Lee Stranahan to give his expert opinion on the situation and insight for what may come in the future.

    While this event is certainly a major one in Malliard history, it is not all that is in store for this episode. In addition to Lee, Jim has the pleasure of bringing back Germantownrunner to the show.

    This is a great episode because it provides some fantastic insight into two very different topics. You can follow up with either one of the guests through their websites stranahan.com and both guests can be found on various social media outlets.

  • Live Calls

    As with the ebb and flow of the tides and the rise and setting of the sun, the news circuits go through their cyclical pattern of craziness. And along with the roundabout we go, so too does another of episode of The Malliard Report with everyone’s favorite segment; the live call show. This week Jim opens up the phones and discusses the outrage of a particular advertising campaign, tries to Beetlejuice a former guest, and once again goes deep into the shop talk of podcasting. Off the rails and always a wild card, open line episodes are a favorite for many, many reasons and this one is no exception.



    Manipulation from the media in the way we think is pretty much a universally accepted theory now. (They don’t call it television programming for no reason at all) However, some stories have a tendency to stand out more than others and such is the case from a recent advertising campaign from a particular men’s grooming line. While there are behaviors that were once “acceptable” during an era, those have long been extinct, and this recurring theme of “needing to apologize” is just ridiculous. Yes, we humans as a whole just need to figure out that positivity and respect will do wonders, but, this constant “feel bad for being who you are” needs to end.



    Another subject in a roundabout way that is discussed is the following of one’s passions. Why put blood, sweat, tears, countless hours of work, and personal frustrations into something that in some instances no one may see? Because it is something you love. It brings joy to watch something come to fruition that you have toiled so hard for. So if there is something that you have had a drive for but been hesitant to do it, stop messing around and just jump in already. It should not matter if someone will see what you do or not, if it will make you money or not. Chase after it because it satisfies your soul and for no other reason than that.



    Open phones always make for a fun episode because it is always great to hear what is on the minds of the listeners.
