Gene and cohost Tim Swartz explore the fascinating world of UFO culture with historian Greg Eghigian, author of “After the Flying Saucers Came: A Global History of the UFO Phenomenon.” The book is the result of researching the history of the global fascination with unidentified flying objects and aliens (a fascination for him since childhood). In this discussion, the Hollywood connection to the UFO mystery is explored. And, by the way, Gene is mentioned as one of the book’s sources. Eghigian’s next book project will examine the controversy surrounding the alien abduction phenomenon. In his “civilian life,” he is a Professor of History and Bioethics at Penn State University (USA). He is a historian of science and medicine, specializing in studying the ways in which society thinks about and treats people, ideas, and behaviors it considers to be odd or dangerous.

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present the odyssey of Joel Stern, someone who found himself in the paranormal field. So he was a staff translator and reviewer in the Office of Language Services at the U.S. State Department in Washington, DC, for 28 years. In 1988, he learned of an amazing poltergeist events that occurred in southern Poland. The incredible ghostly phenomena was centered around a teenage girl named Joasia Gajewski and eventually become national news in Poland. What makes the Gajewski case groundbreaking is that it continued for some seven years with such consistent energy that scientists were able to study it. The original version of book chronicling the cases,”The Elusive Force,” was written in Polish. Stern translated the book into English, then spent decades attempting to get the book published, which finally occurred in 2023. He also visited Joasia and her family during the process and has important insights into the people and their circumstances around this groundbreaking case.

A real classic: Gene Steinberg and Chris O'Brien present former pro-wrestler and Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura, a conspiracy theorist and author of “63 Documents the Government Doesn’t Want You to Read,” who talks about the Kennedy assassination and other intriguing conspiracies in modern history. This is a wide-ranging politically incorrect discussion where Ventura got so involved in what he was saying that he stayed for the full episode, rather than half an episode as he originally planned.

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present the return of paranormal blogger Red Pill Junkie. The mysterious RPJ (Miguel Romero) is an artist, writer and frequent guest on podcasts like "Where Did the Road Go?," "Radio Misterioso." and of course "The Paracast." He also collaborates on pages like "The Daily Grail." On the agenda is a close look at UFO abductions and folklore, and the possibilities for disclosure. Agnostic Gnostic, walking conundrum & metaphysical oxymoron (with emphasis in the "moron" part), RPJ says that he lives a double life: By day he serves as Grand Master of the International Sacred Order of Lucha Libre, but at night he impatiently awaits for the return of the mothership in Mexico City as well as pursuing his life-long study of everything considered mysterious and/or "paranormal," a term he personally detests. RPJ is also a gifted artist, and his work has been used in a variety of ways, such as book covers, and, of course, some of our cartoon caricatures for The Paracast. His website is: absurdbydesign.com.
