This is Part One of a two part conversation (interview) with Vicki Talbott who lost her son Braden in a kayaking accident, along with his friend Jim in 2000. She began hearing from him on her answering machine and later through digital recorders; this method of communication is called Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP). We discuss when she first heard Braden's voice, and Jim’s (whose mother is Mary Jo and is a great support to Vicki), the history of EVP, and how pets can come through this mode of communication as well.
