Gene and Chris present Richard Smoley, author of "Supernatural: Writings on an Unknown History." "Nostrodamus…channeling...Atlantis…divination. Most serious people consider such topics nonsense. But look again. Writing with intellectual verve and a deeply critical mind, religious thinker Richard Smoley explores and reconsiders the supernatural in history and today." Smoley is a graduate of Harvard and Oxford, and was a long-time editor of Gnosis Magazine.

Gene and Chris present noted parapolitics author Kenneth F. Thomas, publisher of Steamshovel Press, who will deliver the latest developments on the most significant conspiracies of our time, including the Kennedy Assassination, nearly 50 years after the tragic event, the possible connection with UFOs, and other mysteries.

Gene and Chris present a special roundtable discussion featuring four long-time listeners who have been active participants in our forums, known by their member names: Gordon (Goggsmackay) Dean (Pixelsmith), Jeff (Sandanfire), and Randall (Ufology). We'll focus on their views about the best/worst shows, personal paranormal experiences, and they'll even get a chance to ask us a question or two.

Gene and Chris present a special episode focusing on the subject of "cattle mutilations," which have been popularized by such investigators as Linda Moulton Howe, who have laid the blame for these mysterious livestock deaths on "aliens." But there are cases of unsolved livestock deaths that have sinister, more down-to-earth overtones. Case in point: Werner Bock and other ranchers of the Maritime Provinces of Canada. For almost 40 years, these ranchers have been victimized by what could be described as a systematic campaign of terror and death. Bock will explain his frustrating attempts over the years to understand what happened to his livestock and who caused it.

Gene and Chris present a rare interview with Raymond B. Palmer, the son of legendary UFO and occult researcher Raymond A. Palmer, the co-founder of "Fate" magazine and one of the early promoters of flying saucer research. Raymond A. also introduced the world to the Shaver mystery, about a man who claimed to have been in touch with advanced beings from beneath the Earth. Also joining us with his own perspectives will be veteran UFO researcher Tim "Mr. UFO" Beckley.

Gene and Chris present paranormal author and broadcaster Micah A. Hanks, publisher of The Gralien Report, who returns to The Paracast to discuss his new book, The UFO Singularity. Says the back cover: "The UFO Singularity finally reveals what UFO phenomena call tell us about greater-than-human intelligence, and offers provocative theories of where such intelligence might originate. You'll explore the most challenging metaphysical questions and the latest scientific thoughts about them."

Gene and Chris present a year-end retrospective with long-term researcher Don Ecker, host of the Dark Matters radio show. During this episode we'll explore not just a Don's outspoken opinions about UFO and paranormal research, but his views about pop culture as well.

Gene presents his long-time friend, veteran UFO and occult researcher T. Allen Greenfield. You'll learn how Gene and Allen developed a theory about UFOs from other dimensions, or alternate realities. We also cover Allen's ongoing research not just into UFOs and related subjects, but into the occult.
