Latest Episode — December 10, 2023 (Download — Free Version): The Paracast — the “gold standard” of paranormal radio — takes you on a journey to a world beyond science, where UFOs, ghosts, Bigfoot and other strange phenomena have been reported by millions across the globe, and there are personal encounters with other realms such as NDEs. The Paracast seeks to shed light on the mysteries and complexities of our universe and the secrets that surround us in our everyday lives. The Paracast asks the questions that others are afraid to touch, and helps to expose the fakers and frauds that sometimes interfere with the serious study of the unknown.

Join long-time paranormal writer and researcher Gene Steinberg, and a team of knowledgeable guest cohosts, including Curt Collins, Tim Swartz and Bob Zanotti, as they present a panel of special guest experts and experiencers to explore the realms of the known and unknown. Listen each week to the great stories about the amazing history of the paranormal field in the 20th and 21st centuries.

When strange things occur that confound traditional scientific dogma, from strange objects speeding across our skies, to frightening creatures in remote areas of the world, and incredible reports of haunted houses, The Paracast will be there to separate the signal from the noise.

On this week’s show: Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present a thought-provoking episode featuring Richard Thieme. He is an author/professional speaker who addresses challenges posed by new technologies, how to redesign ourselves to meet these challenges, and creativity in response to radical change. His speaking addresses “the human in the machine,” technology-related security and intelligence issues as they come home to our humanity. For the past 30 years, his speaking, writing and consulting has focused on security, intelligence, IT, and empowering people who live on the sharper edges of life and work. His books include: “UFOs and Government: A Historical Inquiry” (2013). When a senior at the NSA told him, “the only way you can tell the truth is through fiction,” he heeded his advice, and four novels and dozens of stories later, he completed his magnum opus, the Mobius Trilogy: “Mobius: A Memoir,” a novel about an intelligence professional that is receiving great reviews, “The Mobius Vector: The Long Road Home,” and the third book in the trilogy, “Mobius: Out of Time.”

After The Paracast: Available exclusively to Paracast+ subscribers: Cutting-edge commentator Richard Thieme returns to talk with Gene and cohost Tim Swartz about such topics as the state of UFO research, particularly its ongoing narrative on the phenomenon. There is also talk about Thieme’s series of fiction-based books, his Mobius series, and the possibilities of remote viewing. Thieme has published hundreds of articles, three dozen stories, 13 books, and has delivered hundreds of speeches. He spoke in 2022 at Def Con for the 26th year where he was honored him as the first “uber contributor.” He has keynoted security conferences in 15 countries and clients range from GE, Microsoft, Medtronic, Bank of America, Allstate Insurance, and Johnson Controls to the NSA, FBI, U.S. Dept of the Treasury, Los Alamos Lab, the Pentagon Security Forum, and the U.S .Secret Service.

After The Paracast Special: Available exclusively to Paracast+ subscribers: Bob Zanotti, The Paracast’s staff announcer, guest cohost and a long-time student of paranormal phenomena, gives an exclusive report on his personal encounters with spiritualist minister Bill Daut, and its surprising result. He also reveals the results of a séance he had that also produced details that were amazingly accurate. Gene and cohost Tim Swartz will also talk about their encounters with psychics and psychic readings over the years. Zanotti got interested in UFOs back in the 50’s as a pre-teen. In the 1960’s he hosted a New York college radio talk show called “Coffee Klatsch,” which was devoted to the offbeat and the paranormal. After broadcast journalism studies in New York and Montreal, his calling led him to Switzerland, where he was a full-time broadcast journalist and presenter at Swiss Radio International, Switzerland’s international shortwave station. During his 32 years with SRI, Bob also produced a number of features involving the paranormal and the esoteric.
