All episodes from 2022 and later feature better audio and fewer ads: 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 Geneva, 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.

Latest Weekly Episode — We’re Back! (April 26, 2026): Gene and Geneva catch up on the ongoing UFO saga with Canada’s premier investigator Chris Rutkowski, who has been investigating UFO phenomena since the 1970s. The discussion covered Rutkowski’s research findings, including his work with the Canadian UFO Survey and his personal experiences meeting Dr. J. Allen Hynek. The conversation explored various UFO cases, including physical evidence like the Falcon Lake case from 1967, as well as more mysterious encounters involving entities and cattle mutilations. The discussion also touched on the challenges of distinguishing between physical phenomena and psychological experiences in UFO reports, and considered the possibility of extraterrestrial life while acknowledging the lack of definitive proof. He has ten published books on UFOs and related issues, including Unnatural History (1993), Abductions and Aliens (1999), A World of UFOs (2008), the children’s book I Saw It Too! (2009), The Big Book of UFOs (2010), When They Appeared (2017) (co-authored with Stan Michalak), and Canada’s UFOs: Declassified (2021) details remarkable UFO cases investigated by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Royal Canadian Air Force, and the National Research Council of Canada. His book Canada’s UFO Secrets (2026) examines how the Canadian government has viewed UAP over the decades.
