Latest Episode — September 17, 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 guest cohost Curt Collins present clinical psychologist Dr. Tim Brigham, a long-time explorer of UFO lore. He is a contributing member of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU) and has presented to the Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE). He grew up in Gulf Breeze, FL during a major wave of UFO sightings, which began his lifelong interest in the phenomenon. He now works as an educator in the biomedical industry. Brigham became close friends with legendary flying saucer writer and gonzo journalist James W. (Jim) Moseley. Jim was a fixture in the saucer scene nearly since it began, as editor of Saucer News magazine; in later years it morphed into Saucer Smear and was the longest running saucer zine in the known universe, known for its ironic and gonzo approach. Dr. Brigham was appointed Contributing Editor in Smear’s final years. In his lecture titled “UFOs as Agents of Psychic Transformation,” he discusses the fact that witnesses often report long term, life altering effects of UFO encounters, yet relatively little attention from social scientists has been paid to the experiential and transformative nature of such experiences and their direct impact on human consciousness.

After The Paracast: Available exclusively to Paracast+ subscribers: Clinical psychologist Dr. Tim Brigham, a long-time explorer of UFO lore, returns to talk with Gene and guest cohost Curt Collins about a variety of topics. There’s a focus on politicians who are interested in UFOs, the limits of human perception, the cultural influences behind he phenomenon, and the serious flaws in using hypnotic regression to recover lost memories of sightings and abductions. Brigham became close friends with legendary flying saucer writer and gonzo journalist James W. (Jim) Moseley. Jim was a fixture in the saucer scene nearly since it began, as editor of Saucer News magazine; in later years it morphed into Saucer Smear and was the longest running saucer zine in the known universe, known for its ironic and gonzo approach. Dr. Brigham was appointed Contributing Editor in Smear’s final years. In his lecture titled “UFOs as Agents of Psychic Transformation,” he discusses the fact that witnesses often report long term, life altering effects from UFO encounters.
