• The Paracast — the Gold Standard of Paranormal Radio — is also broadcast weekly on IRN Internet Radio Network

    This Week's Episode (August 31, 2025) — Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present a long-time Paracast favorite, the inimitable Walter Bosley. He is an investigator of historical occult mysteries, author of pulp fiction novels and a screenwriter. Bosley is an inactive reserve officer in the United States Air Force for which he served as a Special Agent of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. Following his military service, he spent six years as a counter-terrorism operational consultant. He spends his time investigating historical occult mysteries as well as paranormal/UFO phenomena. In this episode, Bosley will pop into pop culture, and then deliver a reality check on the UFO field, especially after the 2017 disclosure of an alleged secret Pentagon program to purportedly investigate UAPs. He’ll also cover reports of a secret space program that has allegedly been run by the U.S. for decades. Bosley is the publisher of classic and gothic adventure, steampunk, science fiction, noir thrillers and non-fiction, and has appeared on History Channel’s Ancient Aliens and Gaia’s Beyond Belief. He was also featured in the film “ Mirage Men,” in which former government agents discussed UFO mythology as a powerful weapon of mass deception and the perfect cover for clandestine technologies and operations. His website: https://walterbosley.com

So was the Roswell legend a cover-up to hide the secrets of early efforts by the U.S. to build a space program? Other topics on the agenda include pop culture, and New York City bagels and pizzas.

General Freewheeling Chit-Chat

There are many things that fall within the field of the paranormal, and this is your place to discuss the issues that interest you. What's more, it doesn't have to be related to the paranormal. Most any subject is fair game.

Youth and UFOs

Why is it that teenagers no longer seem to get involved in looking for UFOs, as we did when we were young? Your ideas are welcomed, and we'd like to also hear from those under 21, if they're listening.
