This was one of my favorite shows in a long time. I thought that the guest was well-spoken and very sensible. I like it that guests with a wide range of theories and opinions are welcome on the Paracast show.

Really good show. Congratulations for getting such a good guest and for asking good questions.

I think that you made a fair criticism of my statement. I will try to be more accurate. Of the people who believe or suspect that 9-11 was an inside job, many of them tend to have what I would define as an anti-American worldview. This worldview sees the USA as a nation that owes its wealth and...

I like conspiracy theories and I do not attack someone because they are a long-time conspiracy theorist. But I think there is a danger in connecting the dots between people and events and then claiming that there must be some sort of meaningful cause and effect connection as a result. What is...

It was still an interesting show, but perhaps not for the reasons that you expected before you booked him. It was more about Werner Boch and his personality and issues than it was about paranormal phenomena.

I didn't really like that guest either. His conspiracy theories all seemed pretty half-baked and the connections that he threw out there between individuals and TV shows or whatever didn't really go anywhere and were not supported by any further evidence. He didn't seem very credible or...

Gene, a lot of paranoid people hold anti-Jewish beliefs. I was already getting a vibe from him while listening to the show that he was probably going to be anti-semitic. He also believed that his Canadian neighbors and the Canadian government were conspiring against him. For people suffering...

It was suggested on the Forum a few years ago to consider Kripal as a guest for The Paracast. I think that he would make a good guest and I think that the subjects that he would address would be very interesting. What do you think? Jeff Kripal at TEDxHouston 2012 RESONATE

I appreciate your posts and I tend to agree with you on the subject, and I think that all participation in this Forum is a good thing, so long as we are all friendly and respectful even when we have sharp disagreements. But my hope is that we will not let any one topic dominate the discussion to...

Thank you and thanks to the other forum members who participated in the Roundtable. One of the most fascinating things to me about the Roundtable discussion was the personal testimony concerning unexplained sightings and experiences. I look forward to the next Roundtable and I hope that Mike...

I like this blog: Climate Skeptic I also listen to James Delingpole, who has a podcast at Ricochet.com, and a column in the Daily Telegraph: James Delingpole - Official Website But I don't really consider myself to be extremely well-informed on the subject. I am very alarmed by the scientific...

I'm not saying that we can't discuss it, but I think that it might not be bad to accept with a generous spirit the reasons that others on this board might give as to why they do not want to engage on this issue.

That might be a bit harsh. Debating the science of climate change is very difficult because you would need persons from both sides to be well-educated on a controversial and complex subject. I think that on a friendly forum such as this, we might want to take ProphetofOccam at his word as to why...

No problem. Climate change is not my favorite subject, but I don't mind reading about it here. I am skeptical of the scientific claims that AGW is proven to be a result of human activity, and I am suspicious of the motives of the people who want massive government intervention that would...

The issue of climate change was discussed on the show, so I don't know why anyone would find it objectionable to talk about it here as long as one issue does not monopolize the discussion. I have strong opinions on certain issues, and the best way to understand an issue is to learn the best...
