Some interesting nuggets. David talking with Bassett and coming away dare I say sounding 'sympathetic?'. Very interesting. While IMO Steve is in no way a fraud with financial motivations (I think his intentions are mostly legit), I do think he is misguided, stubborn, overgeneralizes and...

This feels like AA :) I'm 31, grew up, live and work in the DC area, have a normal office day job but also play in a band and am married. Since I was born I was fascinated with the larger picture and paranormal, which I"m starting realize is not the norm as I thought it was :) I try and...

I might add, that Mothra's picture of a cat throwing up is pretty funny!

I don't know very much about Randi but............. I get the major impression Randi is a fundamentalist debunker, it doesn't matter what you do he's not gonna admit it's real even if monkeys literally flew out of your butt. For him to write Arigo off as a fraud or to think the data Schwartz...

I thought of it as Mike Myers attempt at creating a caricature of a character you'd find in dungeons and dragons/middle earth/ice age etc.... In one episode his friend asks him something along the lines of, "Lothar how long has it been since you have 'walked with a woman'." Meaning when was the...

You guys remember Lothar of the Hill People from SnL, what a great skit! Too bad Lorne Michaels trolls youtube to take down SnL stuff or I would post a link!

I finished reading Schwartz book that I bought and the data I find quite compelling to support the effectiveness of mediums. Just IMO I also found the data to provide evidence that an afterlife exists which is something I've always thought anyway so it just reinforced that belief. I don't...

I just turned 31 this week, I wish you had asked that question last week :)

Wow, that's a crazy video! Schwartz discusses Randi in the book. He says many people are raised to believe certain things and it doesn't matter what you show them they are gonna stick to those beliefs even if the data shows they are wrong. In the same chapter as Randi he talks about a friend...

Nice! That cat is an 'Indie Rock' piano player :)

Hypothetical: If John McCaine appointed Yahweh (UFO prophet extriodinare) instead of Sarah Palin as VP and on the day that Yahweh had predicted a UFO came down the day before the election, would McCaine win the election? :) Why does this balloon hoaxster have to use the name of the Old...

I bought Schwartz book 'The Afterlife Experiments', and have read about 50% of the book. Some interesting stuff, although I must say the tone of the book is not objective despite his claims. He frequently writes that his opinion is that of a scientist, he doesn't know the answer, and further...

I heard one of these UFO predictors was an adviser to the McCain campaign, is that true? :)

Strangely, I usually go to accupunture for my allergies and it can be effective, although it is by no means a permanent fix.

I still think it's very surprising that someone came up with the theory behind chinese medicine. I am not trained in this field, I have not read the history of it, but I have been going to a chinese medicine/acupunturist for several years. I think the fact that someone came up with an entire...

FYI - I'd love to hear Gary again on a future episode for sure.

Still got 30 mins to go but so far great show. The feedback loop memory is interesting and makes a lot of sense, and not only in terms of the paranormal, but really in everything. Everything is constantly taking in info and then reacting to that info based in part of a long history of...

Yes indeed. just do a quick word search for Arigo on the homepage and you'll see which episode it is. The greatest value the Paracast has provided me is to introduce me to the story of Arigo. I would also add that if you are interested in the paranormal one of the best things you can do is...

Ally I know where your coming from (not Clarion!), it can be really hard to understand any sarcasm/tone when people send emails or write posts. I see it all the time at work where someone will ask, "Can you read this email for me and tell me what you think, is it just me or is this person...

Interesting, good point. Spending a lot of time reading about and discussing paranormal stuff is kind of a luxury afforded by those who don't have to worry about where their next meal or home is going to be.
