Yep, if we dismissed everything in the UFO/paranormal field that didn't have extremely strong evidence, we wouldn't have that much to talk about. If my friend came to me and started telling me he saw a giant black triangle hover over his house yesterday, I'm not going to cut him off and tell...

I think it is useful to collect accounts like Rosales is. I don't thing everybody has to work the "proving/disproving stuff" angle. What Rosales is doing is useful because a) it gives investigators who want to look into fewer cases more deeply some depths to plumb b) the accounts might...

I don't really get your this. I mean, just because something doesn't have ten eye-witnesses and hi-def video doesn't mean it just "entertainment". Some events are very well documented, some only somewhat so, others are just anecdotal, and still others are probable hoaxes. Even if something is...

I don't know; I think there's room for more than one approach. We can have "wheat/chaff" folks only perusing the really compelling stuff, and also "archivist" types who focus on just amassing a lot of different accounts. Roasles doesn't seem to have an "OMG look at all these true stories wow can...

That would be hard, as the Paracast doesn't have much noise at all, because the Paracast is such a great, clear-sounding, professionally-done show. (See what I did there? ;)) Anyhow, I know you know broadcast editing, so I will take your informed opinion into account. (And let Emma/Jacobs drop...

The background noise is partly why I feel it wasn't tampered with. Splicing noise is still splicing, and should leave signs in the noise itself. (Unless you do some kind of crazy cross fading I guess) For what it's worth I'm coming at this as a musician who has a lot of experience with digital...

With audio such as that in question, my non-expert opinion (and that of others who know more about audio than me) is that such tampering (other than removal of people's names and personal information which Emma admits to doing), would definitely leave tell-tale signs, signs which are not...

Sorry, I think that's unfair. When somebody like Emma goes to a therapist seeking help because she's having disturbing, unexplained experiences, and that therapist directs them to somebody purporting to be an expert in the field qualified to help people who feel they're having such...

I want to preface this by saying I am a big fan of your work and have a whole lot of respect for you (and actually I'm reading "Mysterious Valley" right now and really fascinated)... but... I do have to say I was kind of troubled by some of your comments at the start of the podcast and also in...

To be clear: I'm not an "EVP guy", or whatever; I never really even think about stuff like that when listening to anything. But the first time I listened to the show, it totally startled me, because it sounded like a weirdly-intonated. "Uh-huh". But it's clear, on repeated listening it's not a...

Hey, this is going off on a somewhat weird tangent, but... I would REALLY be interested to hear some thoughts from anyone here who wants to go back and listen carefully, with headphones, to the show at about 54:10, right after David says "He was a PR guy, right?" I don't want to taint things...

I suspect many, if not most, of those here being wholly dismissive of the phenomenon- and/or the idea of Colin Andrews as a guest- have never heard the man speak.

Well, now I really can't argue with you. Dammit. :mad: :D

I can't dispute the majority of your post, but I have to argue against insinuation that having kids is somehow a more selfless choice. People have kids for exactly the same reason they don't have kids. It's what they want to do to be happy. Procreation isn't an act of charity, it's fulfilling...

There are some wonderful ladies out there who have no desire to have kids. I was doubtful I'd ever marry... but the woman I'm engaged to changed everything. We're not doing it because it's the "next step", or because it's expected, but because we feel like we're perfect partners, and we may as...

I think some may feel threatened/jealous, since you seem happy with your decision. Maybe they're not. (It's not like people get to say "I really regret having kids", even if they do) Also, it's- unfortunately- human nature to pick on the "different one." All anyone here is saying in that...

Well, it's quite clear there's isn't any shortage. Which is why nobody should feel bad about not adding more. Hubris has nothing to do with it. *shrug*

Having a black lab, on the other hand.. ;)

When the day comes that we're threatened as a species by reproducing too little, rather than too much, I suppose I see the appeal of this argument more. Why should I care? I believe we will all be part of the future, whether or not we reproduce. In any event, I don't assume my genes are...

My entire, name, counting my middle name, is going to be 26 characters. :D I figured what the hell, you only live once, and as it stands my full name is 21 already.
