Hey, I was pissed off when somebody wrote a book called Lapsed Agnostic, as that's what I'd been calling myself for years!

Oh, and tyder -- I haven't read the Kean book myself (though I will). It was listed as a nod to what is current and what I think is important to the field. I don't expect to get all that much out of the book myself, but that doesn't make its value to the greater populace any smaller. From what...

Perfect, absolutely. I like Sagan -- Pale Blue Dot was great, too. Everybody interested in the subject should read on both 'sides.' I'm somewhere in the middle myself. I'm convinced there is phenomena unexplained and possibly unexplainable, but I sure as hell don't claim to know what it (they)...

What books you guys suggest here as essential for a Fortean Library? I'll start with the following classics: General Forteana: The Complete Books of Charles Fort Mothman Prophesies, Our Haunted Planet, Operation Trojan Horse by John Keel Handbook of Unusual Natural Phenomena by William Corliss...

I don't think it ever had a proper ending, but I think that's just fine since any time there is an 'ending' to these shows, it sucks. Except for The Sopranos (which I didn't watch, but I almost want to just to get to the ending). Wait, I think "Space: Above & Beyond" had a great ending...

Only managed to listen to it today, but it was an entertaining, wide-ranging listen. Good questions, Gene in particular took the lead interviewing and it's always nice to hear his endearingly incredulous but always smart and interested take on things (not sure that makes sense, but his tone is...

Am I right people? Nick's new book is out and it looks like another winner. Ok, so it's his 148th book and number 27 this year, but I've never even heard of "the Collins Elite."

Wonderful, eager to hear it. Thanks as always for the hard work you guys put into this. Much appreciated.

I'd be interested to hear whether the Zuni have any legends about Bigfoot, or "the hairy man" of Yokuts of California. Bigfoot Information Project: Mayak datat - An Archaeological Viewpoint of the Hairy Man Pictographs

A good article on the topic, recently covered on Boing Boing: Boing Boing Coverage Full Article in Minnesota Monthly

Whaddya mean, pixie-lation and disco-low-ration? That's the AURA of the craft, obviously!

Jane Goodall thinks it's a subject worthy of some attention, and there are some damn big inaccessible forest areas up in Pacific Northwest. Even if 99% of the reports are fake, wishful thinking, attention seeking, hoaxes, or otherwise perpetrated by inexperienced observers or idiots, I don't...

I would "want" them to, if only for having some clout and respectability, and making the subject more acceptable. I think this process can be likened to the slow acceptance of medicinal value of cannabis after years of ridicule, disinformation and lies perpetrated by the big pharma. With ufos...

Thanks for this smart and informative show. I have low hopes that the government will do anything to acknowledge the subject officially, as it is still a political suicide. I think there may be actual interest and support on both sides of the aisle for something like this, but it's a long way...

Speaking of the Nazi Space theme..... http://www.ironsky.net/ I canNOT wait.

The episode started a bit slow, and Lear sounded very guarded (probably thought he'd get slapped across the airwaves), but as the second hour kicked in, he was relaxed, terribly entertaining, deluded in such a sincere manner that I couldn't help but wonder whether there IS a secret...

Thanks, Monsieur Ecker. They should give Larry King's job to you. I don't always agree with you, but you have a clear point of view, you can take a bit of bullshit, keep on smiling AND follow up with good questions. You're a ton of fun to listen to, and your guests are top notch. I don't care if...

Thanks NTS, much as I enjoy Radio Misterioso (recent John Shirley ep was terrific, despite some phone issues... at least no cockroach problems in the studio), I have not heard that episode. Downloading it now. Keel (from my distant p.o.v.) was more of a thinker, doer and a showman than he...

This is a no-brainer, and would provide for an entertaining couple of hours. Man is a legend, a raconteur, an explorer, and could easily fill up a few shows with worthy, intelligent, entertaining banter. His organization, Centre of Fortean Zoology: http://www.cfz.org.uk/ His blog...

WIth thanks to skunkape, I rec'd the file and enjoyed it. It's a bit clumsy, performance-wise, but it has a Jandek-like savant edge to it and is worth listening to... certainly if you like oddball, obscuro and otherwise art-damaged music. I've uploaded the file to yousendit, and it is...
