An "interview" with Mel would not be very productive, as he knows little about any of these topics, and is really just another "host". I've listened to just a tiny bit of his show, and I think it's painful. But thanks for the suggestion!

Hello David,
Indeed, it would not be very productive. Actually, it would not be productive at all, since there is nothing that I can bring to your audience. You see, asking questions is what I do. I'm more interested in learning from my guests than my audience learning from me or claiming to be an expert on X, Y, Z. I'm not interesting in shining the light on me.
People who tune in to my show tune in to listen to my guests, not to me. And let's get something clear. Veritas is not a paranormal show. Yes, among all the topics, the paranormal is simply one of them.
I'm sorry you feel that listening to me is painful. However, I'm glad the feeling is mutual. Not only is it painful to listen to you sometimes, it is excruciating. And of course, since it's our choice to listen or not, I chose not to continue enduring the pain of how you treat your guests sometimes.
That's how much our styles differ. When I invite people over to my house, I don't ridicule or embarrass them. I may disagree with them, but I will do it in a respectful manner. That's where you and I are very different. My goal is to let my guest share their point of view. If I don't agree with them, I will say it. But I will do it in a way where the guest will come back. You can challenge and disagree without losing respect and decorum. With all due respect, I have heard your style and I'm glad mine is different.
I just did a show with Kevin Smith. Actually, he asked to come to my show. It was such a pleasure to have someone who shares my style and objectives. Here's how I would envision a stop at the Paracast. You would ask me what the heck I know about paranormal. You would ask my what my areas of expertise are. You would belittle and demean me from beginning to end. If our show would be so predictable, why bother?
Now, I could tell you how I would interview you. But that's a different story.
Oh, and don't worry about people from your audience coming over to check my show out. I'm sure they won't bother and will use discernment. Besides, they are the ones discussing Veritas here (whether good or bad). Hey, it's a compliment.
Cheers,
Mel Fabregas
The Veritas Show
