Good luck to you. I rejoined a few months ago, after a year or so absence, because I liked what you brought to the table. So I probably won't renew. I have a strong feeling all the work and extra stuff you did will be greatly missed. Take careDear Paracast Listeners & Forum Participants,
I have just resigned as cohost of The Paracast over differences between Gene and I on the subject of vaccine mandates. Many of you will no doubt side with Gene on that issue, and my exit might even be a cause for celebration for others. For the record, I believe that Gene's position comes from a good place, but in my view it doesn't end in that same place, and that gap has proven to be too wide for me to bridge.
I will be launching an updated version of ufopages.com by the end of the month where my art, music, and used books can be ordered. In the meantime the Paracast Shop will still carry the current designs and I have no intention of removing them. Those who like the show and would like to keep on listening should certainly do so, and if anyone wants to take a stab at cohosting, by all means get in-touch with Gene.

I think it’s because you, as an open minded and rational skeptic, refuse to go with the ETH as the only answer to the UFO phenomenon. Your former cohost seemed so bent on that idea he didn’t really like anyone who didn’t automatically agree with him that all UFOs are being flown by little gray men.So far as I'm concerned one's opinions on the matter shouldn't influence The Paracast either way. It should never have become an issue.
One thing I've learned at my very very advanced age is that you cannot predict how people will react to different scenarios. Randall knew for years my views on UFOs, and how that has anything to do with mask/vaccine mandates (the latter of which date back to the Revolutionary War) escapes me. But I'm sure he means well and I wish him the best of everything.I think it’s because you, as an open minded and rational skeptic, refuse to go with the ETH as the only answer to the UFO phenomenon.

@Greers Meeting Planner I apologize for being so forward, but I respectfully disagree with your statement based on merit itself. As long as I've been listening to the show, which includes me going back to the very 1st episode and working my way to the present, Gene and his co-hosts have merely called out the charlatans that have marred the research that many people spend their lives doing. It's not being an "arbitrar of truth" as you put it; instead, what he's done is show the other side of the fence and say "This is out there. What's your response?" The Swiss Voldamort is a perfect example of this...It understandable. I had to stop listening years ago when the show continually attacked a MUFON director at the time for having non politically correct views. While i didnt agree with the views of that MUFON director, as a libertarian I respect everyones right to their own opinion and it had nothing to do with understanding the UFO mystery. Unfortunately Gene is one of those people who believes he is the arbitrar of truth and morality and wants to impose it onto other people. I used to tune into the paracast as escapism from things like politics and to get deeper into the magic of the unknown, but like all things that we used to hold deer it has been corrupted by politics, specifically left leaning politics and the left these days just cant let a platform go to waste they have to keep jamming their ideology down your throat. Hopefully this is a wake up call for Gene, its never too late.
While I miss Randall, I have to agree with this assessment. I always found it funny that he’d tear apart conventional religion, and then defend his religious belief, as David Halperin so eloquently put it, in the ETH, complete with a road to Damascus conversion and revealed knowledge, but then play word games with the term “alien.” I have enjoyed the rotating cohosts, though, because they bring different viewpoints to different discussions.I think it’s because you, as an open minded and rational skeptic, refuse to go with the ETH as the only answer to the UFO phenomenon. Your former cohost seemed so bent on that idea he didn’t really like anyone who didn’t automatically agree with him that all UFOs are being flown by little gray men.
