Paranormal Peria
I enjoyed this show and it's subject matter. As a boy I shared an encounter with two friends similar to what Chris O'Brien describes happening with him and his brother - though mine was somewhat less dramatic.
I thought that the guests were both knowledgeable and pleasant, but no more knowledgeable than (and in some ways, perhaps not as knowledgeable as) Chris O'Brien. I thought the show informative. Though I'm pretty well versed on the topic and have been curious and fascinated by it since before my (possible) encounter as a lad, I still heard a couple of things that I hadn't before, and that was a nice surprise.
Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum was mentioned at least once during the episode, and I wouldn't, at all, mind an future show devoted to this same subject featuring Dr. Meldrum (whose background in anthropology would lend a certain weight to the discussion) with a lot of "back-and-forth" between he, Gene and Chris - with more emphasis on the science, regarding subjects like anthropological/anatomical dissimilarities between Sasquatch tracks and humans, or out-right forgery. I find that the discovery of dermal ridges (i.e. "fingerprints") found on plaster casts made of footprint impressions particularly intriguing.
At any rate, I felt that this episode lived up to the claim of being "The Gold Standard of Paranormal Radio."
Regards,
