The "phenomenon" ( as distinct from UFOs per se ) isn't too difficult to define. What's difficult is getting some sort of consensus on it. Probably the most widely accepted approach in serious ufology, is that of CUFOS, and As you suggest, the...

@Randall the only way I can respond to your larger meta question is to consider the discussions of our current leading theorists and their preferred theories. Because the phenomena is so difficult to define I've long thought an interdisciplinary...

Quoting parts of ufology is like quoting parts of the Bible You can make it say whatever you want. That's why I appreciate detailed researchers who don't make assumptions based on flimsy evidence such as contactee reports and then extrapolate...

They have the one thing that really matters in common--a modicum of credibility. I don't recall reports by drug addicts or prison inmates nor by people with known mental illness prior to an experience. Familiarization requires witnesses who are...

Quite a few "bits and pieces." Most people would abandon it because its overall view is contrary to what nearly everyone wants to believe. But contactee nonsense, such as Adamski's, still has a purpose--to sully certain ideas. Just like physical...

Just a head's up on a post that I'd like your feedback on. The full post is here. The most relevant question is reiterated below ( with minor changes for clarity ). Earth's geography and human physiology hasn't changed much over the last few...

To me, the value of The Paracast has nothing to do with what it would sell for. IMO it's a priceless piece of cultural history that should be preserved and made freely available to everyone. That said, a person can't be blamed for wanting to get...

So sad to hear this news. Someone mentioned having someone interview Gene. I think that is a great idea. Reading between the lines, sooner rather than later is likely best. Wish I didn't feel I have to say that but theses things can move fast.

I wondered what happened, I still enjoy the old shows. Was looking for some new one's but now I know why. Thanks and good luck!

I'm so sorry to hear that. Gene's health comes first and I'm glad he's focusing on that, but I know how important the Paracast is to him. I hope that whoever buys it honors the legacy that Gene has created.

Really sorry to hear this. I hope that Gene recovers and is able to enjoy a well deserved retirement. Hope to hear more of the paracast, perhaps someone else will grab the paranormal reins…

Agreed, but it takes vigilance and some nerdy work to administer most any website with a forum. However, if the member’s forum was temporarily disabled and various fair minded guest hosts without a cohost were able to provide an hour and a half...

I understand Gene is ill but without Gene Steinberg it is not the Paracast. I would prefer that we had some older shows released for six months and Gene came back

In not necessarily considering this thread as the Paracast’s eulogy, just wondering who could possibly fill Gene’s shoes, and then becomes apparent … no one. Sure, the website and show could be purchased by some deep pocketed autocrat (Elon) that...

As someone who has been listening for a very long time, I want to say how much I’ve always appreciated the work Gene put into building this show. The effort he dedicated to this endeavor created something truly special for all of us. Wishing him...

Well said

The Paracast was the podcast I started listening to when I first returned to thinking about UFO's, and I met the show in it's very early incarnation in the Biedny days. When you look at the catalogue of shows, the entire Ufological history is...

Yes this is the news that none of us wanted to hear.

So sorry to hear this :(:(:(

Devastated. This was Gene's baby and I feel so sad for him. On a personal level I am so much going to miss Gene doing the show.

Thanks for the link. I checked it out. The links in it to to the interviews don't work anymore, but the newspaper clips are interesting. I'm still not sure what @Trajanus thinks the "real grand design" is — but as usual I'm in agreement with your...

Just to let you know that name brings up nothing in the episode search.

Was an author by the name of Chase Brandon (Brandon Chase?) ever interviewed on The Paracast? I seem to remember such an episode and I've looked through the archives and can't seem to locate it. Does anyone know if it exists, and where I can find it?

You mention listening to Chase here So maybe he was not in the Paracast but was in a different podcast you were listening to ar the time.
