    May 25, 2025 — Film Historian Gary D. Rhodes
    May 24 2025
    Gene and cohost Tim Swartz feature Gary D. Rhodes. He is a renowned film historian and author with a passion for uncovering the forgotten stories of horror cinema. He’s a world expert on Bela Lugosi and Dracula, and will reveal the secrets of the tragic life story of this world-famous horror film legend. He will also talk about his book, "Weirdumentary: Ancient Aliens, Fallacious Prophecies, and Mysterious Monsters From 1970s Documentaries." The book unlocks the secrets of the strangest cinematic phenomenon of the 1970s. It's the ultimate guide to the bizarre, the unexplained, and the wildly entertaining films and television programs that blurred the line between fact and fantasy. "Weirdumentary" examines dozens of movies and TV series, sold to the unsuspecting public as documentaries, beginning with "Chariots of the Gods" (1970) and ending with "The Man Who Saw Tomorrow" (1981). Leonard Nimoy’s "In Search Of" makes an appearance, and so does Orson Wells in his late-career role of sinister yet skeptical narrator. Although listeners to The Paracast know about their factual basis, many of these shows and movies featured spurious experts, questionable evidence, and low-budget dramatization. Acclaimed comic book artist, writer, and historian Stephen R. Bissette, best known for his groundbreaking work on DC Comics' "Swamp Thing" alongside Alan Moore, provides the foreword.

  • May 18, 2025 — Presidents & UFOs: Grant Cameron

    May 18, 2025 — Presidents & UFOs: Grant Cameron
    May 17 2025
    Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present a return appearance from Grant Cameron, who has, for over three decades, explored what U.S. Presidents know about UFOs. Are they fully informed of the extent of the phenomenon or is it kept a secret from them unless there's a compelling "need to know?" Grant is the recipient of the Leeds Conference International Researcher of the Year and the UFO Congress Researcher of the Year. He became involved in Ufology as the Vietnam War ended in May 1975 with personal sightings of a UFO type object which locally became known as Charlie Red Star. That story was published by Dundurn Press in a book titled, Tales of Charlie Red Star. Grant is one of the foremost authorities on Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump and their UFO connection. Most of that research is found at the Presidents UFO Website – https://whitehouseufo.blogspot.com/ or in two other books “The Clinton UFO Storybook” and “Managing Magic: The Government’s UFO Disclosure Plan.” After experiencing a mental download event on February 26, 2012 Grant turned his research interests away from “nuts and bolts” research to the role of consciousness in the UFO phenomena. This new research has expanded out to the possible involvement of extraterrestrials in modern music, and in the aspects of inspirations and downloads in science discoveries, inventions, Nobel Prizes, music, art, books, near death experiences, meditation, and with individuals known as savants and prodigies. Grant's most recent book is the fourth volume of The Disclosure Series "Beyond Managing Magic 2: Landing the Plane."
