30 Odd Minutes Missions

In Episode Twelve we talk crop circles with author and lecturer, Freddy Silva. Silva is the author of the best-selling book, Secrets in the Fields: The Science and Mysticism of Crop Circles, he’s been a guest on the History Channel and Discovery Channel discussing earth mysteries and sacred spaces, and tonight he makes his debut on 30 Odd Minutes. Don’t miss a “live” field report from Matt Moniz in the Hockomock Swamp. Is Bigfoot still lurking? Tune in to find out! If the truth is out there… 30 Odd Minutes will find it… but only by sheer accident.

In Episode Eleven we talk parapsychology with “Professor Paranormal” Loyd Auerbach. We discuss some of his favorite haunts including the USS Hornet and the Moss Beach Distillery in California, plus we meet Loyd’s demon cat! You also don’t want to miss our first musical guest and fellow paranormal investigator, Carlston “Chops” Wood and the Oddball Jam. Plus a “live” field report from Andrew Lake. Is spoon bending becoming a pandemic? Watch to find out! (Please forgive a few audio gremlins who plagued us in this episode — think of them as croutons in the salad that is our show.) If the truth is out there… 30 Odd Minutes will find it… but only by sheer accident.

(Aired August 27, 2009) In Episode Ten we come to you live from a cell in the haunted Derby Gaol in Derby, England. We talk the history and the haunts with author, historian, and lecturer, Richard Felix. Perhaps best known for his role on the television show, Most Haunted, we talk about Richard’s paranormal experiences in the Gaol and his views on what exactly is a ghost. Don’t miss 30 Odd Second with Keith Johnson of N.E.A.R. and an amazing paranormal clip of the week with Ron Kolek of the New England Ghost Project. Do ghosts have a sense of humor? Tune in to find out! If the truth is out there… 30 Odd Minutes will find it… but only by sheer accident.

I’ve blogged this before, but man-oh-man there’s a lot of paranormal radio out there. The good news is that the content is popular, and a lot of people feel they have something to say on the topic. The technology is such that anyone can start a new Internet radio show on ghosts with no money or experience necessary. The downside is that the field can get watered down with inferior content. I still believe that cream will rise to the top, and that the quality shows will find their audience. I’ve been involved with the Spooky Southcoast radio show for some time now. Roughly once per month I join them in the studio as a guest co-host. It’s a great experience for me to ask the questions instead of being the interview subject. Spooky Southcoast is a show that broadcasts from a real, terrestrial radio station (WBSM), streams online live, and then offers their show for podcast download after. It’s the trifecta that frequent radio guests seek because you know there’s an audience out there listening. My hat is off to Tim, Matt, and Matt for working hard at what they do, bringing great guests on their show, and hanging in there for years doing their thing. See you on the radio!

(Aired August 6, 2009) In Episode Seven, we explore the crafts and creatures that might be visiting us from distant galaxies. Author and historian, Richard M. Dolan joins us to discuss his new book, UFOs and the National Security State: The Cover-Up Exposed, 1973-1991. Dolan brings along some very compelling UFO photos and discusses the implication of these visitations on our national security. You’ll also hear about host, Jeff Belanger’s sighting from 1987. Adam Julius from the Midwest/Minnesota Paranormal Society also pops in to show us a ghostly photo his group captured in Colfax Cemetery for our “Paranormal Clip of the Week.” Is that a flying saucer caught on tape during the filming of this episode? Watch to find out! If the truth is out there… 30 Odd Minutes will only find it by sheer accident.
