The Paracast seeks to shed light on the mysteries and complexities of our universe and the secrets that surround us in our everyday lives. The Paracast asks the questions that others are afraid to touch, and helps to expose the fakers and frauds that sometimes interfere with the serious study of the unknown.

Join long-time paranormal writer and researcher Gene Steinberg, and a team of knowledgeable guest cohosts, including Curt Collins, Geneva Hagen, Tim Swartz, Bob Zanotti, as they present a panel of special guest experts and experiencers to explore the realms of the known and unknown. Listen each week to the great stories about the amazing history of the paranormal field in the 20th and 21st centuries.

When strange things occur that confound traditional scientific dogma, from strange objects speeding across our skies, to frightening creatures in remote areas of the world, and incredible reports of haunted houses, The Paracast will be there to separate the signal from the noise.

Latest Weekly Episode — We’re Back! (March 22, 2026):  Our newest cohost, Geneva Hagen joins us with our very special guest Tillie Treadwell for a very special shop talk episode. A lifelong activist, Geneva grew up in the foothills of Appalachia with an extended family that practiced folk magic such as dowsing, table rapping, precog dreaming and psychic healing. She was coeditor of Caveat Emptor and Crossroads Quarterly zines and on staff at High Times, Beyond Reality, two community newspapers and the BC Legislative Assembly. Geneva was a hatha yoga instructor and a certified NLP (neurolinguistic programming) practitioner. She moved to Canada in the mid 1980s and spent six years off the grid in a log cabin, until all the chopping of wood and carrying of water had wrecked her shoulders. Tillie is an American author and experiencer. Her very earliest memories include what seem to be paranormal encounters, and the other side has always played a central role in her life. She was co-lead of an exorcist and investigative team with the Catholic church, has worked as an independent tarot interpreter, healer, medium and advisor, and today is an author for Zontar Press, a publishing house run by Tim R. Swartz, co-host on The Paracast.
