To which show(s) do you refer? I've been called a lot of things by a lot of people but never "seriously unbalanced?" I don't think that statement is fair or anywhere close to being accurate and true...

Laugh out loud show! Come on, was that a put on? Chris got slowly sucked in. He did the greatest straight man routine I had ever heard!
At first I was going to turn the show off, but it kept getting better and better. Just when you think there is nothing left in the UFO field

I thought It was laugh out loud funny. Especially Chris slowly getting sucked in. Come on, was it a put on?

He wanted to be on the show, (and thank you for all the Insanity in that pdf, but thank you for providing it to us for free) and ...he doesn't back up anything of his batshit insane theories. I research Steak Sauce on the internet. And just did.

Honestly...has anyone glimpsed anything remotely salvageable information out of that ? I'm still all 'yay for our hosts'.

We take that as a compliment, but we don't plan the results. We just go with the flow and do what's necessary when interacting with guests.

Its hard to have top of the line people every time when doing a weekly show. Gene even admitted that there were some scheduling issues. Some shows get around it by airing irregularly. Others recycle the same people over and over again. The Paraccast eschews both of those options. Once in a while a crackpot will get on. With any luck it won't be that often.

I love when he was asked were he gets his evidence he said i read it on the internet or watched youtube! Well then it must be true the internet would never lie to us
Busted? lol Gene: was the show a ringer episode--a "put on"? Or did we say---hey, the guy's persistent, he's got credentials, he wants a shot, let's put him on and see what he has to say?
I'll go for the latter. We expected more of him.

C'mon, you gotta love something that includes a reference to the Rosenburg trial including a reference to "warships of outer space." Aaron found this on the internet by looking up the names of Ethel and Julius. Where? you say? "Sorry, it's too complicated....the sources who simply...clips on the internet...who don't give their sources, but it was definitely on the internet."
"The resource had the stamp of use, maybe... Remember movie 'Three Days of the Condor'..."
You cannot make this stuff up. I put the big earphones on so I didn't miss the under-breath comments. Thank you to Chris and Gene for a renewal of hope that paranormal topics can include the fringe and be handled with humor and tact.
Key point-- when Chris (Gene?) said, "I think I have a propellor on my head!" Sweet lord, that was a Sweet Ride and worthy of my annual award of the Art Bell Chronovisor Award. You may remember the famous episode where Art Bell calls out the publisher of one Father Ernetti who allegedly invented a TV-style time travel viewer. Art also had not read the book and was caught off guard when the publisher mentioned that Father Ernetti had not only viewed the crucifixion but took a photograph. Art's intro and handling of the interview is a classic and I have to say, this Paracast episode is the absolute antidote to my C2C disaffection.
Instead of feeling angry that the logical next question was replaced by comments like "my sister lives near you," I was afraid to leave the room for fear I would miss Gene or Chris' next question/comment.
As far as baiting someone to make fun of them-- since when is respectful questioning of claims considered off-limits? "Crash in Roswell was a failed experiment by the anunaki using DNA." PRICELESS!

I enjoy the shows like this. One thing puzzles me though : Christopher was keen to point out that people like Sitchin do not have their work accepted by the academic community. I was just wondering what the state of play in 'the academic community' is with the work of people like David Hatcher Childress?

There's a difference. You can evaluate DHC on his own merits or lack thereof. But Kaplan was citing Sitchin as an authoritative source.

Yeah but if a person were to then sit there as a presenter and big up his research as worthwhile (and as possessing value on those merits) then the ability of that person to 'evaluate merits' look a bit skewed.
I'm just gently mocking.
Anyway, when I first started listening to the 'cast (my first show was Greer's first appearance) I used to like to picture you and David, when you were doing the 'what is the evidence?'/'why do you think aliens exist' line of questioning as the two Aliens from the Simpsons transmitting from space. I later refined this to you as a grey and David as a reptilian.
The guest would be speaking to you on the 'phone (or sometimes I would imagine your voices coming to him telepathically) in some sort of secure medical unit where he was being observed by armed guards and medical staff in lab coats. In the days when the adverts use to just come in without announcement via a kind of slamming vault door sound I used to picture that you had had to cut to a break due to the fact that the medical staff had had to rapidly sedate the guest who was growing to agitated (a bit like the Sideshow Bob prison transmission scene in the Simpsons).
They were happy days and this weeks show brought it all back

I am sure they reject Childress because (1) he does not have a degree, and (2) fails to follow academic standards. You can get by with the former (Steve Jobs for example) but not the latter.
Some of our more interesting and entertaining explorers tend to exaggerate their credentials, calling themselves "experts" and listing accomplishments in terms of books written, rather than papers given. Anyone can christen themselves an expert and list their book as proof. Here are some Childress "credentials" from one of his websites (About Wexclub | Wexclub | World Explorers Club | Adventure Magazine | World Wide Expeditions | Annual Conferences) in which he describes himself: "David Hatcher Childress, Founder & World Explorer David Hatcher Childress, known as the real-life Indiana Jones to the many fans of his books..."
Wikipedia lists David Hatcher Childress as the author of a number of books; however, he is listed as the EDITOR for the books in red below (this is an excerpt from the same webpage)
"David has a wide scope of interests, and is a recognized expert not only on ancient civilizations and technology, but also on free energy, anti-gravity and UFOs. His books on these subjects include: The Anti-Gravity Handbook; Anti-Gravity & the World Grid; Anti-Gravity and the Unified Field; Extraterrestrial Archeology; Vimana Aircraft of Ancient India & Atlantis; The Free-Energy Device
Handbook; Man-Made UFOs 1944-1994; and The Time Travel Handbook. His latest effort is Pirates and the Lost Templar Fleet. Soon to be announced is Lost Cities of the American Southwest."
Personally, I think the POV of a non-academic is of value and adds to the
observations of the academic elite. As we all know, the rigors of acadamia can
cramp the imagination and slant the scientist's observations with the need to avoid censure from peers.
Of course, the listing above could also be a clerical error as easy as it could be an attempt to exaggerate. The bias of the reader will determine which paradigm is more likely, right?

Umm... Please explain 'genetically tuned barrier'? Concept does not compute.
I ask because I am feeling its highly unlikely that this fellow bothered explaining such a concept.

Not that I believe in it, but it sounds like a barrier that selects for beings with a certain genetic make-up. Thus it would allow technology, but not certain kinds of entities, to pass through. If this is correct, then conceivably there could be beings capable of crossing the barrier, like various sorts of E.T.s.
