Off Topic to Chris and Gene:
Ok, ok, I was pissed-off listening to WS wiggle-out of a lot questions being asked and the obvious promotion of his latest book.
The only redeeming and useful purpose by having WS on the Paracast is this thread. So, my Ahab is taking a backseat considering it prompted an excellent thread topic.
On the guest topic issue, imo, the Paracast needs new people and different ideas beyond what you've been doing for 10 years. Can you at least get 20-25% new guests that have not been on the show before? Seriously!
A fantastic guest you had recently was Kirby Surprise. That is a perfect example of what we need more of... the poor guy says "you know" about 50 million times that drove me crazy... but he was an awesome "new idea" guest.
I definitely would be willing to offer an excellent question list for him, as you seriously need to get him again on the Paracast. He must come back for a number of reasons I can provide.
That's not to say we can't learn a lot more from the Old Timers... I miss Moseley [any lost audio or writing available?], Allen Greenfield, Wingfield, etc. [I could add many more, of course.]
An example of new guests that I don't want to listen to are anything Kurzweil related... like Eric Wargo. That guy is sooo full of it just spouting the Kurzweil line. Micah Hanks is already online elsewhere too much, so you should avoid guests like that unless he's on some panel and he is really needed to voice something specific too, IMO.
Where are the altered state people and that kind of experiencer willing to give us their personal accounts, travel discoveries worldwide with native peoples, DMT or other related experimental research in the lab or personally, etc. I'm certain a majority of Paracast members would want these kinds of guests that are almost non-existent here.
Sorry if I came across as Ahab... The WS interview is what prompted that reaction, but this thread topic with excellent posts chilled-out that entity entirely.
Do you have any plans to eliminate the commercials from all your old interviews, seriously, will this be done anytime soon or not? I realize that would be part of your paid subscriptions.
