What else is worth listening to? Plus a little ranting about the competition

Hey guys, figured that I'd ask what else you guys listen to in terms of paranormal-related programs. Who is worth listening to?

I do have a coast-to-coast membership, because it's so cheap, and even if 2 out of 7 days have a couple hours worth listening to I will take it. Of course, they are TERRIBLE at vetting guests. At the end of the show they thank such a huge staff of people, yet no one bothers to dig into some of these folks' background. I can't believe they still have on so many proven frauds, and as much as I like Noory for being kind and unoffensive (I honestly think he means well), sometimes it makes me want to scream.

There's a guy that is somehow affiliated with coast to coast named Tim Binnall. He has a podcast with some interesting guests, but he doesn't stand up to his guests either, citing the "this is for entertainment" reason. His show audio is beyond terrible, and his laugh will pierce your ear-drums if you try to listen on earbuds, but it's free with zero ads and he does have some good guests and is fairly smart (even if he tries too hard at times).

Mysterious Universe is the top notch in terms of audio quality, but their entire show is based around getting people to pay $9 a month to hear them an extra 2 hours a week tell stories from other blogs and books. I view their program as a time-saver. I don't have to read about 10 different blogs because they will just regurgitate it for me with a friendly Aussie accent. They're great story-tellers, however they do zero vetting under the "this is for entertainment only" clause. I was recently dis-heartened to see them selling the Steven Greer documentary through their website. If they got a few bucks a cut and sold a couple hundred paid viewings, is that amount worth exposing themselves as being insincere younger Australian versions of coast to coast?

Anyway, sorry for the long rant. I've just had a hard time finding much to listen to lately. I know there's other places with lots of shows like BlogTalkRadio, but there's so much crap to sift through.

I also wanted to say that I've finally adjusted to the ads in the Paracast. Let's be honest here, the supposed "biggest internet radio show in the land" is Alex Jones, and he has way more ads. If you're listening on your computer you can skip most of it anyway. As much as I love to play armchair quarterback and sometimes love and hate Gene and Chris (and Biedny, whether he's buried history or not, the old episodes were epic), I without fail know that on Monday mornings when I turn the computer on I will have a new Paracast to listen to.

Keep up the good work guys, provocating whichever way you happen to. You've done well to strike that fine line of entertaining the possible while analyzing the insanity.
 
Don't forget about Don Ecker's Dark Matters Radio. He also has an excellent archive of shows on his site ( if you can get it to load and work properly ). Last time I was there it was under construction or something. But keep checking back because Don has tons of good stuff.
 
I completely second Radio Misterioso - a very relaxed space of honest dialogue, great eclectic music, and probing, quirky introspection on a myriad of topics. Completely inconsistent in frequency of posting but some of the archives are just rare, wicked pieces of radio.

Thanks for posting this! I am always searching for more paranormal radio content. I really like the radio format. So much easier to listen while you do other things, plus I like to let my mind explore the topics without too much visual interference. :cool:

Although not all are created equal, I find it interesting to hear different takes on some of the same events and information (along with discovering new tidbits I may have never encountered before). I occasionally listen to C2C too. I used to sub but I let mine run out. I agree, it's worth it if you listen pretty regularly - especially if you do the year long option. I usually found myself scouring old episodes because much of the newer stuff I did not find as interesting. They occasionally throw something out there that catches my eye (or ear), but usually I start my search elsewhere (like here). I have to say - I absolutely love that the Paracast makes their archives available to everyone for free. Very awesome on their part!

I recently listened to an interesting episode of Ground Zero Radio with Clyde Lewis on strange boxes washing up on the shore in Oregon a while ago (found it on YouTube). That's the only episode I have heard so far so I can't really say if the program is worth sticking with or not yet, but it may be one to consider if your looking for something to check out. I was curious about the weird box thing but a cursory Google search didn't turn up anything significant (that I spotted, anyway).

I also used to listen to a guy online named Erick Bee on The Hive but he moved stations and didn't really do a good job of informing listeners when the moves were made so I kind of fell off the wagon. I think that was a smaller show at the time. Not sure if he's still doing his show or not.

I really enjoy Binnall, and his audio has gotten better and better over the years. I think you have to cut him some slack in the audio department for being a donations-only one-man operation.

Also, as for "standing up to" his guests... it's just a different style. He's spoken pretty directly about wanting his show to be an interview and a dialog, and not a debate or cross-examination. And he asks good questions, and it's pretty clear I think when he's having a hard time with what a guest asserts... I think he's just more of a "give 'em enough rope" guy than a hard-nosed cross-examiner. He's said explicitly that his show just lets people present their stuff, answer questions, and from there its up to the listeners discernment.

And honestly, I love you Paracast, but when the show does become mostly confrontational, I usually get bored and turn it off. To each his own I guess...

I use the BeyondPod app on my phone- all the commercial breaks are pretty much the same length, so seven of so quick taps of the "forward" button and the break is over!
:)

Oh also, I'll second the Greg Bishop/Radio Misterioso vote- I really enjoy his style. I just wish his shows were posted more often/consistently.

Don Ecker's DRM is good too, but if you're posting here you probably already know that.
 
I find Binnall entertaining as well but wish he would not overprocess his audio or lower his audio recording levels to get rid of all the distortion. I agree with pretty much all of Actionsquid's points, especially the easy going, well researched dialogue approach. Binnall always does his homework and brings great structure to his show. There's kind of feigned believability he provides to keep the discussion going. There's an enormous diversity of show topics and the Kimball-Binnall-Bishop triangle that would have been squared off into a foursome if Tonnies had lived longer is an interesting feature of BOA and Radio Misterioso. There's an interesting, genuine quality of thought they all share that is probing, doubtful, imaginative, very authentic and mostly devoid of ego.

Thanks for the leads guys.

Here are some paranormal-ish podcasts I enjoy...

Red Ice Creations with Henrik Palmgren - Red Ice Creations
Explores a wide rage of exotic and interesting things. Some guests are sketchy, most are really good. Publishes about one hour per week. First hour free, second hour subscriber-only.

Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio with Miguel Conner - Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio
Interviews scholars and writers about sacred texts, history of religion, and science fiction. Donation supported. Fast-forward to about 20 minutes in to avoid the "Drivel" Miguel usually lays down before each interview.

Occult of Personality Podcast - Occult of Personality - Greg Kaminsky interviews occult researchers, teachers, and publishers. Kinda boring, but I pick up information because I know very little about the occult and magic. Free. Embedded plugs for books and such.

Because this was a while back I don't mean to catch you off gourde, (sic) or whatever, but might Yee turn a sincerely interested "wicked pieces of radio" fan onto what you personally feel are some real rare gems? I just read this post and your confirmation here is very intriguing. Bishop, like Cox, or Redfern, are the "real deal" and can provide priceless insight IMO. We could even spurn on several threads centered on specific old shows where all kinds of interesting inspiration might follow. Just a thought.

PS. I am also a TB fan albeit his quirks, which IMO, just make him more of a typical sincere paranormal schmoe like myself anyhow. ;)
 
Jeff,

I personally enjoyed the Gulyas Contactee-O-Rama episode - academic and entertaining, and his most recent one with Red Pill Junkie - some really nice meandering there. As you search through Bishop's archive there's a great one with Sarradet with stuff on Karla Turner, plus a bad audio interview with her in person, a really cool UFO audio album (shame it's only 28 min and just one side of the album), the Emenegger interview was also excellent --> those are the ones that strike me by memory. If you look through his collection you will no doubt find guests that you probably enjoy yourself. He's pretty laid back, very open minded, sometimes plagued by audio issues and drive by alarms past the Kill Radio station, but totally non-judgmental - just very good conversations.

Thanks for the Occult of Personality - I'm checking it out . . .

I've listened to quite a few episodes of Aeon Bytes and really like them, I asked Miguel about his monologues - and he indicated that they had evolved from a time when he had to fill a specific time period, people of course are divided about them he said but it's a habit now, a kind of "sermon" to keep out the hylic.

It works! I tried Aeon Byte three times and gave up until somebody on a forum informed me that the "drivel" usually ends right around the 20 minute mark.

Thanks for telling me the story of where it originated. Although I dislike the tribal war demon YW as much as the next guy :D, I just can't dig Miguel's drivel.

The rest of the show is great. I like that Miguel interviews a broad rage of guests, everything from rabid atheists to Jesuits to hippies.
 
What? No one mentioned The Unexplained podcast?

Recent guests: Jesse Ventura, Jim Marrs, Richard Hogland (yes, well...), Linda Moulton Howe, Timothy Good, Paul Hellyer, David Icke, Nick Redfern.

Past archives available. No ads, no subscription (although donations welcome), at least an hour long.

The host is well-known British broadcaster Haward Hughes - his real name!

He's not a combative interviewer, but he doesn't let his guests get away with too much BS.
