(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.
(Aired August 20, 2009) Yup, each episode of 30 Odd Minutes is filmed LIVE. Sometimes it’s magic, sometimes it’s tragic, but it’s always exciting from our end. This episode may have been cursed. We couldn’t get our main guest, Salem Witch Christian Day, on until the show was half-over, our audio connection wasn’t working with the Starborn Support twins, Deb and Audrey Hewins, but somehow we pushed our way through to 30 very odd minutes. Sure we could have buried this episode so only those watching live would have seen it, but we figured, we’re letting it all hang out anyway. Nothing like a rocky night to force you to learn a few things. Wanna watch us squirm? Check out this episode!
In Episode Eight, we come to you live from our studios in hell. We talk demons, possession, and exorcism with demonologist, Adam Blai. Blai brings a background in psychology and a lot of experience with demonic cases to the interview. He talks about some of the signs of possession and what he’s personally witnessed. We also have some compelling Bigfoot evidence taken by Jason Lorefice of Paranormal Investigators of New England in Hockomock Swamp in Massachusetts. And don’t miss our One Question Interview with Lee Ann from the Lizzie Borden House. Can you roast marshmallows in hell? Watch to find out! If the truth is out there… 30 Odd Minutes will only find it by sheer accident. Click on the video below to watch.
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.
