An Exclusive Interview with Myself
Episode Notes
In this episode, I asked myself some questions that I’ve always wanted the answers to. Well, at least my answers on this particular day. These answer may change in the future. What’s the deal with Roswell? Least favorite episode of my own podcast? Favorite UFO book? Believe me when I say that I wasn’t sure how I’d answer when I asked myself!

The Zine Scene- UFO Magazine 3, Part 2
Episode Notes
As we wrap up our deep dive into the third issue of (California) UFO Magazine, we find ourselves knee-deep in tales of UFO talk at the Whole Life Expo. Then, we're off to the wilderness where we make contact with the elusive families of Space Sasquatches.
Next, we take a philosophical detour with a mind-bending column by the one and only Terrence McKenna. And then, drumroll, please, we look at a review of Strieber's "Communion". which at the time was so fresh off the presses, you could practically smell the ink. And finally, we explore the dolphin-alien connection, complete with dolphin channelling.

The Zine Scene- UFO Magazine 3, Part 1
Episode Notes
It’s back to the early days of UFO Magazine or (California UFO Magazine) for a fairly lighthearted romp through a publication that did its best to provide insight into all aspects of the UFO culture of the time, much to the chagrin of the buttoned-up nuts-and-bolts time. That tension, between “scientific” and “new age” approaches is very much apparent in this issue!
In fact, there’s so much good stuff in here, that we’ll be finishing it up on the next episode!
The documentary mentioned—_UFOs and Channelling—_can be found on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy92Xz6jyI4

Carl Higdon, his Wife, his Therapist, and the Tabloids
Episode Notes
Is it an abduction? A contact experience? Both? Neither? The encounter that Carl Higdon had in October, 1974 in Wyoming is one of those strange 1970s encounters that doesn’t get enough attention. After…encountering Margery Higdon’s 2017 book about her husband’s ordeal, I thought it would be a good subject for our approach here on The Saucer Life.

Customer Reviews
Witty perspective on flying saucer whacky!
This is a great podcast as long as you don’t take the subject too seriously. The host is a great researcher and is definitely funny. When he wanders over to adjacent topics in forteana, the dismissive starts to overwhelm the research quality but that is a minor quibble. Also, the guy will have egg on his face if earth ever gets accepted into one of these “silver jumpsuit’ galactic federations;)

Insightful, Educational,AND Entertaining
Aaron Gulyas is a remarkable academic that gives a fresh and sceptical perspective in the crazy world of saucers. His witty delivery of historical UFO related material is both hilarious and well balanced. This is great new podcast that doesn’t take an entire afternoon to enjoy. Kudos!
