    February 18, 2024 — Hercules Invictus with Tim Swartz

    Gene and cohost Tim Swartz welcome back Hercules Invictus. A Lemnian Greek, he’s a proud descendant of Argonauts and Amazons. He is openly Olympian in his spirituality and worldview, dedicated to living the Mythic Life and has been exploring the fringes of our reality throughout his entire earthly sojourn. In this episode, Hercules pontificates about folklore, about the possibility that beings from other planets were active in so-called Biblical times. That is, unless an ancient civilization, such as Atlantis, was the home for a race of advanced beings. For over four decades he has been sharing his Olympian Odyssey with others. Hercules also recruits Argonauts and Heraklidae to help him usher in a new Age of Heroes. In the paranormal realm, Hercules currently produces and hosts several podcasts, a YouTube channel.

    February 11, 2024 — Brian Walker with Tim Swartz

    Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present an entertaining pop culture look at “B” movies and movie serials with Brian Walker, creator and webmaster of Brian’s Drive-In Theater. He’s been keeping memories of drive-in films and their stars alive since February 1, 1998. His love of films began in childhood with his first Super 8mm projector given to him by his grandmother who also bought him his first film, a four-minute excerpt of a W.C. Fields comedy. Over the last 50 years, he has assembled a film collection from such genres as horror and science fiction, comedy, and action with a special emphasis on B (low budget) movies. Currently calling Morgantown, West Virginia home, Brian is fortunate to live in proximity of a number of still-operating drive-in theaters in the southwestern Pennsylvania area and loves taking his convertible to the drive-in during the warm summer months. All told, this episode will provide a great look into pop culture over the decades, and its impact on society. As listeners to The Paracast know full well, the conventional memes in the UFO field about the origins and purpose of the phenomenon are infused in our culture, and sci-fi “B” movies, such as “Earth Versus the Flying Saucers,” play a large part.

Healthy skepticism

I have always enjoyed the Paracast. The bring on guests with all kinds of stories and experiences, giving many theories an opportunity to be presented. At the same time the hosts kindly and respectfully expect evidence to support guests claims.

The dude has spent his life dedicated to this stuff, and the proof is in the amazing depth of knowledge, as well as the truly heartwarming lifelong connections he has with so many of the guests. It’s a fun listen for us fringy weirdos
