The Need-to-Know podcast deals with the now acknowledged reality of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena or UAP. Its hosts are award-winning broadcasters and investigative journalists Ross Coulthart and Bryce Zabel. Every episode, they’ll look at what’s happened in the UAP/UFO world. Coulthart and Zabel discuss their current investigations, give each other advice, and seek to answer the big questions: who are they and what do they want?
Ross Coulthart’s work has been featured on Australia’s version of “60 Minutes.” And his documentary for Channel Seven Australia covering his UFO findings has been seen by more than ten million viewers. He is the author of In Plain Sight, in which he concludes that, while publicly dismissing the phenomenon for decades, governments have been seriously studying it all along and take it very seriously. Coulthart continues to report on the subject for Australian network television while working on investigations spawned by his book.
Bryce Zabel is an award-winning writer who has created or developed five primetime television drama series and worked on a dozen writing staffs. His feature credits include Mortal Kombat and Atlantis. His World War II film, The Last Battle, will shoot in the summer of 2024. Zabel was an original correspondent for CNN, and an award-winning investigative reporter for PBS. Zabel has authored his own UFO book, A.D. After Disclosure. He writes and edits the publication Trail of the Saucers that is read by more than 80,000 readers each month.

UAP Burnout
It's an issue that's touched many in the UAP community, and worthy of a long discussion: fatigue from covering UAP, interacting with the community, fending off the flamers and trying to stay grounded. Bryce shares the tale of his ten-year hiatus while Ross commends Curt Jaimungal's recent decision to 'step away' for a while. But there's also hope, says Ross, citing three members of Congress and their attempts to interview an Air Force pilot over his 2023 sighting - and the video he captured.

More UFO Lies & Coverup
Ross and Bryce take turns teeing off on the Defense Department's report that was supposed to chronicle the US government's history of dealing with the UFO/UAP issue. Among their conclusions about the reports "conclusions:" It's more Pentagon obfuscation to deter public attention; a kneejerk polemic against former AARO head Sean Kirkpatrick's critics; not a hint of historical review; and from a couple of lawmakers who talked to Ross: Congress is NOT letting this issue go.

Adios, Voldemort
"Voldemort," in this podcast, is Bryce's new name for Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, the now-former head of AARO, the Defense Department's "All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office." Bryce and Ross rip Kirkpatrick's exit statements, including his assertion that a soon to be released Pentagon report will say it's found no evidence of aliens, only allegations circulated repeatedly by UFO claim advocates. The other big event in the episode: "Need to Know," the song! Bryce explains the history of the song he co-composed - and we play it!

Is This the Year?
Bryce and Ross begin 2024 with a quick look back at the big events of last year: David Grusch's revelations and the gutting of the Schumer Amendment to the Defense bill. Then they look ahead to this year and an upcoming House Oversight Committee hearing, Lue Elizondo's book and Grusch's op-ed piece on the heels of the US government slightly loosening what he's able to reveal. And Ross drops a big hint about what could be a very big story: new data from the James Webb Space Telescope.

UFO Gatekeepers Strike Back
Disappointment and some disagreements in this episode, as Ross and Bryce review the amended version of Sen. Chuck Schumer's disclosure language in the new Defense bill. Ross blames "lickspittle Congressmen" in the pockets of the aerospace companies for turning Schumer's disclosure proposals into a "flaccid limp lettuce leaf." The two set the table for a future discussion on what both believe would be a very bad idea: "catastrophic disclosure."

JFK and UFOs?
Approaching the 60th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Bryce and Ross examine the similarities between the efforts to conceal the truth about the President's death and concealing the truth about UFO/UAP. Also: as predicted in the last episode, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick is, indeed, leading AARO. So who will succeed him? And will that person bring a different opinion about whistleblower David Grusch?

Customer Reviews
Fantastic show on UAP
These guys know people and drop hints on the UAP subject.
Good Podcast but
Bryce and Ross do a much better job acting as Journalists than todays Journalists on this subject. I think though they fail to realize that there is no accountability in D.C. anymore for two decades on real matters. The senate and house are doing what federal government does now when they want to kill inquiries and investigations on subjects they dont want to release the truth on. They use bureaucratic byzantine methods to slow walk any investigation till media can produce propaganda and investigators lose interest because of stone walling. Reality is that when there is no once being held accountable on any level in government for these actions there is no reason not to stonewall even when by law you can’t. Gillabrand and Schumer and AOC talk a good game but haven’t be followed up. At least Tim Bourchardt tells it like it is that people like Mike Johnson and many others on both sides are beholding to military and Intelligence administrative state to kill anything on this subject. There will be no more info coming out from active government sources because of no accountability among bad actors in government and our media being nothing more than propagandists now that run interference for this Administration and the Administrative state. Good show but Ross as a gun owner its very hard snd expensive to have access to automatic weapon. The guns you speak about are semi automatics. No Bryce there are not mass shootings everyday they are gang incidents classified as mass shootings. 87% of gun deaths are committed in gang activity and 70% of those weapons are illegally obtained. 86% of gang membership now is of non citizens. Go after gangs and ship off non citizens and your gun violence issue drops by 70%. Dont blame legal gun owners and dont spread bad info. Automatic weapons have been hard to obtain and you go through multiple Federal government checks and at least $15000 of fees to obtain one. Truth on all subjects are needed not unfounded hyperbole.
TRUMP 2024!!
