    Rock n' Roll Ghost Hunter_ Keith Age on his music, films, and 50 Years of Paranormal Truth-Seeking

    They call him the Rock n’ Roll Ghost Hunter — and for good reason. With nearly 50 years of paranormal investigation behind him, Keith Age has built a reputation as one of the field’s most grounded, evidence‑driven researchers. Known for cutting through myth and speculation, he approaches hauntings through history, environment, and verifiable evidence, earning respect from skeptics and believers alike. Keith is the host of the Booth Brothers’ acclaimed Spooked documentary series (Christopher Saint Booth & Philip Adrian Booth), and his work has appeared in 40+ television shows across major networks. In 1996, he founded the Louisville Ghost Hunters, one of the region’s longest‑running investigative teams and a cornerstone of Midwestern paranormal research. Now, Keith is entering a new era with Bourbon Spirits, a series blending Kentucky heritage, historic locations, and the lingering mysteries woven into the Bluegrass State’s past. Five decades in, his mission remains unchanged: Strip away the myths. Follow the facts. Let the evidence speak. In this episode, we talk about: His nearly 50‑year journey in paranormal investigation Why he rejects metaphysical explanations in favor of grounded research Behind‑the‑scenes stories from his documentaries The founding and evolution of the Louisville Ghost Hunters His upcoming series Bourbon Spirits What still keeps him chasing the unexplained after all these years If you love paranormal history, documentary filmmaking, or no‑nonsense investigation, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

    Season 2 Episode 6 Author Christine Frisina_ An Inheritance of Stories

    Christine Frisina writes from a place where memory, legacy, and courage intersect. Her “Lost” series began as a gift to her granddaughters as a way to show them that the impossible is often just the beginning. But the deeper she wrote, the more she realized these stories weren’t only for them. They were for anyone standing at the edge of their own unknown. Encouraged by industry legends and guided by trusted friends, Christine stepped fully into authorship with Lost in Japan, a story born from lived experience and the quiet determination that shapes a family across generations. That book opened the door to Lost in Silicon Valley, and now to her most personal work yet: Lost in Hollywood, the story of David Frisina—concertmaster, recording studio musician, and son of an Italian immigrant who arrived at Ellis Island in 1900 with nothing but a violin and a future. At the heart of Christine’s writing is a single question that continues to call her forward: “What does your inheritance require of you?” Through her books and conversations, Christine explores how the people who came before us—whether tender, distant, or difficult—shape the stories we are meant to tell. Her work is an invitation to look backward with honesty, and forward with purpose. This podcast follows Christine as she uncovers the threads of family, history, artistry, and identity that weave through her life and her writing. It’s about the courage to keep going, the responsibility of legacy, and the unexpected places we find ourselves when we follow the stories that refuse to let us go.
