June 8, 2025 — Cohost Tillie Treadwell with Artemaeus Treadwell
With cohost Tim Swartz on "Special Assignment," Gene presents a genuine paranormal power couple, Tillie Treadwell and Artemaeus Treadwell. Tillie, who is our guest cohost on this episode, is an American author and experiencer. Her very earliest memories include what seem to be paranormal encounters, and the other side has always played a central role in her life. She was co-lead of an exorcist and investigative team with the Catholic church, has worked as an independent tarot interpreter, healer, medium and advisor, and today is an author for Zontar Press, a publishing house run by Tim R. Swartz, co-host on The Paracast. She also writes for Outer Limits Magazine and The Quad Coalition of Sciences. Notably, later this year a piece of hers will appear in a new book by Malcolm Robinson of SPI in the UK, and she is currently hard at work on several other book inclusions and some standalone volumes with Zontar Press. Artemaeus is an American experiencer. After meeting Tillie, his life took thousands of unforeseen, unforgettable turns, from witnessing her psychic abilities, to bumping into a faerie, meeting mimics, dark entities, maybe an Egyptian god or two, seeing UFOs and strange planetary behavior and more. At home, extreme electrical events, strange scientific anomalies, apports and disappearing objects, time glitches and the Mandela Effect are positively common events. Bizarrely, his foray into the deep paranormal has transformed his personality, beliefs and understanding of psychology, reality and life in measures and ways no short of miraculous.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.

May 25, 2025 — Film Historian Gary D. Rhodes
Gene and cohost Tim Swartz feature Gary D. Rhodes. He is a renowned film historian and author with a passion for uncovering the forgotten stories of horror cinema. He’s a world expert on Bela Lugosi and Dracula, and will reveal the secrets of the tragic life story of this world-famous horror film legend. He will also talk about his book, "Weirdumentary: Ancient Aliens, Fallacious Prophecies, and Mysterious Monsters From 1970s Documentaries." The book unlocks the secrets of the strangest cinematic phenomenon of the 1970s. It's the ultimate guide to the bizarre, the unexplained, and the wildly entertaining films and television programs that blurred the line between fact and fantasy. "Weirdumentary" examines dozens of movies and TV series, sold to the unsuspecting public as documentaries, beginning with "Chariots of the Gods" (1970) and ending with "The Man Who Saw Tomorrow" (1981). Leonard Nimoy’s "In Search Of" makes an appearance, and so does Orson Wells in his late-career role of sinister yet skeptical narrator. Although listeners to The Paracast know about their factual basis, many of these shows and movies featured spurious experts, questionable evidence, and low-budget dramatization. Acclaimed comic book artist, writer, and historian Stephen R. Bissette, best known for his groundbreaking work on DC Comics' "Swamp Thing" alongside Alan Moore, provides the foreword.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.
