You're in the Paracast, the gold standard of paranormal radio.

And now, here's Gene Steinberg.

You know, I'm always interested in how people pick names or online handles for forums and such.

I remember this back in the days on it was on America Online,

and people would pick names that sometimes had nothing whatever to do with their personality.

But they chose it anyway.

I used my real name.

Originally it was Gene S3 on AOL.

I can say that now because eventually, although that name is disappeared into oblivion now,

they gave me the name Gene because the original Gene quit the service.

And I was working as a foreign leader, and I got a call from the producer, and he said,

the name is available, get it.

And I did.

So I've always been known as my real name, except on one forum I call myself Captain Marvel.

And I understand the current Captain Marvel is a female character, but I was thinking of the original Shazam,

you know.

Marvell.

Marvell.

Marvell, yes, Captain Marvel.

Captain Marvell.

But they had this copyright stuff in the 50s, so that's why, after all that, they can

call the character Shazam, which is what Billy Batson says to become Captain Marvel.
