Across the UK and around the world on the internet, by webcast and podcast, my name is Howard Hughes, and this is the Return of the Unexplained.

Thank you for coming back to the show. Thank you for keeping faith with us. I know we haven't done any shows here for about six or eight weeks.

Good reason for that. I've been doing talk and news radio up and down the UK in different places as we come to the end of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

The end of winter in the beginning of summer in the Southern Hemisphere, but I've been working in different places and having a real blast getting back on air and doing things.

One of the radio stations I worked at was a terrific talk station in my home city of Liverpool called City Talk.

One of the shows I did there was the biggest overnight phone in the biggest late night phone in outside London in the UK.

A huge talk program called the Pete Price Show. Pete Price was off for a while, so I filled in for him.

And the boss at City Talk said to me, why don't you do the Unexplained?

After midnight, on a couple of these nights, so for several of the nights, we actually turned the show into the Unexplained and rolled it out across Mercyside, the Northwest and North Wales and also to a huge listening audience as I discovered online as well.

And the boss kindly gave me permission to use some of that material here on this website right now.

So by kind permission of City Talk Radio in Liverpool, thank you to Richard and everybody there for this.

Here's the Unexplained in August 2008 as it appeared on City Talk Radio.

Richard C. Hoagland knows NASA inside out. Why because he worked there?

Richard C. Hoagland covered the Moon missions on television in the US with Walter Cronkite, the famous American newscaster, the man who they said was more trustworthy than the president at one point when Nixon was in.

Now, this man has fantastic credentials, so I'm going to stop talking about him now and get him on. Richard, how are you?

Good morning, Howard.

What do you think about the buildup then, Mr. Hoagland?

Not bad, not bad. Who was the very, very, um, avuncular BBC anchor man that used to work for years and years and years and years ago?

Richard Dimbleby, was that his name?

Yes, very famous. He's got two sons who were also in the media because when I worked with Walter, I also briefly worked with Mr. Dimbleby.

Wow. And what was he like to work with because there's a slight side track, but Richard Dimbleby was the equivalent of your Edward R. Murrow, I think.

Exactly. A very heavy, weight-broadcaster in every sense of the world.
