Across the UK, across continental North America and around the world on the internet,

I webcast and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes and this is The Unexplained.

Well, a few things to say, before we get to the guest, Damon T. Barry, on this edition,

the first one is thank you very much for being with me on my journey during 2016.

I don't mean that to sound grand in any way, but in many ways it has been a journey this

was the year the show got back in one form on the radio and continued to develop with

my webmaster Adam Cornwell's help online.

So from the point of view of The Unexplained, it has been a very good year, but none of

it can happen without you.

Thank you very much for your support, for understanding me and understanding what I'm all about.

It's really marvelous the way you've done that.

I know I've said this before in some forms, but look, you don't know me, you've never met

me.

You know that I'm some guy, if you're in the UK, you might have heard me on the radio

doing news and various things over the years.

If you're in the US, you're not going to know me from anything.

But you seem to understand me.

Thank you very much indeed.

I'm a guy doing something that I've always wanted to do.

For reasons that I don't quite understand some of us just, you know, we have to communicate.

And that's me.

It's always been what I've been about ever since I was a kid in Liverpool.
