Across the UK and around the world on the internet, my webcast and podcast, my name is Howard Hughes, and this is the unexplained.

Really good to be here, happy new year, let me be the last person to say that to you, but we are now into 2008.

And you know, I have a little rule for myself, I wonder if you have this too, that I never make predictions about a new year.

I never say this is going to be a great year, or this is going to be a year of change, or this is going to be a year of X, Y, or Z.

I'm not that foolish, I don't think I have that kind of sight, there are people who do make predictions, and some of them are good, and some of them are not.

But I always like to think it's almost a superstition with me, better to just let it come, bring it on.

Let's see what happens, and if we all of us collectively think that it's going to be good, then who knows it may well be.

Special guest on this show, David Ikees coming up in a moment.

I hope you enjoyed the two shows that we put on the website across Christmas, those were the shows with Richard C. Hoagland, Space Expert.

A man with a book out at the moment that's doing very well both sides of the Atlantic called Dark Mission, to deal with NASA conspiracy theories.

And also the special we did with James Van Prague, American medium, who is he tells me coming to the UK this year.

So let's hope that we can welcome him to a studio, or I'll go to him wherever he is in the UK when he gets over here.

And him fascinating, and I know you did too.

Now this show is picking up listeners all over the world. I've had recent reports from places like New Zealand, a Singapore, China, Spain, Sweden, South Africa.

I mentioned South America, Brazil, we've had reports from there, Canada, and right across the good old United States.

And of course, all over the UK picking up listeners all the time and I'm very grateful to you.

Now what I need you to do is to contact the show, let me know that you are listening and tell me what you think about it, how it can be improved, and what other subjects we might cover on it.

There is a new way to contact the show, the old email address is not going to work. So there was a link to a different email address from the one I'm about to give you.

The current email address and the one that I will be using into the foreseeable future is this unexplained HH at Yahoo.co.uk.

That's unexplained HH at Yahoo.co.uk. Please email me good to hear from you wherever you are. I'm always grateful to get emails.

The website is www.theunexplained.tv. If you found this show through iTunes and you haven't seen the website, I'll be very grateful if you just go across and visit it.

See what's there. There will be more on the website as the year goes by.
