0:00.0	You're in the Paracast, the gold standard of paranormal radio.
0:28.1	And now, here's Gene Steinberg.
0:32.4	Now, going back in the history of the Paracast, back to 2012,
0:45.4	we featured an interview with David Politis talking about strange disappearances along with the late J.C. Johnson.
0:52.4	A fascinating episode, and I have no idea why this is a subject we have not explored again. I mean, in recent weeks, we've talked about the UFO phenomenon,

1:57.4	right now. I feel safe. It's hard to be safe these days. I was just looking
2:04.2	here. The cover design of your book, Steve Stockton, is from disgruntled, dystopian publications.
2:12.6	Now, that's the name for a designer. Yeah, the guy who does the cover art here is just fantastic.
2:18.9	I love what he came up with.
2:20.3	I had just a rough idea, and that was the first thing he came back with, and I'm like, that's it.
