A year and a half ago, our good friend Richard Haddam launched a long overdue podcast of his own

on The Astonishing Legends Network. Since then, Richard Haddam's paranormal bookshelf has just

under a quarter million listens and is growing rapidly. We've had the great pleasure of watching

the show come into its own as Rich hones it into one of the most unique paranormal-oriented podcasts out there. There's truly nothing quite like it. Rich has been the

impetus for many of our favorite series over the years, introducing us to books we were not

previously familiar with, like the Vertical Plain, or the Siren Call of Hung of hungry ghosts, helping us to bring you some

tales from the darker side of the paranormal veil. His personal collection of first editions in

this realm is staggering, and it's hard to imagine who wouldn't want to sit down and hear

about every single book on his shelf, and that includes us. So tonight, while we're in the throes of research

for our next main show in a few weeks, we wanted to invite Rich back to Blanket Fortiana to talk

about the first two and a half seasons of his show, some of our favorite episodes of his,

and ask him some questions about not only what he is covered, but what he is about to cover between

now and the end of the year.

Welcome back to Astonishing Legends. I'm Scott Philbrook, and this is Richard Haddam,

talking about Whitley Streber's abduction experience in his infamous book, Communion.

When he looks around the room he is in, he makes an extremely uncommon observation that I've

never heard in any other UFO story. He describes the room he is in as messy.

Join us tonight with our OG guest, Richard Haddam, a philosophical anchor in the astonishing

legends universe.
