About Today's Guest:
Whitley Strieber is the author of over forty works of both fiction and nonfiction. In 1985, Whitley had a close encounter of the third kind. It led to the writing of the epic bestseller Communion that changed the way the world thinks about this enigmatic experience. When he eventually realized that the experience could not be attributed to known factors, he began making an effort to recontact what he calls “the visitors.” The response has been ongoing for the past thirty years, and has been chronicled in Communion, Transformation, Majestic, and A New World. Many people have encountered the visitors with Whitley, placing it among the most witnessed paranormal events in history.
His website, unknowncountry.com, is among the largest in the world dealing with paranormal phenomena and his podcast, Dreamland, has been produced weekly for twenty years.
His latest book is Them.

| 0:00.0 | Alright guys, so before we dive in, I just have to mention that without my normal setup |
| 0:05.5 | in my usual place, we had a couple small issues with this one. |
| 0:09.7 | Mainly, just that my system that records guests from their browser missed the first minute |
| 0:15.0 | or two on Whitley's side. |
| 0:17.1 | So sadly for me, you don't hear how complimentary he was about my intro, or how appreciative |
| 0:22.9 | he was to those I mentioned for contributing to and or endorsing his latest book. |
| 0:28.9 | Let's say Lavi, to make it work, I had to just string the first few things I said together |
| 0:33.7 | in a not so awkward way, and come in where the file starts. |

| 0:51.3 | pretty quickly and everything about this overall really interesting and weird episode returns |
| 0:56.3 | to normalcy. |
| 0:58.1 | That said, enjoy! |
| 1:59.1 | Hallelujah, higher side chatters. |
| 2:02.5 | This is the way from the Sunshine State, I'm Greg Carlwood. |
| 2:06.5 | And what we can know about the experiences of those who have high strangeness encounters |
| 2:10.7 | with otherworldly or extra-dimensional beans, either on a routine basis or a random one, |
| 2:16.2 | is actually quite a lot if you pursue a personal understanding of it all, but at the same time, |
| 2:21.6 | it's not nearly enough. |
| 2:23.4 | The conclusions of experiencers themselves range from these beans wanting to warn us about |
