Podding Away


I said I would get around to writing a bit about the BOT podcast with guest Alfred Lehmberg and so I will. Hosted by Jeremy Vaeni, another troublemaker. What can I say though? Al and I pretty much agree on everything, at least so far as what was talked about in the podcast, so I have no bones to pick. I was happy to hear Al bringing Terence McKenna, Rupert Sheldrake and others into the conversation. It is doubtful the true nuts and bolt types will appreciate it, but I did. I also found it interesting that Al tried to explain his writing style. There is some sort of controversy over the way Al writes that I have never quite understood. I suppose poetic verse is not everyone's cup o' tea and maybe not what they expect to come across when looking into ufo subject matter, but they should be pleasantly surprised. I personally think it is much nicer than reading my flair-less babble and the artwork that goes along with it is lovely too. So what is the problem? Damned if I know. Is Al right and they just pretend not to understand it? Quite possibly at least some are pretending, not to mention faking outrage over the way things are written. Those would be the ones who understand it perfectly and just don't agree with it.

Now onto Jeremy's other podcast, Culture of Contact. Jeremy is only getting so much PR because he chose to interview two of my friends (internet friends are friends) and he did a pretty good job of it too. The Live from the Zorgies show was hilarious. Dropping by were Paul Kimball, Tim Binnall and Alfred Lehmberg. It was really funny and I mean that in a good way. The interview with Regan Lee was a bit more serious, but fun as well. I do believe that is the closest I have ever heard a person come to saying they have been abducted without actually saying it. Kudos to Regan on that! It is a thin line to walk. I was shocked to hear Regan say that she doesn't want to see a bigfoot. I would love to see a bigfoot and just assumed that Regan would too.

There you go, enough entertainment for a winter night by the fire.
