They'll be talking about Russia's Roswell among other things. I love UFO programs ;D

I'll be listening.  Knapp is the only host I can tolerate.

I see that the show will include Ed Komarek, among others talking to Knapp.  I don't think Komarek has been on "Coast" before.
I will listen if only to see how Knapp handles that guy, particularly to see what the contrast will be to how "The Paracast" handled him twice.   I figure Knapp will set his usual example of handling fairly far-out stuff with equanimity -- unlike how they handled the guy on "Paracast."
Sort of by definition, you usually can't offer hard evidence of "secret conspiracies," which is what Komarek will likely be talking about.   I think Knapp gets that and will entertain such circumstantial evidence as Komarek and similar people can try to offer.    "Paracast" deals with such topics too, but it grated on me (twice) to hear those guys seem to really bear down on Komarek for some reason, for not having physical evidence for his suggestion that the Nazis et al had advanced alien-derived technology in the '40s, and to essentially make fun of him for citing admittedly second- and third-hand sources that pointed in that direction.
Call me paranoid (what's new around here?) but I have a hunch that ol' "Brooklyn Gene" Steinberg has a not-too-subtle bug up his ass for anyone with a Southern accent (like Komarek).

So try not to think of it as a homework assignment if I ask you folks to listen for whether Komarek comes across as particularly "far-out" to you, by the standards of "Coast"-y guests and topics.

I'll be tuned in tonight.  Will keep an ear out for Komarek.  Still haven't checked out the paracast yet but I was thinking I may hop over tonight for asswipe bara.

Actually, he was on last night (live).  You can still download it / listen online though.
The first 10 minutes of that show were pretty good, as Chris O'Brien reported on the UFOlogy convention he'd been to-- and it wasn't a pretty picture.

gah... I always screw up show dates... I should know that in my head 3am sunday is technically labelled saturday night...

Then I think I'll do something I haven't done in months: listen.

good as usual, but having so many different guests on after each other reduces the time and depth possible for each one.
might have been better to spread the guests out over two or more shows and give them each more time.

the last hour with the Australian UFO researcher plus callers was probably the best part last night.
he told about Australian's equivalent debunker group to that of CSICOP in the USA, same debunking attitude apparently and 'ole Phil Klass was mentioned as the typical example of such debunkers.
