This author claims the answer is yes!]]>

Jerry E. Smith

Are government and business interests manipulating the weather for “fun and profit”? Author Jerry E. Smith thinks so and he shares his theories with us on tonight’s show.  One of our longest shows ever, if I do say so myself it is a fascinating program.

Here are links to some of Jerry’s books on Amazon.com:

Weather Warfare

Haarp: The Ultimate Weapon of the Conspiracy (The Mind-Control Conspiracy Series)

Here is a link to Jerry’s site for your perusal:  Jerryesmith.com

Thanks Jerry!

UPDATE: Unfortunately, Jerry passed away in March 2010 but we were grateful to have had the opportunity to interview him shortly before he fell ill. Godspeed Jerry and Rest In Peace.

UPDATE: The contest has ended.  Thanks to all who participated.

This was so popular last time we did it we are doing it again.

We wanted to get folks excited about promoting the show so this is what we devised. We have quite a few paranormal books here at the studios that we are finished with but that are in great condition so we thought we’d have a little fun once again.

Here is your assignment should you choose to accept it:

1. If you enjoy The Paranormal Podcast and/or Jim Harold’s Campfire and are 18 or older go right now and do something tangible online to promote it…post a blurb about on applicable online communities (Twitter, Facebook, myspace, online paranormal websites) where folks into this topic matter connect (no spamming please)

2. Email your friends (who are into the paranormal) a note about the show with a link to JimHarold.com (again, no spamming)

3. Tell your friends who you actually interface with in person (imagine that in this day & age)!  I know a lot of people enjoy paranormal radio & TV shows but don’t even know that programs like The Paranormal Podcast and Campfire are available free of charge on the net!  Log them on, burn them a CD, show them the way!

4.  Click on the ShareThis link under our show posts and spread the paranormal goodness!

4.  Keep your promotional activities legal, ethical and please act within the guidelines of good taste and common sense.

5. Send an email to paranormalpodcast@gmail.com with the subject “Big Book Contest 2″ and a description of what you did to promote the show(s)

Voila!  You will be entered in a random drawing to win a grab bag of assorted paranormal books courtesy of The Paranormal Podcast that will be shipped to you at no cost.  Sorry, but due to the realities of shipping we can only extend this to our US listeners. You MUST be 18 or older to participate.  The deadline is 12am (US ET), May 11th.

Finally, even if you don’t promote the show you can send in your note and we will still enter you in the drawing — but that wouldn’t be any fun, would it?

Alison Baughman

Numerologist Alison Baughman teaches about the art and, she would say, the science of numerology.

Author Donald Tyson tells us about the ancient art of divination called Scrying. A fascinating and “off the beaten path” interview, I found it very interesting.

Nick Pope ran the British Government’s UFO program at the Ministry of Defense.  He started out as a skeptic but he ended up in a very different place.  We discuss his work in his governmental role and his current research on UFOs.

We discuss Near Death Experiences with one of the preeminent researchers on the topic, P.M.H. Atwater.  She herself has “died” three times so, as you can imagine, she has a lot to say on the topic.

We review her epic work on the subject, and you can check out the paperback version at Amazon.com:

The Big Book of Near Death Experiences: The Ultimate Guide to What Happens When We Die

Visit her website at pmhatwater.com

To a fascinating guest, thanks P.M.H. Atwater!

I would like to introduce an addition to the family — our new podcast, Jim Harold’s Campfire

After the great reaction from our recent ghost story episode, I thought it would be a lot of fun to have a show dedicated to your stories of encounters with the paranormal.  It will be a couple weeks until we get everything up and running but stay tuned.  Please email me at paranormalpodcast@gmail.com if you want to be on a future show.

We will have a separate feed for this program so you will be able to subscribe to it independently of The Paranormal Podcast.  And, on that topic, the new show will not interfere with our mainstay, The Paranormal Podcast.  It will remain the center of all we do.

Thanks for your continuing support.  Without it, we couldn’t take this step forward.  We hope you’ll like the new show.
