Have you spent the last five years missing The X Files<\/em><\/a>?<\/p>\n

The technology of Internet broadcasting is not just for Pagan music shows<\/a>. If, like me, you don’t stay up for Coast to Coast AM<\/em><\/a> to get your occasional paranoid conspiracy fix, try some of these:<\/p>\n

• Journeys with Rebecca<\/a> offers such content as “UFOs: God from Inner Space”<\/a> (free download). Angel hair, ectoplasm, mediumship–it’s the 1870s again! Put on something violet, light some candles . . .<\/p>\n

• The Paracast<\/a> offers “a world beyond science” interviewing long-term paranormal researchers such as “The Truthseeker at Roswell”<\/a>. Probably the most listenable.<\/p>\n

• The Jerry Pippin Show<\/a> is big on conspiracies, all the “9\/11 was an inside job” etc. “Conspiracy is a not a theory, but a reality of our daily life.” (Warning: terrible Web design ahead.)<\/p>\n

• Fate<\/em> magazine archives the Hilly Rose Show<\/a>, one of the classics of “high strangeness.” There is a Fate<\/em> blog, too<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And don’t forget that this summer is the 60th anniversary of the alleged Roswell, New Mexico, flying saucer crash<\/a>. Or it might have been a balloon after all. People are still talking<\/a> and a new alien theme park is planned<\/a>. Or should that be “alien-themed”?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
