Paratopia/Black Fridays Crossover Special
Friday Apr 11, 2025
Friday Apr 11, 2025
This is a crossover special between The Black Fridays podcast and Paratopia hosted by Jeremy Vaeni, Wes Owsley, and Stacy Lowery. Together, they interview NARCAP's Ted Roe and Dr. Richard Haines who were saying "UAP" long before it was cool. This is a discussion about their Project Sphere report on spherical UAP. But first, The Jer has a little something to say on The Trickster. (originally aired in 2010. Maybe have been a subscriber special.)

Paratopia Zero: Parapurge
Friday Apr 04, 2025
Friday Apr 04, 2025
This is the unreleased, never-before-heard midweek special that breaks down Jeff's reasons for the falling out between Paracast host and once good friend, Dave Biedny, and Jeff Ritzmann. We decided not to release it back in 2010 for a few reasons that are irrelevant now. Jeff and Dave have both passed away. Dave told his side on another show back then.
This is not meant to stir up old controversy or bad feelings. I have none toward Dave, may he rest in peace. This is for the Paratopia completist who was confused as to why we couldn't all just get along, and it's one more chance to hear from Jeff. Unfortunately, not on the topics of the paranormal.

Paratopia: Epilogue To The Epilogues
Friday Mar 28, 2025
Friday Mar 28, 2025
The Jer talks to Emma Woods about a recent odd experience involving abduction-related and hallucinatory phenomena. Together, they discuss whether one's state of consciousness during an abduction differs if it's physical or nonphysical. If so, do phenomena surrounding an experience differ? All of this is couched in Oliver Sacks' book, Hallucinations.
Then, The Jer gets into his meditative experience from just last night and discusses some new twists on Trickster and the abduction scenario. (originally aired: 03.01.2013)

Friday Mar 21, 2025
The Jeff & The Jer run down a brief list of things gone wrong in ufology since Paratopia left the internets. Then, The Jeff looks back on his recent dive back into UFO photo analysis and the public response to it. Next, The Jer tosses out a new hypothesis about the meaning behind the devastating and frightening images and experiences in abductions. Finally, the hosts update us on the strangeness in their lives (Are dream weavers the new puckwudgie?), give a Project Core update, and The Jeff talks about his new radio show, Paranormal Waypoint. Oh, and then something about the unknown and the unconscious. Yep, from bolts to nuts on, this one's got it all! (originally aired: 12.10.2012)

Jeff & Jer run from their past straight into the future with this, the final installment of the weekly podcast. But before they go, they leave you with a high strangeness theory that incorporates some of the concepts Jeff, Jer, and Tiokasin have brought to you over the last few weeks and through the years. This one could turn ufological, paranormal, and psychic research on their ears if researchers had the guts to listen. (originally aired: 06.14.2012)
