    SPECIAL BONUS EPISODE - The Close Encounters Man with Mark O'Connell
    May 9 2025
    NEW RHPB SEASON 3 PREMIERE DATE -- FRIDAY JUNE 13TH!

    In this Special Bonus Episode, Richard catches up with good friend and writer Mark O’Connell, author of the modern UFO classic The Close Encounters Man: How One Man Made the World Believe in UFOs -- the wildly entertaining story of J. Allen Hynek, the astronomer who invented the concept of "Close Encounters" with alien life, inspired Steven Spielberg’s classic film and made an entire nation want to believe in UFOs. Mark’s new book, The Year Science Changed Everything: 1957's International Geophysical Year and the Future of Our Planet is out now.

    Richard and Mark talk about everything from Steven Spielberg to Carl Sagan; from skeptics to believers; from the Abominable Snowman to Jurassic Park; and from Donald Fagen to dancing aliens! Plus -- a Jacques Valleé bombshell you won’t believe!

    SPECIAL BONUS EPISODE: Living with Ghosts
    Apr 18 2025
    What does it actually feel like to be a psychic medium? What is it like to have ghosts be a constant part of your otherwise normal life? Cindy Valenzuela and Colleen McKinnie can tell you -- because they are both in touch with the spirit world every day. They are both wives and mothers, they have professional careers -- and they can communicate with those who have passed on. In our conversation, we’ll find out the scariest part of being a medium, what to do when your kid starts demonstrating psychic abilities, how these talents affect your belief in life after death -- and ultimately, what is it like to die?
    Cindy Valenzuela is a school psychologist in Los Angeles County, who works testing and counseling special needs students. She and her husband also write, produce and star in the YouTube supernatural travel series Ghost Tourist. Colleen McKinnie is a fashion tech entrepreneur and a full-time mom. Colleen now also works as an intuitive guide and psychic medium.
