McNab, Blain Watters, and Robert LaRonde of the Rewatchability podcast. Rewatchability is a comedic pop-culture podcast focusing on the movies and TV shows of the recent past.

Night Shyamalan. Ryan joined them to give his "alien expertise" and to give his honest opinions of this highly anticipated film. Did it live up to ufological standards? Did the entire group think it was rewatchable?

On episode 113 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by experiencer researcher and witness testimony preserver, NK Kranda. She walks us through her process of interviewing witnesses and experiencers of both UFO and anomalous phenomena. How has her work in psychology, PTSD, and trauma helped her in speaking with witnesses? What are her thoughts on hypnosis regression when trying to uncover suppressed memories? We also hear a few anonymous stories from her archives and just exactly where experiencer preservation lay in the overall study and investigation of UFOs and beyond. It's a powerful interview you won't soon forget.Guest Bio: NK Kranda is a southern California native now living in Texas. She went to school for Horticulture Sciences and graduated with highest honors. She then continued her education in the fields of psychology, PTSD and trauma therapies, art, biology, psychics, history, and shamanism. She currently works in experiencer research and preservation and has the honor of interviewing some of the most incredible people the field has to offer. Her interest in contactees and experiencers began when she volunteered as a MUFON chapter secretary in San Antonio. After writing way too many reports, she found her true interests were in the people that quietly came to meetings to tell an incredible story. She taught them to fight stigma, to never stop telling their story, and to honor themselves because they survived.

On episode 109 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we bring you another powerful volume of witness accounts. UFO sightings and otherworldly encounters are life-altering experiences. They challenge our perception, our beliefs, and recalibrate our entire journey in a world we often think is paved out for us. But the accounts in this episode certainly prove otherwise for those who looked up into the skies and realized that the map was yet to be fully navigated.
