August 8, 2021 — Red Pill Junkie
Gene and Randall present prolific Fortean writer/researcher Red Pill Junkie (Miguel Romero). In this episode, RPJ will discuss the latest scuttlebutt in the UFO field, including the possible implications of the recent Pentagon UAP Task Force, and whether it’ll bring us any closer to a solution to the mystery. Agnostic gnostic, walking conundrum and metaphysical oxymoron (with emphasis — by his own admission — on the “moron” part ), the mysterious RPJ leaves a double life: By day he serves as Grand Master in the International Sacred Order of Lucha Libre. At night he pursues his life-long study of everything mysterious and/or “paranormal.” When he’s not exploring the web looking for his daily fix of Forteana, he can be found making artsy stuff, fooling around on social media, or offering his services as writer and news administrator at The Daily Grail.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.
