Show notes

After more than two decades behind the microphone, Sandman takes a step back from the mysteries and reflects on one of the biggest years in the history of the ParaReality Podcast. Join us as we celebrate 350 episodes, the return of Eric as co-host, the move to weekly episodes, multiple Podcast Excellence Awards, international podcast rankings, the publication of two new books, and an exciting year of conference appearances across Tennessee and Kentucky. Sandman also discusses Season 20's deep dive into the UFO phenomenon, interviews with leading researchers including Brent Raynes, Brent Oldham, and Maxim Furek, the expansion of ParaReality into video, and what lies ahead for the future of the show. Whether you've been listening since the beginning or you're a new member of the ParaReality community, this special episode is a look back at how far we've come—and a look ahead at the mysteries still waiting to be explored. If you'll be attending the Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Conference, GoblinCon, or the West Kentucky Paranormal Expo, stop by, say hello, and share your story. It may become part of a future episode of ParaReality. The journey continues.
