Voice Of The Unexplained

摘要

You were hosting a political talk show before you jumped to the supernatural. What inspired the switch? I was crushingly bored talking about politics 30 hours a week. So one day I said, "The hell with it," and I brought on John Lear, a very outspoken ufologist. The audiencejust went nuts! The phones lit up. How did your bosses react? They had heart attacks. But when the ratings came in, we were overwhelmingly number one. I was lucky because the show was on at night. There's a different breed of person awake at those hours. And the world is a quieter place, with less to distract us from esoteric thought. I think-no, I'm sure-Coast to Coastwouldn't work with a daytime audience. Why are people so drawn to the paranormal? The same reason we're drawn to God. The greatest question of all is whether our experience on this planet is "it" or whetherthere is something else. Things in the supernatural realm give support, strangely perhaps, to the things we take on faith. Like ghosts, for example-they underscore the possibility of an afterlife.
