Paratopia Episode 25: Marginality, Anti-Structure and the Paranormal with George Hansen

George Hansen returns to Paratopia for an in-depth look into marginality and anti-structure and it’s relationship to everything from UFOs to ghosts, and those who are involved in the paranormal. Join Jeff and Jeremy for a thought provoking and provocative discussion with George Hansen…this is one not to miss!

George P. Hansen was professionally employed in parapsychology laboratories for eight years—three at the Rhine Research Center in Durham, North Carolina, and five at Psychophysical Research Laboratories in Princeton, New Jersey.  His experiments included remote viewing, card guessing, ganzfeld, electronic random number generators, séance phenomena, and ghosts.  He has been active in a number of psychic, UFO, and New Age organizations, and he helped found a skeptics group.

His papers in scientific journals cover mathematical statistics, fraud and deception, the skeptics movement, conjurors in parapsychology, and exposés of hoaxes.  He is a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians.

Visit George Hansen’s website for more information or to buy his book “The Trickster and the Paranormal”. You may also contact the author via his website.

Crickets…and Jeff and Jeremy…

This weeks podcast is rather light, due to a technical difficulty beyond our control. It’s all sorted, but a bit too late to re-record our interview with our guest. However, we never let our listeners go hungry…so Jeff ate something, Jer reads from a book, and crickets ensued.

Back next week with a great guest…we shall never speak of this again.
