Welcome to Binnall of America, known by those in the know as "BoA." We are a conglomerate of minds from throughout America, covering the world of the esoteric (i.e. "paranormal", "new age", "parapolitical", etc.) and the coverage of said world.
Binnall, your humble podcast host, focuses on esoterica at large, Ufology, Cryptozoology, and posesses a keen interest in the history and sociology of esoterica itself.
Episode #505 - 12/23/09 - BoA:Audio celebrates the season with the holiday tradition like no other, as we welcome the "Father of Modern Day Ufology" Stanton Friedman for the 5th Annual BoA:Audio Holiday Special. In the first half of the program, we'll get an update on what he's been up to this last year, including a teaser for his next book Science is Wrong. We'll also get his thoughts on the passing of Ufological legend Dick Hall and Stanton shares a number of stories from his many years interacting with him. From there, we'll also discuss what Stanton sees as his own legacy in the world of UFO studies and we'll also discuss the Exopolitical movement and the "disclosure meme" that has been growing over the past year or so.
Episode #504 - 12/16/09 - BoA:Audio explores the world of arcane science in the unexpected locale of Disneyland with Walter Bosley, author of Latitude 33: Key to the Kingdom. Bosley will detail his research into ley lines, for lack of a better term, and how the Magic Kingdom sits atop an intersection of three such lines. Going even deeper down the rabbit hole, he'll reveal the amazing background behind Disneyland's construction and how it was all engineered by a former SRI employee who may have had access to such arcane scientific knowledge. We'll also find out about the stunning information imparted to him by his father about Roswell and alien races as well as delve into Bosley's past as an AFOSI agent.
Episode #503 - 12/09/09 - One of the hardest working researchers in all of Ufology, Peter Davenport, returns to BoA:Audio for a discussion on the National UFO Reporting center and the world of Ufology. Peter will provide us with updates on his move to a decommissioned missile site in Washington state as well as what has been going on with the NUFORC since our last conversation three years ago. We'll revisit how he became director of the NUFORC in 1994, how the hotline has changed in the last 15 years, the pros and cons of both the emergence of the Internet as well as cell phones, his dealings with other UFO groups and the issues surrounding sharing of case reports, the woeful coverage of UFOs by the mainstream media, and some noteworthy trends and cases from the last few years. We'll also hear about Peter's 1997 meeting with government officials who were very interested in the information he's collected at the NUFORC. This re-telling of the fascinating event is a must-hear for any serious student of Ufology as it provides an amazing potential glimpse into the government's stance on UFOS.
Episode #502 - 12/02/09 - BoA:Audio welcomes prolific esoteric researcher Joshua Warren for a jam session covering a plethora of paranormal topics. We'll be delving into Joshua's latest book The Secret Wisdom of the Kukulkan, his research into "phantimals," his investigation of hoaxes and why it is important to study them, his recent foray into Ufology, his trips to Puerto Rico looking for mystery crypids and studying island legends, his film Inside the Church of Satan, the bizarre and terrifying "demon serial-rapist of Zanzibar," and tons more.
Episode #501 - 11/24/09 - BoA:Audio smashes the champagne bottle on our landmark 5th season with our annual premiere guest: the incomparable Jim Marrs. We'll be discussing a myriad of esoteric topics including the JFK assassination, Ufology and the UFO phenomenon, 911 and the 911 Truth Movement, the present state of political affairs in America, secret societies, the potential "road sign" conspiracy, John Titor, and 2012. Unlike in previous years, where we focused on Jim's most recently published book, this year's conversation takes on more of a "jam session" feel and really runs the gamut of esoteric genres.
