Such a great show
The dude has spent his life dedicated to this stuff, and the proof is in the amazing depth of knowledge, as well as the truly heartwarming lifelong connections he has with so many of the guests. It’s a fun listen for us fringy weirdos

Screw GCN
Haven’t tuned in for awhile but hearing ads with Alex Jones. Seriously? GCN also asking for support be user of “cancel culture” in an ad. Time to say goodbye. I like the Paracast but can’t support this network. Bye.

Bad
As bad as Noorys hosting. These hosts couldn’t interview there was out of a w****house. Unethical shoving ads in every 3 minutes for 8 minutes in second half. Randall tried putting words in guests mouth and got called out. Awful

Awful
Bunch of old men, can barely string two thoughts together talking about things for the most part they have forgotten. Sounds like they need a nap and diaper change

Left Wing Mindless Drivel
One- it’s dry and bland, and pleae leave your left wing political commentary out of “paranormal.” Simply par for the course leftist hate speech. We can hear that on TV if we want to. Otherwise- it’s kinda “low energy, and bland. There isn’t even any creativity in the partisan hate sleech either.

Worse than Micah
God, So many of these offbrand podcasts are only good for late-night driving across the midwest. Intellectually weak and just not enlightening. Turn on some Country and crack the window-

Healthy skepticism
I have always enjoyed the Paracast. The bring on guests with all kinds of stories and experiences, giving many theories an opportunity to be presented. At the same time the hosts kindly and respectfully expect evidence to support guests claims.

Art bell this is not ...
When you aren’t jolted by the terrible ads every minute the host is hard to understand at times. It seems they’ve lost a step and there is no shame in turning off the mic for good. So many better podcasts out there skip this one.

Getting Bored
Can they talk about anything else besides UFOs?

Great Podcast!
Give this one a listen! These two have a variety of guests with interesting topics. The interviews play out as friendly conversations over a cup of coffee. Fast forward through the ads, not an issue! Great Podcast!

too many commercials!
More commercials than content. Absolutely terrible. Just awful.

Some content with a lot of commercials
The hosts constantly interrupt the guests for a ridiculous amount of commercials. There is no continuity to the show, and it might be tolerable if the hosts would mostly remain quiet but they must think they are pretty clever because they interject lame commentary at every turn before interrupting for another slew of commercials. It is a labor to listen to, especially compared to other podcasts of the same genre that are available.

Host gets political
I don’t listen to for political opinions. I have my own and don’t require his. Stop it.

Boring unless you like commercials!
I gave this a try, and couldn’t get through my 1st episode. The host has zero charisma, and neither did his guests. I had a hard time keep their voices separate from each other. The show is also heavily laced with ads. At one point there was a 5 minute+ ad break followed by 8 minutes of show content then almost another 6 minutes of ads. I gave up after an hour. Definitely not the gold standard of paranormal radio. Don’t listen while driving you might fall asleep.

This review will continue after another commercial break
Didn’t think it was possible to spend more time doing commercial breaks than the actual podcast great job!

Old liberals bickering about the paranormal
I love the paranormal. You name it: ETs, UFOs, Ghosts - all of it. But the beat way to ruin this genre is when old liberals clutch together and gripe like old farts in wet diapers over who’s more credible or what’s “nonsense.” It’s tiresome to listen to these guys anymore. I’m done.

Commercials, commercials and more commercials
Had to shut it off because there is an absurdly long commercial break every 5 minutes.

Why always UFOs?
It seems like 90% of the podcasts are about UFOs. Can you vary the subject matter?

Interesting info but too many ads...
Might as well watch the travel channel. - Worth a shot.

Ads up the ying yang
Too many lengthy ad breaks!!

What happened...
I haven’t listened in awhile & now I can hardly stand it :(

Too many commercials
Interesting guests and an effective interviewer, but the commercial breaks are so intrusive and long they really reduce my enjoyment of the show. In addition, the types of hard sell, high hype (think sham wow type hard sell) advertisers in the show are really annoying.

Too many commercials
This would be a good 4-5 star show except for the fact there seems to be as much time spent on commercials as time spent on content. Thank goodness for fast forward.

Right Wing Kook Ads
Good show except for having to listen to the idiotic Fascist conspiracy theorist advertising. They’re almost entertaining if not disturbing.

Conservatives Hate It - I’m In!
Look, there are tons of commercials, and he does veer off-topic into politics more than he used to, but the amount of Conservatives bashing it because he’s merely telling the truth they can’t handle is enough for me to stick it out. Stick to your fairy tales of AM radio if the truth hurts; if you want a good show, albeit with way too many commercials, this is your stop.

Hard to believe something so bad has been there so long
Aside from the poor hosting and lousy guests, this show has the worst commercials I’ve ever heard, and SO MANY of them. Thank God I can fast forward 4 minutes at a time, but by the second half of the show it’s 2 minutes of show and 4 minutes of commercials. When I accidentally hear them I want to poke my ears out to stop the pain. Attention advertisers, do you think anyone is really listening to those commercials you’re paying for? They’ll put any wacko on, it’s all about entertainment and ratings, they don’t believe in asking questions of their guests that might embarrass them, so don’t come here looking for info. There are other, so much better podcasts, don’t waste your time.

Please rescue Gene from the well
Good grief. Someone get Gene a mic to attach to his head phones. He sounds like he is on his phone speaker from across a room

Horrible
You guys sound like a bunch of bitter whiny UFO investigators. Here’s a concept start working with other investigators stop being jealous and shooting yourself in the foot. Sorry guys your old ways are out time to start working together.

Boring, Slow, Low Quality Guests.
The title says it all. Seems like this is to be a halfway decent podcast (never really good, but decent I guess). But recently it's really gone to crap. The guests are about as well informed as my dog who got parvovirus when he was a puppy (great dog, but he's a little show on the uptake), the host is an appeasing clown, and it's just not fun to listen to. I could have forgiven some of that and used this low effort podcast as something to fall asleep too (is FANTASTIC for that), but his constant "politics" (not really political disclose; just the average, expected, childish liberal name calling and buzzword parroting garbage) is really insulting. It should be insulting to anyone with a brain regardless of ideology. We're all Americans. You may not like YOUR PRESIDENT (But he's still your President, you Üntermenschen lol), but you don't need to alienate people who tried to tolerate this mess you call a podcast.

BS guests
In the latest episode the guest ( a paranormal researcher) says “I’m not an expert in anything”. So why is he on the show? 😂 ... the low quality of the guests on the show is one of the reasons I’m unsubscribing. Plus the guy said “absolutely” 50 times during the interview which was very annoying.

Will never listen again after many years. Tired of that left wing d-bag mocking President Trump and the millions of Americans who voted for him.

Deserve zero stars . . .
Not even worth one star. Trump-hating, mindless, holier-than-thou posers. I guess their searching for the truth doesn’t apply to the Clintons. Don’t waste your time with these dopes. You will learn nothing here, nor be entertained. Unless of course you’re smart enough to have voted against Trump.

Boring and chalked full of commercials
This podcast is so boring you almost welcome the commercials which is good cause there are a ton of them

Host rants about politics, not paranormal
Really had enough with the hate for conservatives and anyone who doesn’t tow the liberal, northeastern propaganda line. This podcast used to be about the paranormal. Now it’s about Gene, the host, and what he thinks of the rest of the nation and President Trump. Oh, and stupid commercials and talk about atheism. No thanks. It’s a shadow of its former self.

Breaks
If you enjoy commercial breaks this is a great podcast for you!

Unsubscribing
I’ve enjoyed this podcast for awhile now but this weekends episode was my last. I’m done with non political shows inserting snarky political comments. It’s not the first time and I let it go but I’m done. I’m not sure why liberals assume everyone thinks like they do but we don’t. It’s your show so do what you like and I’m not one of those people who get offended and demand things change for me like some but I am giving you the courtesy to let you know why I unsubbed. I think Gene is great btw! I will miss you.

Insufferable advertising
I listen to podcasts all day at work, and have never heard a pod with more ad breaks ruining the interviews and virtually making the content unlistenable. It’s unfortunate, because I enjoy this kind of content, and they have good guests, but they have decided to ruin the show with this format. They’ll try to annoy you to the point of paying for the commercial free version, but with dozens of free pods on the same topic, that’s a hard pass for me. Figure it out guys, maybe I’ll be back, but no time soon.

Really...?
This show has seriously gone so downhill. It has the potential to be a great podcast (again) with such amazing guests but the hosts sound like naysayer, overly skeptical, at times rude, old jaded men. This is not the energy Ufology needs. For example, the latest episode with Preston Dennet... I felt like a good portion of the interview you guys were sort of talking down to him and just sounding like a skeptic on a major media outlet. If you really can’t take an honest look at the ridiculous amount of evidence over the course of 50+ years to prove that yes the American government has craft, bodies, and have been back engineering alien craft at least since the 50s, and possibly in contact with et... well why are you even doing a podcast on the subject? I agree a healthy dose of skepticism is essential in ufology however that being said, after the length of time these guys have been at it I would hope for more open mindedness. Preston Dennet made them sound stupid in my opinion. Shout out to him for being a stellar ufologist and author.

Randall stinks
The Paracast has been going downhill since Chris O'Brien left it. The replacement co-host, Randall, is a total materialist and debunker. He calls himself a ufologist, but can't name one case he accepts as valid. Even worse, he constantly intejects he materialism and atheism. Gene has to be considered guilty by association as it is he who brought Randall aboard. I won't be renewing my subscription.

Not what it used to be
The show was great when David Biedney was still on it. After he left, it all went downhill. Now it’s just Steinberg constantly interjecting with pointless stories about the old days or movie references no one cares about. Don’t waste your time, and definitely don’t sign up for their forum unless you want daily spam emails from Steinberg begging for money.

Way too many commercials
Great topics but the commercials are excessive.

Political?
I was looking for a new podcast to listen to about the paranormal. I came across this one but the hosts were talking politics instead of the subject matter. It would have been fine if it was a quick comment but it got rudely immature. On to the next...

Love listening to commercials? Then this is for you!
If you love listening to long blocks of endless ads, then this is the podcast for you. Occasionally, a couple of guys interrupt to talk about paranormal stuff, but don’t worry - the string of ads are back in no time! Tune in to hear about show merchandise, life insurance, and my favorite - an herbal remedy that promises to work better on your clogged arteries than your doctor prescribed medication! 😳

A once great podcast that has over the course of time slid in mediocrity and commercialism.

Gold Standard?
In the last month or so there has been a downturn in the quality of the guests as well as the "guest co-hosts." Gene Steinberg is a subpar host, peppering the conversations with non sequiturs and questions that go NOWHERE. There are far too many commercials, the sound quality in general is poor, like it's being recorded in a bedroom not a studio (and I know of podcasts that ARE recorded in bedrooms that are of far higher quality). Oh, and WHATEVER YOU DO, do NOT sign up for the newsletter. Steinberg sends out multiple emails a week literally begging for money to keep him from being homeless. In the world of podcasts where hosts interview figures in the paranormal world, you can find far better shows than this "gold standard."

Gold Standard?
What exactly does that mean? The Gold Standard? I spend more time listening to ad than to an actual discussion about UFOs. I expected more from a show who touts themselves they way they do.
