Paratopia 2025 Halloween Spooktacular!
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-qeryg-19ac1f5
On this, the final Paratopia podcast ever–Ever? Ever. You sure, ever? Fairly sure, ever–host Jeremy Vaeni has the perfect end cap to the entire journey. First we hear from long-time pal of The Jeff and The Jer, Tyler Kokjohn, about how best to go about researching ufology, what to expect will come of your work, and his thoughts on post-2017 ufology on the whole. Then we speak with paranormal researcher Allison Jornlin about the ins and outs of what she does, as well as some of her paranormal experiences. Finally, in a chat that will have you laughing, crying, and cheering him on, Cody Ritzmann tells us what it was like growing up Ritzmann and how he’s been processing the loss of his parents.
