Welcome to Digital Folklore Unplugged! Unplugged episodes are where we ditch all the fancy production and story elements and bring you the raw (or slightly edited) interviews with folklore experts. On this episode, Perry & Mason sit down with Ben Radford to get the lowdown on creepy clowns, media literacy, the influence of folklore, and the psychological aspects of human beliefs. We touch on how misinformation and panic are spread through hoaxes and social media, using the example of clown sighting panics as a case study. Ben also discusses his investigations into paranormal phenomena and the experiences and empathy needed for effective investigation. His approach to investigative skepticism emphasizes the necessity for empathy, respect, and rigorous research.  Ok, let's get unplugged… Guest: Ben Radford (Twitter) (Website) (Podcast) Ben's Books (Amazon Associate Links) America the Fearful: Media and the Marketing of National Panics Bad Clowns Investigating Ghosts: The Scientific Search for Spirits Scientific Paranormal Investigation: How to Solve Unexplained Mysteries Tracking the Chupacabra: The Vampire Beast in Fact, Fiction, and Folklore ... and many more books by Ben

Welcome back to A Podcask of Amontillado, where we delve into the dark, dreadful, and terrifying parts of the world. From a creepy doll, to a house in New England, to putting the Devil on trial, the investigation of these incidents made the reputations of two of the most famous figures in the world of the paranormal, Ed and Lorraine Warren. Their research, writings, speaking events and more not only raised awareness and interest in hunting down the supernatural, but lead to a thriving series of horror movies. Listen in as Erin & Gary are joined by Alex Matsuo from The Spooky Stuff to discuss the Spiritualism movement & origins of parapsychology, both the real and fictional versions of the Warrens & their investigations, why you don't want to disturb supernatural entities, how the movie Warrens are like Sam & Dean Winchester, ethics in ghost hunting, their issues with The Conjuring 2, how Catholic imagery can easily be used to horrific effect, America's obsession with hauntings, and what if a different Wilson was cast as Ed Warren. Emanuel Swedenborg, Franz Mesmer, The Fox Sisters, Peter Underwood, & Hans Holzer The Amityville Horror trailer. Ben Radford, professional skeptic, disucsses the Warrens. The Demonologist: The Extraordinary Career of Ed and Lorraine Warren by Gerald Brittle. The Conjuring trailer. House of Darkness House of Light by Andrea Perron. The Enfield poltergeist and The Enfield Haunting trailer. White With Red short film. Hostage to the Devil: The Possession and Exorcism of Five Contemporary Americans by Malachi Marti. Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places by Colin Dickey. Alex's books on Amazon. The fact that this episode was recorded on Lorraine's birthday, and is being released on Valentine's Day, is strictly a coincidence. We swear.

Yes, so our guest this episode is . . . Ben! We take a look at a few strange things in the news first, like "Hunger Stones" and a "Surprise Spanish Stonehenge"! (No one expects the Spanish Stonehenge!). Then we dive into some media literacy themes and lessons in Ben's latest book, "America the Fearful: Media and the Marketing of National Panics." Part primer on what ties folklore of old to the anxiety-riddled news of today, part catalog of biases that influence the news, and part exploration of solutions, our talk goes into some familar territory for longtime listeners.

Over The Rainbow 4.08.22.mp3 Host, Bob Brown and guest, Ben Radford discuss Cryptozoology.

Joining me this week is author of "Tracking the Chupacabra", Benjamin Radford. Ben approaches his search for the elusive creature with a critical but careful eye. Among the monsters said to roam the world's jungles and desolate deserts, none is more feared than the chupacabra--the blood-sucking beast blamed for the mysterious deaths of thousands of animals since the 1990s. Combining five years of careful investigation (including information from eyewitness accounts, field research, and forensic analysis) with a close study of the creature's cultural and folkloric significance, Radford's book is the first to fully explore and try to solve the decades-old mystery of the chupacabra. Benjamin Radford, M.Ed., is a scientific paranormal investigator, a research fellow at the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry.https://www.amazon.com/Tracking-Chupacabra-Vampire-Fiction-Folklore/dp/0826350151PLEASE LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON YOUTUBE!Join us in chat: https://www.youtube.com/paranormalpopHumanitarian Aid for Ukraine:https://www.npr.org/2022/02/25/1082992947/ukraine-support-helpAlien Coffee Bean discount code: MYSTERY20https://aliencoffeebean.comhttps://pinebushmuseum.com/gallery-lectures/LINK TREE: https://linktr.ee/CoffeeandUFOsPlease consider supporting the channel by becoming a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/paranormalpopThank you!#chupacabra #cryptid #paranormal

This week's show gets its name from the outtakes at the end of the episode. Ben Radford returns this week to talk about his new book Big-If True: Adventures in Oddity.

The Vatican's "Miracle Examiner", Aliens are in my mucus! and lots of other craziness. Warning, Roejen is way whacked out on caffeine in this show so...Yeah.. Closing Music For The Show: Foals - What went down.

Ed & Lorraine Warren are known to many as the first international celebrity paranormal investigators. Their names are attached to such infamous cases like the Amityville incident, the events that inspired the Conjuring movies, and the doll Annabelle....including many more...But what if the Warrens were more interested in promoting their own celebrity and bottom line than actually helping those they were trying to investigate? What if they took credit in these cases without providing much insight of evidence or doing any actual investigative work at all?Ben Radford & Celestia Ward from the skeptic podcast Squaring The Strange return to Unexplained Inc. to examine some of these cases and debunk several myths surrounding thie romanticized story of this couple. In fact they question whether the couple had any credibility or positive impact on the realm of paranormal investigation whatsoever...this is not a discussion to speak ill of the dead but is a realistic examination into their legacy...here are some other topics:- Ben's personal experience with the author of Haunting In Connecticut- What does it actually take to become a demonologist?- The Warrens' relationship with Det. Ralph Sarchie- Their paranormal artifacts museum which is  fully stocked with creepy items.- How money is still being made by their name to this day- The dark secret surrounding the personal life of Ed Warren- The overall impact of the Warrens' legacy on this fieldHate comments being read by a Youtube about trying to 'expose' the Warrens:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U57xZfjd2GkRalph Sarchie documentaryhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL4DaJ0aJt0&t=4sSquaring The Strange:https://squaringthestrange.libsyn.com

April talks with Celestia Ward, one of the hosts of Squaring the Strange, a podcast that focuses on evidence-based analysis covering a very wide variety of topics. In this episode, April finds out how Celestia got started as a skeptical researcher; they also discuss some of the techniques Celestia uses to focus on finding facts while still acknowledging that she, like all of us, has biases. Along the way they mention skeptic icon James Randi, Penn and Teller, folklorist Jeannie Thomas, and Mick West, author and founder of metabunk.org. April also find out that Celestia is a big fan of the number 13 (the episode number)! After the interview, Celestia mentioned that she spent eight years as an academic editor at Johns Hopkins University Press, and says of that experience "Cutting your teeth on reference lists that are nearly as long as the chapters instills you with a respect for thorough research."

With Michelle Bijkersma This week Michelle looks at "The Appeal to Emotion". Also known as "argument from passion", this is when you manipulate emotions in order to try and win an argument or promote your point, especially in the absence of good evidence. It is also a red herring, that is, a way of diverting attention away from the issue at hand. A Logical Fallacy is an error we can make in reasoning, but it usually crops up when we are discussing or arguing our point of view. 0:25:50 GSoW News with Susan Gerbic Susan and friends chime in to bring us up to date with the latest from Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia.
