His new book Talking to the Dead explores contact with the dead, and this week he comes to Dreamland as Whitley Strieber's guest to tell us all about this fascinating topic. Is it possible to contact the dead? Are there any dead out there to communicate with, or does consciousness end with death? And if not, what convinces George that we go on after the body dies? His new book, Talking to the Dead, is an in-depth exploration of modern attempts to establish communication with the dead, and this interview reveals him to not only be a terrific talk show host, but also a sklled and committed expert when it comes to communication with those in the afterlife.

Roswell Open Sesame

Long time KPFA broadcaster Ralph Steiner has amassed a remarkable group of recordings of news announcements and interviews about the Roswell Incident. This edition of Dreamland begins with a recording of the first radio news report about the crash, and then Ralph takes us through a terrific history of Roswell, as told in interviews and recordings he has collected over his long career. Much of this material has never been heard before, and it has never been brought together in a single program anywhere. Fascinating new insight into the Roswell Incident. We will also hear the ORIGINAL recording of Colonel Jesse Marcel, who actually recovered the debris, describing what he saw, and Congressman Steven Schiff discussing the strange reaction of the Air Force when he instituted an investigation of the incident by the General Accounting Office. Ralph can be reached at timelessdreams@comcast.net.
