J.C. JOHNSON - August 27 Guest

August 27 - With Early Webcast Aug. 21
Interview with J.C. Johnson on the Georgia Bigfoot Hoax

Radio host and investigator Johnson, a field associate of Tom Biscardi, talked to Uncanny Radio from the site of the Indiana location where the alleged "body" had been taken to thaw, with only about a foot of ice left. JC disclosed the horrendous animal parts found inside the Sasquatch costume and even in the rubber foot, and answered questions about the asserted measurements of the "creature" and other puzzling aspects of the case. Johnson is normally on field duty investigating creature incidents in the Western US, see the "Foursquare" Web site for more information and videos.

Brief TOD notes

Some brief notes on Tournament of Death, now that the competition has actually started.

I've got live updates of my work on the project going on at Twitter – a cool site that  allows you to get glimpses of the lives of your friends and interesting folks/projects — and am posting under the moniker "sdsullivan."  Sign up, add me to your watch list, and check it out.  You can see what part of the Olympics I'm watching and maybe deduce how it's working into my writing.

I'm having a great time creating characters for the tournament and using them to reveal information about the setting and world of TOD.  The story is set in the Blue Kingdoms, BTW, which some of you may be familiar with. 

To that end, I decided to label each character in the story when they have their own section or chapter — such as "Human Knight" or "Al Qiist Magician."  An easy and fun way to learn about the world, I hope.

And now is a great time to suggest characters you'd like to see created (or killed).  I hope to get another poll up on the TOD site today, too.  Did you vote in the one that's up now?

More soon.

TONY WOIAK - August 6 Guest

It's summer and everyone is headed "up north." But if the hordes of tourists knew what the locals do about those dark woods and streams and Great Lakes shores, they might think twice about pitching their tent in a wilderness forest. Washburn Wisconsin writer, historian and filmmaker Tony Woiak discusses some of the creepy things to be found near Lake Superior on this edition of Uncanny Radio. The author of ten books on Midwestern and northern Wisconsin history, Woiak is currently making a film called I Was a Middle-Aged Zombie. He has contributed to Weird Wisconsin and Strange Wisconsin, and his parents were Manwolf witnesses.

Robert Damon Scheck - July 23 & 30 Guest

Robert Damon Schneck, one of our favorite guests. returns with a new show and then a remastered version of an old favorite. First up, on July 23, he talks to Manwolf and Linda about Jeane Dixon, psychic to presidents and stars. Find out about Jeanne's uncanny history -- and how much of it is really true.

Then, on a classic Uncanny Radio (show 005 - remastered for better clarity) airing July 30, 2008, enjoy a smattering of Robert's best stories, including one about a poltergeist that converted to Catholicism, Pedro the Mummified Tiny Person, an electric machine intended to be God, a US president's connection to a vampire ... and perhaps Bram Stoker, and a Wisconsin tale so creepy that it defies description. Can you figure out the horrible "curse" that caused the first recording of this show to be "accidentally" wiped out by station engineers?

Robert Damon Schneck, America's Historian of the Strange, is the author of The President's Vampire, Strange-but-True Tales of the United States of America -- Anomalist Books 2005, Barnes & Noble 2007 -- as well as several books for young readers including Detective Notebook: Are You Psychic? He is freelance writer who contributes to Fate the Fortean Times and other magazines. Robert has carried out parapsychology experiments, participated in ghost hunts and visited odd places in search of stories. He lives in Brooklyn, New York, in an apartment full of books and silverfish eating the books. Friends describe him as a lovable, nocturnal, monomaniac.

Program Note: During the 7/23 show, Steve mentions "Kreskin" as making outrageous predictions, none of which ever came true. In fact, the fake psychic Steve meant to name was Criswell. Kreskin, of course, is a justifiably famous mentalist and performer. Criswell was a "psychic" known both for his wild (and inaccurate) predictions and for his association with infamous film director Ed Wood. This mentalist mix-up explains why Manwolf's comment comparing Kreskin with Jeane Dixon met with resounding silence from both Steve's co-host and Robert. Sorry, Mr. Kreskin!
