I agree with you totally. Someone writes a book with old, tired UFO tales and that gets you in the door of these various UFO/Paranormal podcasts. Once your name is circulated, you might be invited to a few conventions. You now have more opportunities to sell your questionable wares. It’s a vicious cycle where the listener/attendee learns nothing that furthers the UFO field.It seems like there are quite a number of these authors of (natch) multiple vanity and on-demand printed books who can thereby display a well-upholstered resume in order to get gigs. They offer third hand stories, polished, embellished, and supplemented over the years in a presentation smooth enough to last a couple of hours on a radio show (or UFO conference). Really just a sad collection campfire stories to help insomniacs fall asleep.
Looks to me like that is the direction of the Paracast now. I'm sure there's pretty much a bottomless pit of those kinds of flaccid old vipers to book week after boring week for the foreseeable future. And that fits with the moribund, musty sensibility of GriftyGene himself.
The fact that you showed up Anders to defend Gene Literally in the woods in the middle of nowhere without any way of knowing we existed is suspect.
As I do independent Analytics on the site, I can see traffic sources.
Gene or nobody else, have pointed me to this location.
@David Biedny - I really liked you on the show and was really disappointed when you left.
Can I ask you to explain exactly what went wrong, and why you have apologized?
I'm only seeking the truth and want to do what's right.
Though David, your aggressive language is firstly very ill-mannered and secondly is quite surprising - I see no reason for you to speak to me like that?
No, I can assure you that this is not Gene and I'm speaking on my own behalf.
I would encourage reasonable questions regarding Gene's practices, but please make sure you can substantiate the claims - as I can see many claims here cannot be.
I wish you all well, and I wish that the "begging" from Gene, will have an end. The more you support the store and getting great products, the sooner this will have an end.
I urge you all to be reasonable and encourage Gene's effort in this new endeavor.
Anders.
I'm not kidding and no I'm very uncomfortable with any misleadings or malpractices.
That's why I'm here.
What is the documented evidence for any wrongdoing?
Are you talking about the blog posts begging for donations?
Why are you avoiding any questions?

It's pretty generic right now, but there's lotta hard work behind the scenes - and this is only 1st phase.
Please explain what happened David, would appreciate it. Thanks.
Dear all,
I'm the "mythical Anders" and I'm the store operator of The Official Tech Night Owl Store.
Just wanted to chime in and clarify a few things regarding the store and what's going on behind the scenes.
A little while back, I offered to help Gene creating a sustainable business surrounding The Paracast and TNO fanbases - so he could get out of his financial trouble and move on with his life, not having to depend on donations at this rate.
As a huge fan the Paracast and longtime listener, I genuinely wanted to help out.
I'm truly disappointed to see all this speculation and harassment that's going on.
It's not immoral to ask for donations if you're in financial trouble and I would have hoped that you would
all applauded Gene for his efforts in trying to create a revenue-generating store that provides value for its customers.
Bottom line:
- Gene truly wants to get out of his financial trouble by providing value for the listeners and fans.
- Yes, you can buy similar headphones other places on the web, but they usually ship from China and then it's 15-25 days delivery. There's nothing curious about making a profit on a product, everyone does, especially when you deliver so much free content and has done it for decades.
- The store is 100% legit with truly great products. We do offer a 30-day money back guarantee as described on the site.
- We ship worldwide and currently offers FREE USPS express shipping to US customers.
- The "sold today" feature was implemented by a sub-contractor and the intent was it should have live updates and reflect actual sales numbers. It is true, that it's currently not 100% accurate, and this feature will be REMOVED within a few hours.
In the following months, the store will be updated with 150+ products including iPhone/iPad/Macbook covers, cases, sleeves and many more tech and Apple related accessories.
If you're in doubt about if you'll receive any products from the store, please try and place an order, and I think you'll be gladly surprised. If you don't get your product, or we refuse to offer a full refund within 30 days of purchase, you have spent $29.99 to finally prove your theory, that the store is a scam...
If you have any questions regarding the store or our products, please email me at technightowlstore@gmail.com.
Have a great day everyone and I hope to see you at the store,
Anders D.

I asked you a question that you have totally ignored. Once again, have you gone to the UFO Trail blog Anders and read the truth about Steinberg? If not, why avoid the truth? You say you are a seeker of truth, go and read the research done about your boss. No more BS, no one here believes a word you have spoken. There is some “truth” for you to chew on.You're completely wrong David.
