We kick off this extra long episode with a question of synchronicities. And then we talk about the culture of dumb people inhabiting our favorite paranormal subculture. And then what? This episode is 2 1/2 hours long--surely we will talk about the most paranormal event of 2016: the rise of Donald Trump and the enigma of Bernie Sanders. And then bag on Richard Dolan for a while before dismantling the Roswell slides. I mean, why not?
Jeff's dad sees a UFO? Jer meets a skeptical realtor whose girlfriend was abducted by aliens? Is there a connection between UFOs and midlife crisis? This is a wild episode with which we rang in 2016!
After a brief chat about weird coincidences devolves into a bittersweet nostalgia trip, we talk about just how entrenched flying disks have been in our psyches predating ufology. And that stream of consciousness dumps us into a much larger ocean of super natural discussion.
Tonight, we're talking evidence. What are the rules of evidence for paranormal events? And where is it?
Dr. Tyler Kokjohn joins The Jeff & The Jer to talk about memory, the brain, altered states, and "alien" telepathy. (originally aired: 2015.)
We kick off this dynamic conversation with a question never asked: Is there a difference between shared high strangeness experiences and solo? From there, it gets wild! (originally aired: 2015) Spread the love. Share this podcast. Spread the wealth. Donate to www.ko-fi.com/jayvay
The Jeff & The Jer do a deep dive on peripheral phenomena and meaning in paranormal experiences. And that's just the beginning. Wait 'til we get the the Shroudman stuff.

The boys are back! Well, sorta. The Jeff and The Jer briefly reunited to bring us Paratopia Oculus. What is Paratopia Oculus, you ask? Good question. It shall be answered right up front in this inaugural episode. Then, we catch up on their lives and their take on where ufology has been going since they broke up the band. (originally aired in 2015.)
It's Jeremy Vaeni. It's Jeff Ritzmann. It's paranormal researcher Nick Redfern. It's famed filmmaker Philippe Mora. It's the legendary roundtable discussion you never heard about searching the National Archives with two gents who have done it to great effect for different purposes ranging from MJ-12 to Hitler.
Paratopia Talk Story was an incredibly short-lived and glitchy Youtube video talk show. On this inaugural episode, The Jeff & The Jer welcome experiencer Deb Kauble to talk about how the paranormal has evolved in her life since the days of her possible "alien pregnancy." Are pregnancies themselves gateways to the paranormal? We shall find out!
The Jer channels his inner Mel Blanc to bring you a very special interpretation of the Citizen's Hearing on Disclosure, in this, the first-ever Paratopia radio play. (originally aired: 05.03.2013)
This is a crossover special between The Black Fridays podcast and Paratopia hosted by Jeremy Vaeni, Wes Owsley, and Stacy Lowery. Together, they interview NARCAP's Ted Roe and Dr. Richard Haines who were saying "UAP" long before it was cool. This is a discussion about their Project Sphere report on spherical UAP. But first, The Jer has a little something to say on The Trickster. (originally aired in 2010. Maybe have been a subscriber special.) You can still read the report here: https://www.narc...
This is the unreleased, never-before-heard midweek special that breaks down Jeff's reasons for the falling out between Paracast host and once good friend, Dave Biedny, and Jeff Ritzmann. We decided not to release it back in 2010 for a few reasons that are irrelevant now. Jeff and Dave have both passed away. Dave told his side on another show back then. This is not meant to stir up old controversy or bad feelings. I have none toward Dave, may he rest in peace. This is for the Paratopia completist...
The Jer talks to Emma Woods about a recent odd experience involving abduction-related and hallucinatory phenomena. Together, they discuss whether one's state of consciousness during an abduction differs if it's physical or nonphysical. If so, do phenomena surrounding an experience differ? All of this is couched in Oliver Sacks' book, Hallucinations. Then, The Jer gets into his meditative experience from just last night and discusses some new twists on Trickster and the abduction scenario. (origi...
The Jeff & The Jer run down a brief list of things gone wrong in ufology since Paratopia left the internets. Then, The Jeff looks back on his recent dive back into UFO photo analysis and the public response to it. Next, The Jer tosses out a new hypothesis about the meaning behind the devastating and frightening images and experiences in abductions. Finally, the hosts update us on the strangeness in their lives (Are dream weavers the new puckwudgie?), give a Project Core update, and The Jeff ...
In this part 1 of 2 epilogues to the greatest paranormal podcast in the history of several earths, The Jer is lost at sea without The Jeff. However, he is kept company by some friends with very peculiar night lives. (originally aired: 11.01.2012)
Jeff & Jer run from their past straight into the future with this, the final installment of the weekly podcast. But before they go, they leave you with a high strangeness theory that incorporates some of the concepts Jeff, Jer, and Tiokasin have brought to you over the last few weeks and through the years. This one could turn ufological, paranormal, and psychic research on their ears if researchers had the guts to listen. (originally aired: 06.14.2012)
This was a subscriber-only sequel to episode 114 back in the day. The day has changed. Let's all listen in now as The Jeff and The Jer takes your short questions and turn them into longwinded answers! (originally aired 05.04.2011. May the 4th be with us again!)
In this, the season finale, Tom Cheetham and Jeremy Vaeni have a very informal chitchat that brings us to the answer to a great and important question on everyone's mind: Can staring at a flea penis under a microscope cause paranormal experiences? Also, they announce that they will be taking their conversations to a new livestream format on Youtube, March 21st at 4pm EST! (The show is called Wise Ask. Feel free to comment and ask us anything in the Youtube chat!)

Jeff's final solo episode of Paratopia covers where we've been over the long journey of the program--which includes a special mystery guest to talk of the future. But Jeff also delivers a critical message about where communication regarding the '"alien" encounter goes in moving forward, how it cannot be stopped, why we have to take the mighty leap of faith, and speak of it as it truly is, and not be coerced by the machinations of the past or present day ufology. No-man's land never stays that wa...
Tom Cheetham can't get Jeremy Vaeni's voice out of his head, an inner critic, telling him that what he's teaching about Henry Corbin and company is irrelevant because the spiritual trump card is the only card to play--and that is letting go of everything. Is his inner Vaeni right? What does outer Jeremy Vaeni have to say about it? Thus begins this week's continuing conversation.
Episode 103 ran long and The Jeff & The Jer had yet more to say. This is that more. Jer in 2025 says, "I'm finishing up a book on Kundalini due later this year and then writing one more 'alien abduction' book. What you're about to listen to will play a heavy role in that book. Watch out for it in 2026!" (originally released to subscribers in February 2011)

The Jer says his goodbyes on this, the beginning of the countdown to the end of Paratopia, and has one fantastic all-encompassing interview with Tim Binnall about everything from ufology to Bigfoot to remote viewing to what drives the 2 main types of conspiracy theorists. But not before he exposes Croatian gazer Braco in the greatest story never told! (originally aired: 05.31.2012)
If I told you that this episode is about what becomes of people in general, and academics specifically, when they get absorbed in ufology and the paranormal, I wouldn't be lying. If I told you it is about the laws of physics actually being as flimsy as a deck of card, I'd still be telling the truth. And if I told you it's about whether or not to stop studying spiritual heirarchy because it isn't Truth? Still a fact. But more than any of that, this episode is just two guys talking.

Mothman has nothing on what Jeff Ritzmann reveals in the first half of the show. In the second half, Jer and Tiokasin discuss how it's possible that coming from the heart might help us understand hauntings and related phenomena. (originally aired: 05.28.2012)
While Tom Cheetham digs himself out of his house after a snowstorm, Jeremy Vaeni flies solo, answering listener questions, lighting up the proper setting for awakening, showing why precise language matters when talking about death of self, and exposing the link between sorrow and desire. Put on your active listening ears for this one and your might just stop you in your tracks for a real miracle to take your place!
