 We're joined here by Ben Radford, a scientific paranormal investigator. Ben, how are you? I'm doing good, doing good. And actually, that is the name, well, scientific paranormal investigations is the name of the book that I just finished on the airplane on the way over here. Fantastic book, by the way. Well, thank you. It's one of those where, for people who are interested in paranormal investigation, you know, bigfoot ghosts, you know, psychics, that sort of thing. You know, that's the way to go about it. You know, it sort of teaches a little bit of a blueprint. Kind of like if the curtains blow in the room, that's not necessarily a ghost. Is that how you... Yeah, I mean, you sort of, you have to take a, you know, take an investigative point of view. That's not debunking things, not saying, oh my god, this is all true or oh my god, this is all, it must be false. You just sort of say, what's, you know, we're just looking for the answer. And, you know, you do an investigation and you don't know if you don't look. So how many years have you been coming to TAM? I believe this is my fourth TAM, fourth or fifth time. You know, of course, I've known Randy way back. I mean, he and I were friends. And also, you know, DJ Growthy and the gang. So in many ways, this is sort of a homecoming. This is, you know, I've got friends who I meet only this time each year. It's nice to be part of a skeptical community where everybody shares a common value in truth and critical thinking. And aside from writing a whole bunch of books and doing a whole bunch of investigations, you're also the, correct me if I'm wrong, the editor of Skeptical Inquirer Magazine? I'm the deputy editor. Deputy editor. Deputy editor. And I'm also a co-host of the Monster Talk podcast for those who are interested in monsters and things like that. So yeah, just a wide variety of things. Excuse me, busy. And in Skeptical Inquirer Magazine, do you have a regular column? I do. It's called the Skeptical Inquiree. It's just a little pun on the inquirer, inquiree. And basically people write in and ask me questions. You know, what do you know about this? What do you know about that? You know, the Bell Witch, consumer advocacy things. You know, I did a piece recently for Head On. You know, the homeopathic, you know, paste you put on your head. So it's an interesting mix of, you know, paranormal mysteries, questions about methodologies, like how do you actually investigate blueprint type stuff, and a little bit of everything. So I like the interaction because a lot of what I do is very insular. You know, I work by myself. Writing is very insular. Investigation is very much just me. But then getting a chance to come to things like TAM, you get a chance to meet people. You talk to people who have common interests. You meet fans. You meet people who've followed your career. And it's really nice to get a chance to have that interaction. Now, one of your more recent books, Solving the Chupacabra, what was it? Tracking the Chupacabra. Tracking the Chupacabra, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I spent five years researching the Chupacabra, the Hispanic vampire beast. And it's the world's second and best known monster after Bigfoot, or Loch Ness Monster. And it's, you know, it's known around the world and it's supposed to suck the blood out of creatures. And it's a very complex, bizarre, strange thing full of conspiracy theories and... Well, don't give away the ending. No, no, I won't. I won't. But you better go get the book. I actually won. I was finalist for two book awards for that book. I'm quite proud of it. And it basically solved the mystery of the Chupacabra. And it took me five years of research and about 18 months to write. But it's been well-received in academic and scholarly journals, which I'm pleased of, because it's not every day that you get a monster-y book that's getting academic respect. Well, congratulations on that. And if people want to find out more about you, your books, stuff that you're up to, where can they do that? There's a couple of places. BenjaminRadford.com is the easiest one, which is B-E-N-J-A-M. And I don't even know my own name. BenjaminRadford.com. Monster Talk. I do columns for discovery news and life science. I do blogs for CFI. I'm everywhere. Google Benjamin Radford. You're going to find a ton of stuff, and it'll keep you busy for ages. Crazy stuff, yeah. All right. Well, thanks a lot. And enjoy the rest of TAM. Well, thank you. Good to see you.
