would you tune into an Irish Paranormal radio show on the 'real' radio?

    Question for you all.

    If there was a paranormal radio show on the wireless type radio (as in not just the online variety), would you tune into it?

    If you did would you expect it to favour the believers, the cynics or the skeptics?

    I'd listen when I could but the option of a downloadable version would be a help. I'd prefere a neutral show which allowed for both sides depending on the content of each show.

    thats along the same lines as we were thinking - a show for everyone, believer, skeptic or cynic with some factual info (sleep paralysis for example) and an overall discussion topic per show with some live call ins and the obligatory interview.

    Keep your ear open as there'll be something announced within the next month that will be on local radio, a web stream and podcasted after.

    Im trying to find out if there has ever been a dedicated paranormal radio show on irish commercial radio to the same degree - I know theres been psychic/medium readings on radio before but this is a whole other kettle of fish so theres a chance it could be a bit of a first for the Irish paranormal community.

    I would listen and as 6th said a podcast facility would be good for missed shows. I would think a show where people can ring in and talk about there experiences and then have people comment/debate the source behind it or truth behind it.

    Id listen everyday.Id like it to not favour any view,just be as neutral as it can.

    Yeah i think it would be a very good idea for a show. but it would be important that it not favour one side more than the other. If its too "believer" ppl wont take it seriously but if its too "scientific" and explaining away every personal experience ppl wont listen either, def wont ring in. No one wants to be condescended by the "professionals":D

    Best idea I've heard all day. I could think of at least 20 of my friends who would listen too. I wouldn't feel good listening to a radio show that is biased to crazy theories other than the plain simple.
