According to Joenickell.com, "I have been called "the modern Sherlock Holmes," the "real-life Scully" (from the X-Files), and other appellations.

In contrast to mystery-mongerers on the one hand and so-called debunkers on the other, I believe that mysteries should actually be investigated with a view toward solving them."

Show notes

According to Studio Binder, "Analog horror is a sub-genre of horror that draws heavily on the style and aesthetics of vintage analog media, such as VHS and cassette tapes. It's a form of horror that capitalizes on the eerie quality of grainy footage, distorted audio, and archaic technology to create an unsettling atmosphere. The emphasis on analog media paves the way for a distinctive narrative style, relying heavily on subtext and environmental storytelling."
