Spooktalkular is an Internet podcast hosted by husband and wife team Frank and Laura.  The show first aired in July of 2008 to discuss paranormal topics ranging from ghost hunting television shows to UFOs and just about everything in between.  The show is netcast live on Sunday nights at 6:00PM Eastern at www.spooktalkular.com.  Immediately after the live netcast, archives are available on iTunes, by RSS feed or directly from the website at www.spooktalkular.com.

Again, incredible night.  Thanks to everyone, especially MissBree29 for everything.  As promised during the show, the link for the Nick Groff interview is http://www.spooktalkular.com/2009/07/20/spooktalkular-episode-026/.  Be gentle, keep in mind, that was 27 episodes ago.  I’d like to think we’ve gotten a little better.  ;)
