Bob Bain: Talk Radio Host & Paranormal Podcast Expert


Podcast Overview

Deep in the back of your mind, you’ve always had the strange feeling that reality isn’t what it seems to be. You are right. There are invisible forces at play every day in our lives. These invisible forces control human behavior, manipulating what we see, feel, think and achieve. Through the art of cutting edge interviews with experts from the field of science, medical advancements, conspiracies, and paranormal culture, Mysterious Matters will enhance your mental and spiritual capabilities of understanding, while achieving its ultimate goal of breaking down the barriers of perceived reality. You will see reality, and your own life differently.

Mysterious Matters discusses various topics from ancient civilizations, conspiracy theories, medical advancements to prolong human life, space exploration, transhumanism, paranormal culture (Ghosts, extraterrestrial life, unidentified flying objects (UFOs), psychic abilities or extrasensory perception, and cryptids like Bigfoot and Lochness Monster, and religion culture such as Christianity, Hoodoo, and Wicca).

Mysterious Matters is more than a paranormal podcast, more than a conspiracy podcast… it is an examination of life and its mysteries. The show is hosted by Bob Bain, and is produced in Nashville, Tennessee.

Season 4 of Mysterious Matters will premiere on January 5th, 2017.
