Welcome back to Deviatus. This week, we are concluding Season 2 of the show. I have some important announcements I’d like to make at the end of the episode about the future of the show, so don’t go anywhere after the main content, and I would like your input with a couple of things. There’s no guest for today’s show, but before I get to any of news or asking for input, I wanted to hold up my end of a promise that I made one year ago on the show. Whether you’ve been listening that long or not, I had created a Halloween Special for Episode 15 back in 2016 that focused on some EVPs I collected personally utilizing a spirit box, and I concurrently ran an anonymous survey alongside the episode to obtain some unbiased opinions about what words, if any, could be deciphered within those audio clips. Now before anyone listening decides to email me about how to conduct proper research and eliminate bias, I am fully aware that the survey I ran has some limitations. In fact, I believe one of the most difficult challenges paranormal researchers face is conducting experiments and research in controlled conditions and coming up with creative ways to prevent bias. Obviously there’s going to be some level of bias if I’m reaching out to people who listen to a show about the paranormal in that if you’re listening, you are more likely than not to #1 believe in the paranormal, and #2 automatically assume that any voices captured are in fact the voices of a ghost, spirit, or otherwise non-living entity (however you prefer to describe it). The very definition of any of these terms can be up for debate. So that said, I am not attempting to pass this survey off as official scientific research. I did complete the survey strictly for entertainment purposes, and to see if random people I have never met in person may have heard the same vocalizations that I interpreted from the files. So if you haven’t listened to Episode 15, that’s okay because I’m going to not only explain how the survey went and the structure of that episode, but I’m also going to re-play those audio clips for you today. Over the last 15 months, I’ve brought you 40 episodes of Deviatus with guests experiencing a plethora of strange things from UFO encounters, to cryptids, ghosts, demons, near death experiences, and a few others I haven’t mentioned. The truth is I love the content. It just doesn’t get old to me. I, however, unlike the content I share with you, have been burning the candle at both ends. Basically, I’m announcing that I need to take a break, and will be putting the show on a hiatus for a little while. I feel like I owe you a bit of an explanation about my reasoning behind this decision though. While I’ve shared some aspects of my life throughout the episodes, I can provide some additional details. I do work full-time in healthcare management during the week. I also teach radiography courses in the evenings for a secondary income, and for the Fall semester, I’ve taken on an additional course load to help out due to some faculty changes. On top of that, I’ve been serving for the last several months as an expert consultant for a legal case involving my field of expertise in radiology – that just ended, but there may be an additional opportunity there in the near future. I also have a wife and two children who have been gracious enough to split their shared time with me and my podcasting on the weekends and evenings I’m not teaching. While I still enjoy producing the podcast, my ideal goal would be to make it a weekly show – that is, if I could have an ideal state. I can honestly tell you I am struggling right now to continue a production schedule of every two weeks. I say all this not to complain, but to shed a little light for the listeners who have been so supportive of the show. I don’t want to simply disappear like so many shows do without an explanation or any notification about whether the show will return or not. I’m going to be totally transparent right now and say I’m not 100% about when the show will return. I think there’s going to need to be some changes to the show in order for me to keep producing Deviatus. First and foremost, I’m learning that I just can’t do it all myself. I am going to be searching for a partner in crime (possibly two) to share the responsibilities of show production with during my hiatus. From coordinating guests for the show, to participating in the interviews, to post-production, scheduling and social media. I want to continue producing a show with integrity, meaning asking questions to seek the truth, while being careful not to indulge personal opinions too much, but to also allow room for the listener to make up their own minds about the content being shared. Thanks again, and I’ll post an update when I have more information. You probably won’t hear too much from me, so until next time, take care!
