Joseph Baker is the guest on this week's
episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. He is a
professor of sociology at Eastern Tennessee State University and
the author of the book Paranormal America.
During this episode of The
Chauncey DeVega Show, Joseph and Chauncey discuss alternative
knowledge systems and conspiracy theories, the rise of Donald
Trump, Infowars, and fantastical thinking, as well as how
those people who believe in UFOs, Bigfoot, and ghosts construct
reality. Joseph also shares some great stories about searching for
Bigfoot and spending time with ghost hunters.
In this week's episode, Chauncey
DeVega calls out the foolishness that is America's obsession with
Donald Trump's Twitter feed, tells a story about how he may have
told too much truth during a recent radio appearance in San
Francisco, and asks listeners if he should soften his approach to
talking about the horrible reality that is America under Donald
Trump. In the spirit of this week's episode, Chauncey also shares
some stories from The Weekly World
News.
