Release Notes

On this week's show:
Do you recall the "Heaven's Gate" UFO cult that committed mass-suicide in
1997 as a way to ascend to the Hale-Bop comet's companion craft? So does
this week's guest, Dr. Benjamin Zeller. His new book "Heaven's Gate:
America's UFO Religion," examines Marshall Applewhite ("Bo") and his group
of doomed believers and the emergence of new religion in the 21st Century.
His book is an insightful, sobering examination into a darker side of UFO
belief, and Ben is this week's guest on the Paracast. Dr. Zeller is a
researcher and teacher of religion in America. He focuses on religious
currents that are new or alternative, including new religions, the religious
engagement with science, and the quasi-religious relationship people have
with food.
