Building the PDN Community: New Ventures, Writers, and the Future of Paranormal Publishing

Welcome to a special edition of Deadly Departed, where the veil between worlds grows thin and conversations dive deep into the paranormal. In this off-the-cuff episode, host Jock Brocas is joined—at long last in person—by co-host and Paranormal Daily News science editor Craig Weiler. After years of working together from afar, Jock and Craig finally meet face-to-face in North Carolina, marking a milestone for both their partnership and the Paranormal Daily News community.

Together, they take listeners behind the scenes of PDN, sharing exciting updates about the team, new writing opportunities, and plans for expanding the magazine—both in print and digital forms. The episode is filled with gratitude for their writers and readers, candid discussions about the challenges of academic writing, and sneak peeks at forthcoming ventures like Para Wise Magazine, a peer-reviewed journal, the PDN Books publishing initiative, and new audio content for the community. Jock and Craig also unveil their vision for growing the PDN community, hosting live events, and providing more resources and master classes to anyone passionate about the unexplained.

Tune in for this heartfelt conversation about building a platform for researchers, writers, and enthusiasts alike; it’s a warm invitation to get involved and help shape the future of paranormal exploration.
