The Light Gate is delighted to welcome back researcher/author, Joshua Cutchin. He is one of the world's leading experts on "the little people" or fairies, elves, gnomes and yes, ETs!

A sought-after researcher, author and presenter, Joshua has appeared on a wide variety of paranormal programs discussing his work, including Coast to Coast AM and the hit History Channel television show 'Ancient Aliens.'

He is the author of seven critically-acclaimed books: 2015's 'A Trojan Feast: The Food and Drink Offerings of Aliens, Faeries, and Sasquatch' (translated into Spanish as 'Banquete Troyano'); 2016's 'The Brimstone Deceit: An In-Depth Examination of Supernatural Scents, Otherworldly Odors, & Monstrous Miasmas'; 2018's 'Thieves in the Night: A Brief History of Supernatural Child Abductions'; and 2020's 'Where the Footprints End: High Strangeness and the Bigfoot Phenomenon,' Volumes I & II, with Timothy Renner.

In 2022, he released his two-part masterwork: 'Ecology of Souls: A New Mythology of Death & the Paranormal.' 2023 marked the release of his first fictional novel, 'Them Old Ways Never Died,' as well as his curated collection of essays, 'Fairy Films: Wee Folk on the Big Screen.' Joshua has been invited to speak at Georgia MUFON Events, the International Fortean Organization's FortFests (MD 2016 & 2019), X-Filers United! conference (RI 2019), ConCarolinas (NC 2019-2021), Strange Realities Conference (TN 2019-2023), East West Bookshop, Tewksbury Public Library's Fright Nights (2020), Morbid Anatomy (2022), Phenomenacon (2020, hosted by Greg & Dana Newkirk), the Worldwide Metaphysical Tribe (IL 2022), The Midwest Conference on the Unknown (MO 2022), DragonCon (GA 2022-2023), Archives of the Impossible (TX 2023), and An Inquiry Into Anomalous Experiences & the Phenomenon (NYC 2023).

He’s also an award-winning musician and a really all-around interesting and intelligent guy. This is a good one folks! Joshua is amazing.

Thank you for tuning into The Light Gate. With Dolly Safran having so much extensive experience as a firsthand lifelong contactee, and my own experience as a longtime researcher, along with our wonderful guests, we aim to bring new insights into the field of UFOs and the paranormal, and a wide variety of other subjects. We all deserve to know the truth about what's happening on our planet, and beyond! If you enjoyed this episode, please check out the many others here. 

You might also be interested in my show, "UFOs and the Paranormal" which presents firsthand cases from all over the world!

Have fun!

Step through THE LIGHT GATE and settle in for conversations that wander the blurred edges of reality. Hosts Preston Dennett and Dolly Safran guide these explorations, sitting down with a variety of guests to discuss experiences and ideas that challenge conventional understanding. Each episode delves into specific, curious territories, from the well-documented mysteries of Unidentified Flying Objects and government secrecy to more personal encounters with the extraterrestrial and the psychic. The dialogue often circles back to profound questions about consciousness, the nature of the afterlife, and creatures that might exist just outside the bounds of accepted science. This isn't about sensationalism, but rather a sincere, open-minded examination of what these phenomena could mean for our perception of existence itself. The resulting podcast feels like a series of late-night talks, where the topics are vast and the conclusions are often wonderfully elusive. If you've ever looked at the night sky with a sense of deep curiosity, or wondered about the untold stories hiding in the shadows of the everyday world, these conversations provide a thoughtful space to sit with those questions. Tune in for a journey that is as much about the inner landscapes of belief and wonder as it is about the outer mysteries of the universe.
