In this lively and deeply personal episode, host Dan Harary sits down with Canadian journalist and publicist Chrissy Newton, whose career straddles UFO journalism, science communication, and pop culture. The conversation opens with a tribute to the late Earl Grey Anderson, before diving into Chrissy’s journey—from growing up in rural Ontario watching American TV via satellite, to launching her PR firm Vocab Communications, and eventually becoming a media voice on extraterrestrial phenomena.

Chrissy shares powerful anecdotes, including a paranormal encounter as a child, and her father’s 1970s UFO sighting—complete with a photograph and a UFO responding to headlights. She also discusses how a homeless man unexpectedly confirmed her career path in PR, and her subsequent rise in the media world, including her podcast Rebelliously Curious, her role at The Debrief, and her appearance on Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction as the science-forward “bad cop.”

Together, Dan and Chrissy explore theories of interdimensional life, consciousness, belief skepticism, and how growing up with media shaped their understanding of truth. The episode ends on a philosophical note—questioning whether humanity is ready for disclosure, or if the extraterrestrials themselves are waiting for us to evolve.
