    10: Miracles by D. Scott Rogo – Part 3
    Jul 29 2024
    "Miracles may potentially occur when large crowds of people who share a similar worldview come together. Their combined faith and emotion may somehow become linked to the world around them. Miracles may be the result." –Miracles by D. Scott Rogo


    In the final episode of Season 1, journey with Richard as he navigates the tumultuous landscape of his career and personal life, all while finding solace and purpose in the pages of both of his Miracles. As Richard grapples with the ups and downs of life, including the slow opening of The Mothman Prophecies and the heartache of divorce, Miracles emerges as his creative sanctuary.

    But just when it seems like Miracles might be the answer to his prayers, Richard faces a devastating blow when execs seemingly reject the pilot, leaving him reeling. What will be the fate of Miracles?

    This episode serves as a culmination of themes explored throughout our season – the power of belief, the comfort of books, and the ability to turn to creativity amidst personal turmoil. Through Richard's journey, we're reminded of the tension between being a believer and skeptic in our own lives and the strength found in embracing the unknown.

    Join Richard as he shares the highs and lows of his journey, from the depths of despair to the heights of hope, reminding us that even in the darkest moments, miracles can still happen. Tune in now for the part 3 of 3 of the Miracles series.

    9: Miracles by D. Scott Rogo – Part 2

    “The exact same phenomenon can be investigated very differently depending on whether the investigator is a clergyman -- or a parapsychologist.” –Miracles by D. Scott Rogo

    By September 13th, 2001 the world was changing hourly. Richard gets a call that the execs at Touchstone want to "re-approach" the original outline that he had toiled over for weeks. This is the kind of news that could undo a writer. But, the world was changing. Why shouldn't Miracles?

    And it is in this moment, dear listener, where Richard finally remembers his unwanted book, Miracles by D. Scott Rogo. Although he had never read a word of it, now he was hungry for some inspiration to help him get through the rewrite. He learns that Rogo's approach in the book was to examine various infamous paranormal cases from levitation to bilocation, as a parapsychologist and not a priest.

    As Richard was skimming (and let's be honest skipping) through the pages he realized that the disconnect he felt to the religion-heavy content was a solution to the problem he was having in the pilot. What if instead of a believer and a skeptic, of things being at odds...we had two believers. The same phenomenon is investigated differently depending on the investigator. This opened up endless opportunities for Miracles, from UFOs to haunted houses. All the things Richard loves. All the things we've explored this season.

    As Richard navigates the rewrite, he confronts his work against the backdrop of genuine fear and a life boiling over with change. Join him on a journey through uncertainty, discovery, and the quest for understanding in this gripping Part 2 of 3 of the Miracle Series.
