Highlights The Malliard Report

While Jim Malliard is the face (the voice?), lead researcher, booker and scout, web developer, marketing strategist, merchandise design, and countless other roles, he does also have a small team that…well, really doesn’t do much more than send nonsensical texts, and call in and harass him during live call shows. This week Jim begrudgingly welcomes one of these individuals to the show to discuss a smattering of random topics. This week Jim features Christopher Olson to the show.Chris…me…the person writing this right now…has been a part of the show for a number of years now. Forget the fourth wall for a bit. I’m just going to write to you dear reader and listener as if we were sitting across from each other over a cup of coffee. As many of you know, I help Jim with the show notes and some behind the scenes producer stuff. I’ve had the pleasure of calling Jim a friend for quite some time. I love the paranormal, conspiracies, music, food, and coffee. I’ve been a musician for a majority of my life, enjoy conductin

No matter what your take on the events that surround the whole covid situation, the one thing that everyone can agree on is that the landscape has drastically changed. For months we were forced into isolation with nothing more than a digital outreach to everyone around us. To say that it has altered a major component of our psyche would be a gross understatement. This week on The Malliard Report Jim welcomes back a fan favorite and show regular to discuss the new wave of upcoming “sociopaths.” This week features the one and only Rebecca Housel.“Rebecca Housel, Ph.D., known as The Pop Culture Professor, is an international best-selling author and editor in nine languages and 100 countries. Rebecca, listed in the Directory of American Poets & Writers for her work in nonfiction, was nominated by Prevention magazine essayist and best-selling author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Rebecca Skloot, to the National Association of Science Writers for her work on cancer. Rebecca has published with best-sel

It is a process that we have all encountered. You go to the doctor (which is already a pain in the butt to get into) go through whatever exam you have lined up, the doctor scribbles some illegible gibberish on a piece of paper and sends you to your local pharmacy. You know it will take a little bit of time, and your stomach is doing most of the talking right now, so you decide to grab a bite on the way over to the pharmacy. You grub your burger, pull into your local WalAideRiteGreens, meander to the back and queue up in the line. You finally get to the window, only to find out that your prescription isn’t ready yet. “HOW HARD CAN IT BE!? Just take the pills from the container, and put them in the bottle for me” you scream inside of your head. But, there is much more to it than just that. This week’s guest on The Malliard Report is here to dispel all the misconceptions of life in a pharmacy, discuss specialty medications, the opioid crisis, and much more. This week Jim welcomes pharmacists number 1 Fan & A

After all these years, we’ve gotten to know the voice of the great Jim Malliard quite well. We know his foray into the paranormal. Struggles and achievements in the world of maintaining a podcast for more than a decade (and the strange cast of characters he keeps around to help with it), and even some of his interests and hobbies outside of life behind the mic, but very, very rarely does the curtain blow enough in the ethereal breeze that we get a true peek into the world of the “duck master” himself. This week, the breeze of destiny just so happens to be working in our favor with Jim’s featured guest, and that curtain is blown wide open. This week Jim welcomes his better half, the one and only, Tabby (Mrs. Duck Master) Malliard.It has been eight long years since we have had the absolute privilege to have Tabby on the show, and this week we finally break that much too long absence. Tabby joins Jim to share some insight into what a day in the life looks like. From overcoming some serious health challenges, tak

Call centers are one of the most unique experiences from both a consumer and employee standpoint. As a customer, we often feel the frustrations of long wait times, being helplessly passed around from department to department, having to tell our story six different times only to be met with the “…why are you calling in today…” As an employee, it can be equally frustrating: long and/or strange hours, poor management, high churn, lack of training, and at times what feels like a never-ending stream of angry customers on the other end of the line call after call after call. Neither scenario is exactly a win for either party and this has been the sort of mindset for decades. It sucks, we know it sucks, and that’s just the way that it is. But what if there was a different way? Modern approaches that could simplify the process and increase first call resolutions, make the job easier for the agents, and much more. This week on The Malliard Report, Jim welcomes a guest that is taking this task head on. This week we wel

Come one, come all, this week is an exciting one because we have live calls. Always a fan favorite, live calls always offer an ever changing buffet of topics, and this week certainly does not disappoint. Kicking off right out of the gate we disgust a topic that seems to be in and out of headlines regularly for the last couple of years. UFOs and the military have always had a sort of peanut butter and jelly type relationship, but lately it feels like every news story involving unidentified craft is somehow tied to the Navy. From the declassified footage of the F/A-18s tracking one over the ocean at incredibly high speeds (one thing that should be pointed out here that is not discussed at all, is the amazing show of skill that either the Weapons Systems Officer (WSO) or Pilot exhibited at tracking the object with the targeting pod. That certainly is no easy task, especially considering the high speeds it was alleged to be moving at. Let’s hear a round of applause for that) to new recent allegations of sailors b

Dealing with the passing of a loved one is one of those unfortunate occurrences that we all must face. Even more intimidating is the notion of having all our affairs in order when our time comes. Macabre? Yes, but statistically speaking you are one hundred percent likely to die. Now when that time comes, in addition to the grief that we have to go through, there is often the headache of dealing with estates, wills, financial holding transfers, the list goes on. Unless you are an expert and many different fields, navigating those tumultuous waters can be an incredibly daunting task. This week on The Malliard Report Jim welcomes a guest that deals specifically with this field and has made it his goal to try and make the process as easy as possible. This week Jim welcomes Robert (Bob) Kabacy to the show to discuss the many intricacies of being an estate lawyer, the beautiful Oregon coast, and about his time on stage with David Copperfield.“Robert Kabacy has been a lawyer in the estate planning and wealth transfe

In the summer of 2005, news headlines were dominated with the death of Pope John Paull II, Tony Blair winning a third term and the very strange case of Natalee Holloway. (So strange in fact, that a Malliard Report known Irish podcast featured an episode on it) Natalee went missing in Aruba after a high-school graduation trip, under very peculiar circumstances and her case was eventually closed in 2012 with no “official” explanation. The case has garnered the attention of many different true crime outlets, investigators, and today’s guest. This week Jim welcomes to the show psychic profiler and medium Carla Baron to the show.“Carla became known throughout the globe for her real-life portrayal of a psychic crime fighter, starring in the hit TruTV (formally Court TV) series, “Haunting Evidence,” now in worldwide syndication. Ms. Baron appeared on several episodes of Biography’s “Dead Famous.” Her work as a psychic profiler was highlighted on ABC’s “Primetime,” and 20/20 for WE. MTV’s FEAR was Carla’s premiere fo

The news is a vicious thing. Whether we get it from the television, various internet locations, doom scrolling on our phone, and even bombarded while we run about our daily errands (nothing like trying to get your morning workout in or stand in line for the pharmacy while being inundated with some form of media deluge) there are times where it feels like we can’t escape it. What doesn’t help is that it seems like everything that is happening is headline worthy, and takes over everything. It is easy to escape into our own head and start to feel crazy or become so rooted in our own ideals that we forget that there are other people that may feel the same, completely disagree, or just be apathetic to it all. This is where conversation with those around us is important. See the other sides, hear where we may be right, or just learn to not care at all. This week on The Malliard Report we get to do just that.This week it is live calls, and with everything going on, there certainly is no shortage of material to cover

There are a handful of voices that have become staples and fan favorites in the Malliard repertoire. This week one of those voices returns, and it is none other than the Safety Doc himself David Perridon. A lot has happened since the last time David has been on, and he’s produced another amazing book. This episode is certainly a heavy one, with a lot of information to take in. So sit down, strap in, and get ready.“David P. Perrodin, PhD, worked twelve years as a Director of Student Services before exiting the profession to focus exclusively on researching school safety and high-stakes decision-making in conjunction with his doctoral dissertation at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. As an expert in safety preparedness and response, Dr. Perrodin has presented on public television, in school districts and at school safety conferences. He has access to the top safety specialists in the industry and works collaboratively with this talented network to bring unparalleled services to clients. In 2016, he partner

If you have been a listener to The Malliard Report for any length of time, you will certainly have heard of The Phillip K Dick Film Festival and now The New York Sci-Fi Film Fest. Well, it is that time of year again and on this episode of The Malliard Report Jim welcomes back long time, returning guest Daniel Abella to discuss this year’s festival, trends in film, and so much more.“The New York Science fiction film festival is an alternative venue for independent Science fiction filmmakers to showcase their work. This is our first year for this event. The Philip K Dick festival, our sister festival, was founded by Dan Abella in 2012 as an outlet for independent Science fiction filmmakers to showcase their work. Daniel Abella is a science fiction film maker and producer. Some of his work includes the webisodes, THE SINGULARITY, THE MONTAUK PROJECT, THE MULDER CHRONICLES and the feature film, THE FINAL EQUATION. He is also the director and founder of the Philip K Dick festival Europe.”As Daniel mentions in this

In an age where independent/self-made content is the mainstream, there is literally something for everyone, and a hundred other people doing the exact same thing, it is certainly a mountain of a challenge to gain any traction whatsoever. Now throw in the idea of doing said thing for more than a year with any sort of success. Impressive if that train is able to keep rolling with any steam for a second and maintain any sort of base following. We’ve all seen YouTubers come and go, other podcasts bottle rocket to the top and fizzle out after a few seasons leaving us searching for something else. However, every so often something comes along that is a game changer. This week we are talking about none other than our very own The Malliard Report.This week on The Malliard Report, we celebrate and reflect on a major milestone; eleven years. It is a major achievement to stay with a company for more than a decade, but to maintain a fantastic podcast with engaging content, interesting guests, and a devout following of th

Every individual has something inside that drives them. A spark deep within that builds to a flame of personal achievement or passion. What it looks like, or the fuel behind it varies for each person, but the base behind it is all the same. This week on The Malliard Report Jim welcomes a guest that has a raging inferno inside and has overcome obstacles that very few will ever know. On this episode Jim welcomes Courtenay Turner to discuss her achievements, her philosophies, and what drives her.“…Courtenay Turner was born with congenital rubella. Her mother had the German measles during first trimester of pregnancy. Some of the ramifications including but not limited to unilateral blindness, severe bilateral hearing impairment, hypotonia affecting the limbs, heart complications, asymmetrical bone development, stunted growth, for fine and graphic motor coordination and several other afflictions. Doctors told her parents the best they could hope was to find an institution to put her in for life. From the baby nur

Unfortunately, it has only been over the last few years that a real and legitimate focus on mental health has made its way to the forefront of discussion. For ages, discussing one’s mental health was considered taboo, and heaven forbid if someone felt that they needed to seek out professional help. Thankfully in recent years, the awful stigma of searching out professional help, or even openly discussing mental health has significantly disappeared and has become a more mainstream topic. This week on The Malliard Report, Jim welcomes Crystal McFadden to the show, and Crystal is a fierce advocate for individual mental health and well-being.A retired vet, licensed therapist, speaker, podcaster, and writer, Crystal has overcome her own hurtles in life to reach where she is today. Crystal uses her podcast and writings to reach out to individuals that may be looking for help, but might be unsure as to where they should turn. She describes her podcasts “…Life is tough, we all seek to be seen, heard, and validated of

The entrepreneurial spirit is what drives some of the most revered people in our modern history. Mix in with that a bit of grit, tenacity, and some warrior type ethos, and you absolutely have the recipe for success. This week on The Malliard Report, Jim welcomes Zachary Green to the show that has embodied that very hallmark. On this episode Zach and Jim jump into what it takes to establish yourself in the world, as military service member, as a first responder, as a businessman, and how to really make it yours.“Zachary Green’s experiences in the Marine Corps shaped his destiny. His time in the military, then as a firefighter, gave him the resourcefulness, integrity and grit to become a highly successful entrepreneur. Taking risks, trusting himself and never letting go of his dreams drove him to create, produce, market and sell a product that saves lives. Zach lives in the Cincinnati suburb of Wyoming, Ohio with his wife and son. He is an elected member of the Wyoming City Council and was named Entrepreneur of

You ever have those days where it feels like the same thing over and over? When the daily grind is not a kitschy named coffee shop that you stop by each day, but rather the very existence that is. Now, it is common for everyone to fall in a rut from time to time, even those that are in the most ideal of situations can find themselves here. But the real question is, how do we know that we are where we all called to be. This week on The Malliard Report, Jim welcomes Alec Kassan to the show to discuss what it is like to be living within the calling that God has appointed for you.“Alec Kassan is the creator and host of The Current Christian, an online ministry dedicated to helping Christians succeed in their walk with Christ. A modern-day man after God’s heart, Alec applies his outside-the-box thinking and problem-solving capabilities to his teaching methods for a refreshing and encouraging take on how to lead a fruitful life with Jesus as the foundation. Alec Kassan provides you with the strategies, tools, and i

As we binge through our favorite shows, watch that go-to comfort movie for the 150th time, and curiosity scroll through the protagonists’ real life social media pages, we often find ourselves wondering what the actor life is like. Daydreaming about how we would be in front of the camera for the whole world to see. Working alongside people that we have been enthralled and entertained by. Forgetting that most of the individuals we love and love to hate through our endless streams have had to fight and claw to the position they are in. This week on The Malliard Report, we get a rare chance to pull back that curtain and see just how life as an actor really…plays out… with special guest Sean Dillingham.Sean Dillingham “…has appeared in over 135+ commercials and 70+ films and 25 national television series. He's had network television appearances on Operation REPO, Discovery ID, Buried in the Backyard, The NightShift, Longmire, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, This is Us, There's Johnny, Yellowstone & Better call Saul!

Until now, the prominent writer on the King assassination has been William Pepper, who was also the attorney for James Earl Ray. It is the point of view of the author that Pepper's determination to acquit Ray caused him to ignore or dismiss the importance of McFerren's testimony. The premise is that Pepper needed to keep Ray as far from involvement as possible to acquit him, but that James Earl Ray was deeply involved with the men who orchestrated the assassination of April 4, 1968. For that reason, Pepper needed to ignore much of the testimony provided by McFerren, tape recordings of which was sent to multiple people including the United State Justice Department in real time, meaning soon after the event. More testimony was provided around the time of the HSCA , including McFerren's affidavit dated June, 1978. This week on The Malliard Report, Jim welcomes author John Roberts to the show to discuss the deeper conspiracy into Dr. Martin Luther King’s assassination through the book Cotton Coated Conspiracy.
