George Hansen, one of the most fascinating living thinkers about parapsychology and fortean phenomena, has just recorded a rare radio interview for Afterlife FM.
Hansen, who spent many years working in parapsychology labs, has a particular interest in manifestations of the Trickster archetype in fortean phenomena, culture and personalities. Here’s an interview I conducted with George for Fortean Times a few years back in which he outlines the ideas in his book The Trickster and the Paranormal, a dizzying but deeply sound overview of anomalous phenomena seen through the lens of post-structuralist anthropological theory, sociology, folklore and science.
