June 18, 2023 — Donald Jeffries with Tim Swartz

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz introduce conspiracy theory expert Donald Jeffries, who brings listeners to The Paracast what may be the ultimate conspiracy theory. So his book "From Strawberry Fields to Abbey Road: A Billy Shears Story," written along with Don Wilson, explores one of the wildest rumors to ever come out of the entertainment world — the "Paul is Dead" legend. The authors detail the history behind the rumor, and numerous figures from show business, as well as Beatles experts, share their own thoughts on the subject, as well as how the Beatles impacted their lives. Jeffries first began researching the JFK assassination in the mid-1970s as a teenage volunteer with Mark Lane's Citizens Committee of Inquiry. His books include the best-sellers "Hidden History: an Expose of Modern Crimes," "Conspiracies, and Cover-Ups in American Politics," "Survival of the Richest: How the Corruption of the Marketplace and the Disparity of Wealth Created the Greatest Conspiracy of All," "Crimes and Cover-Ups in American Politics: 1776-1963," "Bullyocracy: How the Social Hierarchy Enables Bullies to Rule Schools, Workplaces, and Society at Large" and "On Borrowed Fame: Money, Mysteries, and Corruption in the Entertainment World."
