Need To Know with Coulthart and Zabel

259
Science #38

The Need-to-Know podcast deals with the now acknowledged reality of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena or UAP. Its hosts are award-winning broadcasters and investigative journalists Ross Coulthart and Bryce Zabel. Every episode, they’ll look at what’s happened in the UAP/UFO world. Coulthart and Zabel discuss their current investigations, give each other advice, and seek to answer the big questions: who are they and what do they want? Ross Coulthart’s work has been featured on Australia’s version of “60 Minutes.” And his documentary for Channel Seven Australia covering his UFO findings has been seen by more than ten million viewers. He is the author of In Plain Sight, in which he concludes that, while publicly dismissing the phenomenon for decades, governments have been seriously studying it all along and take it very seriously. Coulthart continues to report on the subject for Australian network television while working on investigations spawned by his book. Bryce Zabel is an award-winning writer who has created or developed five primetime television drama series and worked on a dozen writing staffs. His feature credits include Mortal Kombat and Atlantis. His World War II film, The Last Battle, will shoot in the summer of 2024. Zabel was an original correspondent for CNN, and an award-winning investigative reporter for PBS. Zabel has authored his own UFO book, A.D. After Disclosure. He writes and edits the publication Trail of the Saucers that is read by more than 80,000 readers each month.

    Really B?
    If i can quote you. “I think Biden sounds clear”. Wow. Im done. Peace out!!
  • mnhtrs
    Interesting some of the time…
    But I can’t keep getting strung along by Coulthart, and now that he’s taking shots at Biden and supporting the candidate who can’t even string a sentence together (and has no integrity whatsoever), I’m out.

    Stay away from politics
    Clearly the Australian speaker has some kind of thing for the convicted felon former president, (who has no clear policies about anything that doesn’t benefit his own interests).

    Good Podcast but
    Bryce and Ross do a much better job acting as Journalists than todays Journalists on this subject. I think though they fail to realize that there is no accountability in D.C. anymore for two decades on real matters. The senate and house are doing what federal government does now when they want to kill inquiries and investigations on subjects they dont want to release the truth on. They use bureaucratic byzantine methods to slow walk any investigation till media can produce propaganda and investigators lose interest because of stone walling. Reality is that when there is no once being held accountable on any level in government for these actions there is no reason not to stonewall even when by law you can’t. Gillabrand and Schumer and AOC talk a good game but haven’t be followed up. At least Tim Bourchardt tells it like it is that people like Mike Johnson and many others on both sides are beholding to military and Intelligence administrative state to kill anything on this subject. There will be no more info coming out from active government sources because of no accountability among bad actors in government and our media being nothing more than propagandists now that run interference for this Administration and the Administrative state. Good show but Ross as a gun owner its very hard snd expensive to have access to automatic weapon. The guns you speak about are semi automatics. No Bryce there are not mass shootings everyday they are gang incidents classified as mass shootings. 87% of gun deaths are committed in gang activity and 70% of those weapons are illegally obtained. 86% of gang membership now is of non citizens. Go after gangs and ship off non citizens and your gun violence issue drops by 70%. Dont blame legal gun owners and dont spread bad info. Automatic weapons have been hard to obtain and you go through multiple Federal government checks and at least $15000 of fees to obtain one. Truth on all subjects are needed not unfounded hyperbole.

    Need to Know NOT updated weekly
    I’ve never seen such a weak effort in supplying content to a podcast. Below the title it says “updated weekly”. That’s fraudulent. Once a month updates bordering on once every 2 months. Hopefully Apple Podcasts fixes that “updated weekly” lie.

    Fantastic show on UAP
    These guys know people and drop hints on the UAP subject.
  • PDFhappens
    What’s happening
    Plain and simple! Why is everyone letting the heat simmer?
  • Chuckles Big Belt Buckles
    The BEST!
    These guys are blowing the top off the UAP disclosure! I bought Mr Coultarth’s book recently and just HAD to listen to this show. If you’re interested in the subject then you have to listen. I also listen to Weaponized with Knapp and Corbell, which is also a great podcast. Do yourself a favor and listen to these guys. Thanks for all your hard work and professionalism! You guys are great 👍
  • Isis of Sophia
    So grateful for your work!
    If you weren’t doing what you do- this disclosure wouldn’t be happening. Great JOB! I look forward to anything you say. Thank you!!!

    Unsung Heroes
    I want to express my appreciation to Bryce and Ross for their courageous and incredibly tantalizing coverage of UAP/UFOs, and particularly their role in introducing David Grusch to the world. While George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell were recognized in the Congressional Oversight Committee with special invitations, there are others like myself that recognize your importance and contribution to what I hope will be seen in a watershed moment in human history. Ross’ commentary on the state of US investigative journalism resonates with this reader/listener. Don’t give up the fight, and for God’s sake, get us some more content!

    Comment July 8 podcast
    First, I have really appreciated your podcast and I find that the information and what you both have indicated we might expect on the horizon to be generally accurate and I thank you both for that. I have a concern that has grown since David Grusch’s revelations. I have noticed an increase in the narrative, from a few GOP politicians and many of you pundits, that the GOP is more concerned/interested in the subject and getting to the bottom of it. I think it is unwise to push that perspective to the point where Americans come to believe that to be true, especially in the political environment the U.S. is currently experiencing. America cannot afford to allow Republicans to control our government, IMO, and this singular issue could have a serious effect on the outcome of our next election. Please consider that the GOP has made a strategic pre election calculation to appear to be “the party” to elect if we want to achieve “disclosure”. The appetite for disclosure is demonstrably increasing. While I agree that the Republicans are publicly pushing the issue, I would hate to see the media suggest that voting for Republicans will get us to “disclosure” and Democrats wouldn’t. Admittedly, I lean more to the progressive side and this issue concerns me. Thank you.

    Arguably the most important UFO podcast
    Pretty much anyone can do a UFO/paranormal podcast, and lately it seems like pretty much everyone is. That said, it is worth highlighting the precious few that truly have something valuable and up-to-date to offer, and Need to Know falls into that category. This is the closest you’ll get to a professional, non-sensationalistic, and mainstream journalistic approach to a subject of UAP. Bryce Zabel knows the history of the topic like few do, and Ross Coulthart has the sources to be able to get far beyond the headlines. The historical context and political/ cultural analysis is excellent, and this is a good way for those who are skeptical or ambivalent about the subject to dip a toe into what is likely to emerge as the most important story in the history of humanity. No need to start with episode one, just dive in, and Ross and Bryce will get you caught up.

    To two smart fellas
    Love this show. I hope these two will be the first to report when the aliens land to tell us they are real because they are tired of waiting for the government to do it.
  • man who looks inside for cues
    Love balanced talk that is just another left leaning narrative
    These men are great conduits for the ufo narrative to listen to informed sources. They arent spilling a false story thst the media wants and left owned companies are jamming down our throat. Keep it up men
  • ghqeriu
    Take the opportunity…
    …when contemporaneous events ebb to catch us up on the content suppressed over 70-plus years. With so much suppressed or”disinterpreted,” as we have been expected to assume, ”investigative journalists“ shouldn’t be fasting. The suppressors and disinterpreters surely did not anticipate the technologies of today. Have you been distracted?

    My Favorite UFO Podcast
    This is my favorite one to listen to, it’s well balanced and up to date. I only wish there were more episodes! Thank you for being an consistent & smart source for UAP news
  • damdick
    Bryce Zabel suckkkkks
    Sorry Ross, you’re great but Bryce Zabel (clearly a fake, poorly made up name) is insufferable. Two thumbs way down 👎🏼
  • Tony Quintanilla
    Excellent
    Great fact-based and journalistic discussion. Thoughts: maybe we are a threat to the non-human intelligence with our ecological disruption if in fact we share this world. If so, what do we do when an animal or other creature threatens us? We either eradicate them, or we contain them, or assimilate them. Can an animal understand us? How would we relate to a non-human intelligence and vice-versa?

    Scratches that Itch!
    I consume a lot of UFO/UAP info and media, and this is by far one of my favorite venues. Credible journalists speaking about, with a level head, what everyone else still seems to avoid like the plague. Thanks for filling that void, gents. Also, my personal urban dictionary is now thick with gems like “bobs up in the custard” and “wet lettuce”. Brilliant. I’ve finally caught up to the latest episode in mid Sep2022 and I’m disappointed I’ll have to wait weeks, not minutes, for my next fix. Love. This. Pod. Cast.

    Need to Know Podcast
    This is one of the few shows that discusses facts rather then ruminates on speculation. BTW, watch those palm fronds as they will hurt you severely. Glad you’re healing up.

  • tb get heeded Cf ffff
    Probably the most solid podcast on the subject.
    They do a great job being actual journalist approaching a topic that’s finding a non-fringe footing. There is something to it.

  • BigHeaded Beard
    A refreshing example of “How To Talk About UFO/UAP’s”
    There are not enough of these kinds of conversations taking place in our society today. A once taboo subject, now being discussed openly and honestly by serious people. Serious questions with serious answers (when available). An open dialogue calling for accountability while seeking truths. What a wonderfully positive way to raise the collective consciousness regarding the subject. Bravo gentlemen, please keep up the good work and don’t let this turn into a once a quarter podcast. I will continue to check everyday for a new conversation. Respectfully; The Angry Goat

    A must listen for everyone who seeks the truth
    I could listen to this podcast for hours and it seems like only minutes while anxious to listen even more. Their knowledge of UFO’s and UAP’s is addicting. If you want an answer to, “Are we alone?”, this is a fantastic start to follow.

    Great overview
    I really enjoyed this, and I can’t recommend it enough. Ross Coulthart is certainly a credible journalist and both hosts treat the issue respectfully, intelligently without flamboyance or hype.
  • PublicLand_HitMann
    Bravo!
    Excellent show, Ross and Bryce! The UAP/UFO topic is about to get super hot with the main stream and we really need avenues like this for the new comers. Ross and Bryce tackle the hard questions, are in the know, have great sources, and show the receipts. Bravo, guys!
