People have been trying to communicate with the dead since the beginning of human history. Since entering the industrial age, technology has opened new avenues to attempt to make connections with the spirit world. Instrumental Transcommunication is the belief that people can use electronics, such as radios and televisions, to communicate with those who have passed. Anabela Cardoso, career diplomat and founder of ITC Journal.org, and Diana Deutsch, Professor of Psychology at UC San Diego, join us to discuss the history, possible scientific explanations, and the still lingering mysteries.
