   Signs of Life - Mediums & Messages, October 15, 2026

   Signs of Life with Bob Ginsberg Tattoos, Terrier-Faced Sons, and Dimes From Heaven: Mediums and Messages with Sirry Berndsen On this Mediums and Messages hour of Signs of Life, host Joe Perreta welcomes certified medium Sirry Berndsen back to talk about scientific testing of mediumship before turning the phone lines over to three callers hoping to hear from fathers, husbands, and a lost son. A Retreat Announcement and a Returning Medium Joe Perreta opens Mediums and Messages on Signs of Life Radio for the Forever Family Foundation, inviting listeners to call in live at the show's toll-free number and suggesting a landline for the clearest reception. He thanks sponsor Hugs from Heaven, which turns loved ones' clothing into keepsakes, and previews the foundation's Winter Grief Transformation Retreat running January fifteenth through seventeenth, an all-inclusive weekend he notes was featured on the Netflix series Surviving Death. Before opening the phones, Perreta introduces tonight's guest medium, Sirry Berndsen, describing her as a certified Forever Family Foundation medium, grief recovery specialist, Reiki master, and multilingual visual artist originally from Iceland who has traveled widely. The two trade warm, teasing banter about social media oddly surfacing Perreta's posts on Berndsen's feed, and about the habit of posting lighter content to draw people toward more serious work, setting a familiar, easy tone between old friends before the evening's readings begin. Inside the University of Virginia Lab Perreta and Berndsen revisit their shared experience being tested at the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia, a quadruple-blinded study delayed by the pandemic that Berndsen completed in February of 2020, just before shutdowns began. Both recall being sealed inside a soundproof, vault-like room wired with roughly sixty electrodes to monitor brainwaves, forbidden to move for fear of creating recording artifacts, and given no feedback on accuracy the way a normal reading allows. Berndsen laughs about the gel cap tangling her thick hair and about being told to receive and stop receiving on command, unlike her natural flow. She recalls an MRI scan afterward and hearing researchers say mediums' brains light up differently, while Perreta jokes that he still keeps his own MRI disc in a drawer at home. Both call the Forever Family Foundation's own certification test the hardest they have faced, though Berndsen says she passed on her first try. A Guarded Question About Star Beings Berndsen shifts to a recent research request from an unnamed organization asking mediums about non-human intelligence, which she says touched on what she calls star beings, describing having had several back-and-forth encounters she once feared made her sound crazy until other people validated similar experiences. She declines to give details, saying it is not her place to share what was asked, though she notes the reporting period has just closed. Perreta says he also contributed a different, unrelated validating story to the same inquiry without elaborating. Both agree the broader science of consciousness and survival research continues quietly behind the scenes even when the public hears little about it, and that such work extends well beyond spirit communication alone. Perreta then reintroduces Berndsen by her full name and website, spiritoflight.com, joking about mangling her Icelandic surname, before the two finally turn to the night's three waiting callers. Kathy and a Father Taken by Lung Cancer Kathy from Pennsylvania asks for a connection, and Berndsen brings through a man she places as Kathy's husband, a father of two who died from lung cancer that spread to his brain, affecting his speech in his final two months. Kathy confirms he passed three days before Thanksgiving, after nearly fourteen years. Berndsen describes a grandson born in 2023, a daughter who lives near farmland and recently miscarried, and a

   Signs of Life - Medium Insights, October 9, 2026

   Signs of Life with Bob Ginsberg - Medium Insights with host Roman Karpishka and guest Certified FFF Medium Renee Buck Ancestral Spirits, Fraud In Mediumship, and the Telepathy Tapes Boom with Renee Buck On this Medium Insights hour of Signs of Life, host Roman Karpishka welcomes Minnesota medium Renee Buck back for a sixth visit to talk ancestor spirits, fading mediums who lose their gift, a funny message from her own late sister, and how the Telepathy Tapes podcast is bringing skeptics to her door. A Sixth Visit for Renee Buck Roman Karpishka opens the monthly Medium Insights hour of Signs of Life for the Forever Family Foundation by welcoming back certified medium Renee Buck, whom he calculates is making her sixth appearance, tracked in saved files of listener questions he keeps between visits. He recaps her story: a Minnesota medium who had out-of-body experiences and prophetic dreams as a child, who did not consciously begin developing her gift until her forties through visits to spiritualist churches, and who now runs a thriving practice called Whispers From The Light. Karpishka reads the show's commercial-free call-in number and reminds listeners that tonight's questions concern mediumship itself rather than personal readings. The two trade easy small talk about unseasonably warm Minnesota weather, hockey loyalties including Karpishka's own Montreal Canadiens, and gentle teasing over Wisconsin versus Minnesota cheeseheads before settling into the evening's prepared questions. Generations of Spirits and Family History Karpishka reads a listener's question asking whether spirits who died half a century or more earlier ever come through, and how spirit feels about messages families cannot act on. Renee Buck says older relatives surface often, even when the sitter never met them personally, because families carry photos and stories that supply usable evidence. She notes that particular careers, talents, or themes tend to thread through generations, and spirits may reveal how long ago they lived, where they immigrated from, or what culture they carried, though confirming very distant ancestors is harder without documented evidence to draw on. Buck adds that loved ones in spirit care deeply about families knowing their own heritage, and she encourages listeners who have never researched family history to begin, since naming and knowing ancestors can draw them closer. Karpishka notes that without a sitter who recognizes the names or vernacular involved, a spirit may have little reason to come through at all. When Mediumship Goes Wrong The conversation turns to mediums who lose their way. Renee Buck says she has watched developing mediums with real ability fade once greed, ego, or a wish to manipulate sitters crept into their work, recalling one unnamed medium who used readings to steer people toward her own self-interest. Buck frames the gift as a kind of promise to spirit and to Source, one that must serve others rather than the medium herself. Karpishka raises the familiar pattern of well-known mediums whose published books later turned out to be ghostwritten, though neither names anyone directly. Buck then answers a question about timing after a loss, describing an early window when the newly passed linger to comfort the living, followed by what she calls a whiteout period of roughly two weeks to three months when the spirit is reintegrating and readings grow murky. She generally advises waiting about five months, so the connection clarifies and the sitter's own grief has calmed enough to meet spirit halfway. A Sister's Message About the Laundry Renee Buck shares a story from her mediumship class the previous night, in which a newer student brought through one of Buck's own late sisters, offering evidence about knitting, close friendships, and a homecoming chariot before blurting out the message put away the clothes, which Buck laughs is exactly the unfinished closet swap sitting in her bedroom and exac

   Signs of Life - The Gathering, October 1, 2026

   Signs of Life with Bob Ginsberg Signs After a Son's Death, Shared Death Experiences, and Trillions of Souls Bob Ginsberg and co-hosts Tom and Melissa Gould open The Gathering with a grieving mother's letter about her son's death, then take calls about a husband's final night, the purpose of suffering, and whether other worlds hold souls too. Opening Announcements and Allie's Letter Bob Ginsberg opens The Gathering on Signs of Life with co-hosts Tom and Melissa Gould, noting that Marta Kane could not join them, so the three will improvise the hour. Bob mentions a California mediumship and psychic development convention with only four or five seats left, and a January grief retreat in Fort Myers, Florida, that he believes runs January 15 through 17. Before opening the phone lines, he reads an email from a mother named Allie, whose son died unexpectedly on September 4, 2026. Today would have been his twentieth birthday. Allie writes that she keeps asking for signs, wonders whether her son needs time to learn how to reach them, and feels the Western world does not honor grief as much as it celebrates birth. She also notes that she has only three days of bereavement leave and is already rushed back to work. Bob agrees that three days is far too little. Signs, Subtle Messages, and a Group Dinner Bob answers Allie's question about an adjustment period by saying that for some people there may be one, especially those who did not believe in survival. He notes that many people communicate at or soon after death, and that some souls have a stronger resonance than others. Tom Gould advises Allie to stop pushing, because pressure and concentration can act as a block. He suggests meditation to clear the everyday mind and reminds her that most signs are subtle, such as a favorite song on the radio, a bird on the windowsill, or a coin on the ground. Tom then says grief must be felt fully, quoting a Forever Family Foundation facilitator: feel it until you don't feel it anymore. Melissa Gould adds that a recent group dinner of about twenty-five people, led by certified medium Gina Simone, unexpectedly brought through two newly passed spirits, which Simone found surprising. Fabi Recalls Her Husband's Final Night Fabi calls in on what she says is her late husband's birthday, and she recounts how he was attacked and killed abruptly at a property the couple owned while she was somewhere else. That evening she felt a presence holding her in place, and she had a horrible dream she still remembers clearly. Neighbors saw his car in the driveway, door open and engine running, and a shelf seemed to drop without falling. Fabi says he was found alive but was already in a transitioning state, and she had the same dream again on later nights while he was on life support. Bob Ginsberg says the dreams were communication frightening to her, not simply nightmares, and that the mind and soul continue when the body is failing. He mentions shared death experiences and says the evidence is mounting. Fabi says she had never heard of them but now sees that he was trying to reach her. She recalls growing up across the street from him. Melissa asks his name; Fabi says it was Tony. Alissa Asks Why Suffering Exists Alissa calls in, saying her mother's painful death led her to this work, and she describes years in global humanitarian development in places where people endure intense suffering. She asks whether anyone who connects with the other side has learned why such horrors happen, and whether people choose their hardships before birth. Bob Ginsberg calls it an age-old question, one his own family asks about relatives lost in the Holocaust. He says there are no definitive answers, that events may happen for a reason we see only from the other side, and that free will plays a role. Tom Gould describes what the Goulds have heard about a soul contract, and says that the joy and love found on the other side make hardship on this plane a kind of traini
