About the show

Rense first tried his hand at radio while an education major at the University of California Santa Barbara. Sometime in 1994 Rense decided to self-finance his own
radio show [ [http://www.rense.com/aboutnew1.htm ABOUT THE SHOW - Jeff Rense Program ] ] and approached Santa Barbara radio station KTMS with his idea for a talk radio show.The web stream radio show was originally known as "Sightings", by agreement with actor/producer Henry Winkler, who was producing the syndicated television show "Sightings on the Radio" (TV-Series 1992-1997). [ [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103549/ "Sightings" (1992) ] ] The radio show was web broadcast at the web address www.sightings.com. About the year 2000, all reference to "Sightings" was dropped, and the new web site www.rense.com was introduced. The show is broadcast live over radio networks, satellite radio and the internet.

how topics & previous guests

Two recurring themes on the Rense show are a general mistrust of the establishment (particularly the right wing), and the attacks on the New York World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Regular guests include conspiracy theorists, geopolitical experts, ufologists, and critics of the establishment such as congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, Jordan Maxwell, and Devvy Kidd. One of Rense's favourite guests is paranormal expert Brad Steiger, who is also a personal friend of Rense. Rense has also interviewed controversial South African journalist Jani Allan and ex-Zimbabwean Jan Lamprecht, who became a regular commentator. The Rense.com web page access is now restricted (as of 12/2007) from some users by the Websense firewall, which blocks the site under the categories "racism" and "hate", due primarily to the presence of a great many anti-Jewish and pro-Nazi Holocaust denial articles on the site. Other favorite topics of Rense include genetically modified food, chemtrail analysis, the effects of Mobile phone radiation on the human body, and illegal immigration.
