In this episode of UP+ADAM, we’re joined by Stanley Milford Jr.—author of The Paranormal Ranger: A Navajo Investigator’s Search for the Unexplained and a former law enforcement officer with over two decades of experience. Raised with a deep connection to both Navajo and Cherokee cultures, Stanley takes us on an enthralling journey through his career investigating the paranormal as a Navajo Ranger, exploring everything from Bigfoot sightings to eerie poltergeist hauntings on the Navajo Nation. His unique perspective, combining cultural insight and law enforcement expertise, provides a fascinating lens through which to view these extraordinary cases.

Every Thursday on Up+Adam we will celebrate ARTober in SLO!

In this special ARTober edition of Up+Adam, in partnership with the City of San Luis Obispo, we’re highlighting the exciting grand opening of the SLO Film Center with Executive Director Skye McLennan. The SLO Film Center, a brand-new collaboration between the SLO Film Festival and the iconic Palm Theatre, is set to open its doors on October 2nd, marking a significant milestone for the local film community. This episode dives into how the Center will serve as a year-round hub for independent film, educational programs, and cultural events, expanding the Festival’s mission to create more spaces for creative expression and storytelling.

Skye shares the vision behind the Film Center’s creation, the unique programming in store for its first season, and the impact she hopes it will have on both emerging filmmakers and local audiences. We discuss how partnerships with local organizations and the city have made this dream a reality and why the Film Center is poised to become a cornerstone of SLO’s cultural arts district. Whether you’re a film buff, aspiring filmmaker, or just curious about what the Center has to offer, this conversation will have you ready to grab your tickets and experience the magic of independent cinema right in the heart of downtown SLO.
