Michael Corbin Has Died
Posted by: Loren Coleman on March 21st, 2008
Michael Corbin, radio talk show host who formerly ran Paranet Information Services, died suddenly of a massive stroke at the age of 52, on March 18, 2008. Five years ago, Corbin’s radio studio was firebombed prompting a Denver police investigation with inconclusive results.
Over the years, especially before 9/11, Corbin interviewed cryptozoology-involved guests. For example, on February 9, 1997, his guest was Robert Pyle, author of Where Bigfoot Walks: Crossing the Dark Divide.
Corbin interviewed numerous Forteans, Bigfooters, and others in his early radio days, such as Tracy Torme (4/24/94), Tom Adams (5/15/94), Jerry Clark (6/12/94 & 12/21/97), Stan Gordon (7/15/98), Jim Keith (2-21-99), Michael Hoffman (5/9/99), and Jacques Vallee (3/17/96).
As a professional Michael was a pioneer in internet news reporting and web broadcasting. Paranormal themes accented his work in the 80s and 90s but the political and economic turmoil of the new millennium caused Michael to turn his many skills on the problem of global elites and their unjust control of the world’s political, economic and religious institutions.William H.

egads, it’s like an entire spectrum of Silver Age Forteans are being systematically taken by the Great Crptid in the Sky!
Condolences to the family and loved ones.
Well that’s a drag. I had a great conversation with him years ago during his Paranet days about a triangle ufo we had both seen a few weeks apart in the skies above Denver.
Wherever he is now he knows what the real scoop is.
Rest easy, Mike.
I´m very sorry to hear of this. I did not know him well, but I did talk to him on occasion. I enjoyed his net radio show, even when he began exploring deep politics and other conspiracies. I wish him well on his new journey.
