The last hour of the show featured Open Lines.

Producer Victoria Holt discussed the upcoming Sci-Fi Channel TV series, The Gift, which is now casting. The new reality show is a kind of "Psychic American Idol," she said, in which participants will be put through a boot camp run by psychics, including medium John Holland. Remote viewer David Morehouse will host the program.

Author Robert Felix joined the show to comment on the report that Antarctic ice is shrinking. He finds such studies to be misleading and argued that snow depth and glaciers are actually increasing in size.
