The Host of Let’s Find Out Sits Down to Answer Some Questions
Diego is a man who does not fear the unknown or unexplained. He turns and faces it, regardless of the situation. Host of Let’s Find Out with Diego, he often interviews those who touch the fringes of the supernatural. In over 100 episodes, Diego’s guests have included the hosts of Spirit Xperience, Bone Jawson (author of The Legend of Crick Foot), The UFO Paradox author Keith Thompson, paranormal investigator Robin Strom-Mackey, UFO witness Chris Evers, and many more.
In 2025, Diego authored a mini-memoir about experiences throughout his lifetime that remain unexplained. The book, titled I Remember the Crib (yes, it’s as terrifying as the title) details audio, visual, and physical phenomena that Diego remembers from infancy to his adult life. He was kind enough to sit down and answer a few questions about his book, his podcast, and the endless search to explain that which defies explanation.
NK: Diego, welcome! Thanks for joining me and taking the time. I have to say I found I Remember the Crib to be an absolute page turner. Some of these memories were really wild. What made you decide to launch the podcast and to share these memories also?
Diego: My friend, I appreciate the kind words about my book and for the invitation to join you on this interview. Honestly, writing a book wasn’t in any of my plans, but these stories have been living in my mind for so many years. I’ve done many interviews on Let’s Find Out with Diego, and all the stories and experiences my guests have bravely told on my show are very important. As the years passed by, I sat down in the studio and just started writing my experiences down just to see how much I could remember. Turns out that there were plenty to choose from. The podcast was born around 3 years ago shortly after another podcast (2020 to mid 2022) I was doing with a former partner came to an end. The prior podcast was mostly about pro-wrestling and other types of subjects. I started looking to add more stories about paranormal and cryptids to shake up the format a little. But once the old show had its last episode, I took a couple of months to regroup and start the current one. With Let’s Find Out with Diego, it is a great mix of Paranormal, Cryptozoology, UFOIogy and other types of high strangeness. From time to time, I veer off and do other subjects, then I started another podcast late in 2024 called Bonus Overdrive Wednesday. It goes down more covering music, movies, and other things in the entertainment side of things.
NK: Some of these are physical. Others are visual. One that tripped me out was the story of the house across the street and ABBA’s Chiquitita. I had never heard it before, so I tracked it down immediately. I can’t imagine that song for hours. Have you heard it since, and what was that experience like?
Diego: I haven’t heard that since 1982 and to be on the up and up, I really don’t care to listen to it again. Don’t get me wrong, the song is good and I don’t dislike ABBA, but from that experience I had when I was a very young child, it will forever live in me. If I were to hear that song again, I would consider it some sort of warning from a spiritual force long ago. I don’t qualify ABBA or that song to have any sort of supernatural backstory or origin, and I don’t think that the band had that sort of reputation, at least not that I know of. I tell you what, I do love that Dancing Queen song though.
NK: So many of your stories are also stories about the places you lived at the time. Your stories about being a child in Rio Piedras, or your early years in Virgina really reflect the evolution and industrialization of those areas. Is there one place that you’ve mentioned where you would choose to live if you could?
Diego: With the locations of the stories, it started out in Puerto Rico, then they followed me to Virginia. I moved out of Virginia about 6 years ago and moved to West Virginia where the experiences still happen in the present day. Most likely, I will live out the rest of my days in WV.
NK: Based on your West Virginia home, put to rest some questions that the skeptics will ask. How much of these things are structural, or just those normal things that happen to a homeowner? How many just defy explanation?
Diego: That’s a great question, as with many of these types of stories, it’s poor judgment to just label something “paranormal” and let that be the end of it. There are many factors that come into play that may have the appearance of the supernatural, but it may just be a whole lot of nothing too. There were plenty of moments in this house that were just normal home noises and nothing out of the ordinary. As I stated earlier, not everything is paranormal no matter how much you want it to be. I’ll say this my friend, I don’t go looking for the paranormal, it comes looking for me for whatever reason. I’m naturally a skeptic, and in doing 100’s of field interviews in my prior line of work, I take that same strategy to see what qualifies or if the math doesn’t add up. In the book, I only write about what I identify as being paranormal or highly strange. I invite the reader to determine that for themselves, and I don’t make it a point in convincing anyone.
NK: There are several instances you mention when you were young, single, hustling to make it in sports entertainment, and there are others where you mention your wife and your family. How has your perspective changed if you compared those periods in your life?
Diego: I tell you what, if I were still involved in that lifestyle and in sports entertainment things would have for sure turned out differently for me. Not for the better but for the worse. There’s only so much of that Uncle Charlie life you can live until it’s time to pay the devil his due. It works for some, but for me that all ended in December of 2010. It’s no longer just about me and getting my time in the spotlight, those days are way over. My wife is on this crazy ride with me now and man that’s about the most awesome thing.
NK: Are there any stories you omitted from the book that you would include now if you could?
Diego: 100% yes. There are just a couple of stories that I didn’t add, one that happened just last year in January of 2024. Life changing event, one that maybe MUFON can explain. With that being said, that experience is so detailed, so personal that I would need to tell it to someone and they would have to write it down for me. Some unfortunate circumstances and events from that experience have changed my life forever both mentally and physically. I’ve only shared that story with 2 people, one being my wife and another one with a Shaman friend of mine. I wouldn’t even know how to write it all down by myself, but I hope to one day share it, if not in a book, then it will be on the show.
NK: I know you don’t frequent other channels when sharing the things that drive you. It can be considered a commoditized market of those who want to market the paranormal, but I think your stories are raw, unedited, and very personal. Thanks for sharing your stories and your ongoing investigation into the unknown. Would you like to share any upcoming news, appearances, events, or guests coming to Let’s Find Out?
Diego: I have several events that I will be in later this year. My good friend Snarly Yow puts on some great events, this year I will be at Cryptid Halloween in October and Christmas with Krampus in December, and both will be in Hagerstown, MD. I invite everyone to visit my socials if they’re interested in coming out and not only supporting the show, but all the other hard working vendors, authors, investigators and artists. Please check out https://linktr.ee/diegothepodcaster and it will take you to all the different sites and socials on which you can find information about the podcast.
I really appreciate the support, and for having me in this interview. Thank you for taking this journey with me!
Best regards,
