  • S04E04 - Alien Invasion with Dr Seth Shostak

    S04E04 - Alien Invasion with Dr Seth Shostak
    Nov 15 2020
    This week in my conversation with Seth Shostak, we chat about SETI and their search for intelligent extraterrestrial life and trying to find evidence that there’s someone out there, other than us. I first heard Seth in his TED talk where he made a very grand prediction that we will hear from aliens in the next decade so it was exciting to hear that he still believes this to be true.   See more from Dr Seth Shostak   #sethshostak   Website: https://www.seti.org/our-scientists/seth-shostak    Further Reading and Resources: This episode is based on Invasion of the Body Snachers by Jack Finney and can be purchased here.

  • S04E03 - Astrobiology with Professor Paul Davies

    S04E03 - Astrobiology with Professor Paul Davies
    Nov 3 2020
    It was such a wonderful experience chatting with Professor Paul Davies, who is an incredible theoretical physicist, cosmologist, astrobiologist and best-selling science author of 31 books. He has published hundreds of research papers and review articles across a range of scientific fields. He is also well-known as a media personality and science populariser in several countries. Professor Davies is the author of Demon In The Machine which, in the very first chapter, begins with the question ‘What is life?’ so I naturally had to begin with the question of panspermia, which is the theory which suggests that life on Earth did not originate on our planet. Big questions were tackled this week as we dove into our origins, whether or not we are alone and the hunt for a new earth.

  • S04E02 - UFO's + The Government with Robert Powell

    S04E02 - UFO's + The Government with Robert Powell
    Oct 18 2020
    In this episode, I chat with Robert Powell who is both a UFOlogist and Chemist. I sought out to interview Robert after I found he was the co-author of the book UFOs and Government alongside a cast of international authors headed by Michael Swords, a retired professor at Western Michigan University with extensive knowledge of UFO history, and managed by Robert Powell, director of research at the Mutual UFO Network. The authors spent more than four years researching thousands of government documents and archives in order to present a work of historical scholarship on the U.S. government’s bungling response to the UFO phenomenon. How and why the U.S. government—and other governments around the world—have dealt with the UFO phenomenon during most of a century is the focus of this historical inquiry. We cover a lot of ground in this episode including the real-life x-files, how many sightings are legitimate and the most convincing, the element 115, the government, and the future with aliens.
