Fantastic, absolutely riveting podcast about the unknown that actually...keeps it real! Love the storytelling, the subtle effects, the delivery and the questioning at the end...Robert Barber does an excellent job of reflecting on each episode by questioning the validity, the possibility, the reasoning and the parallels while encouraging each listener to use their own personal beliefs and reasoning to come to their own conclusions~ and possibly reflecting on their own story a little as well...
