  • Yeah, I'm not in love with this 1. This "only buffoons believe in conspiracies" tone that I'm not quite appreciating. That seems to be a common tone here & on middle theory. I'm an extremely far left, so obviously I have no problem w/the middle theory stuff. But to insist on a praising NASA might be too far for me. Considering the testimony of whistleblowers like Donna Hare all the way up to current w/Bill Nelson calling Grusch "a guy who heard some stuff". Plenty of reasons to stay BITTER!

    You have a great show, please stop with the politics! All it does is divide on subject matter that everybody should come together on!

  • Thanks for your statement, Micah…

    … prefacing your most recent show. It was courageous and powerful. I understand your hesitancy to speak about politics, but things are so bad in our country right now that it is both righteous and responsible to do so. Kudos to you!

  • Don’t Go Political

    Always loved listening to Micah but he seems to be making political statements on the podcast. Wish he would stick to the UAP narrative. Reminds me of some of Hollywood actors or comedians who go political and I feel they lose half the country who disagree with their stance.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Adena Enigma: Serpent Mound, Curious Tablets, and the Mound Builder Mythos | MHP 03.30.26.
Q: What does archaeology tell us about the Adena, in terms of who they were and how they lived?
The Adena were an early woodland culture in the Ohio River Valley, not a single tribe but a loose affiliation of communities that practiced small-scale agriculture, extensive trade, and ritual-centered site use centered around earthworks and mounds, with distinctive Adena traits such as polished slate pendants and cranial deformation.

Q: What is the significance of McCasland's role as Director of Special Programs in relation to the UFO narrative?
The host explains that while McCasland oversaw highly classified programs, not all information would have been accessible to him, highlighting the compartmentalization of SAPs and how that matters for understanding what he might have known about UFO-related research.
The Disappearance of Maj. Gen. Neil McCasland | MHP 03.17.26.
