  • Quit with politics!

    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.

  • TDS “Line in the sand” “not my president” on latest ep

    This show has slid farther left than his other show; middle ground, with the the April episodes being very politically divisive. I wish he would keep politics to middle ground.

  • Stop talking politics

    I listened to Micah for years because his show was about science. No longer. I quit following the show this week when Micah said he rarely talks politics then proceeded on a 15 minute rant about politics. Go do a political show if that is your passion, but don’t advertise as science. You have every right to speak your mind, and I have every right not to listen. Moving on.

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.
The Disappearance of Maj. Gen. Neil McCasland | MHP 03.17.26.
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.
