    Love the show. Been listening for years. I know you have other podcasts for politics and other things so lately I’ve noticed a longer intro of other news and politics so maybe stick more to the primary purpose of this podcast for science and UAP/UFO and less on other topics. Beyond that it’s an awesome show!

  • A balanced, rational human being who speaks with compassion and intelligence.

    Micah is a balanced, rational human being who speaks with compassion and intelligence. You don’t have to always agree with him - but isn’t that the point. The world is just too binary these days and we have to move away from that way of thinking or it could end us.

    Just listened to his most recent podcast lamenting on modern America, violence and the passing of Eric Von Daniken. Beautiful words Micah - I hope you do re-visit the balanced news format of podcast - the world needs perspective rig... more
