  • Solid information- no hype

    This guy is simply the best. Good, credible guests and well informed material combined with class delivery.

    He knows his stuff and doesn’t need drama and over the top nonsense to make his point.

    Five stars👍

  • 5-star

    Not a fan of the bumper music at all.. That said this should be necessary listening to anyone into the UFO phenomenon. You’re gonna hear things you don’t wanna hear but need to. Micah is the sherbet palette cleanser to all the lopsided podcasts and YouTube channels out there. I don’t always agree but I can’t say I ever disagree with his takes either.
