Aliens & the Fermi Paradox | Episode 7
Are there aliens out there in the universe? If so, why haven’t we seen any? Maybe aliens have already visited us in the past. What if they are here observing us right now? If we do finally make contact with aliens, what does that mean for us? Join us as we explore the Fermi paradox, great filters, abduction conspiracy theories, and more mysteries of the universe.

Is Climate Change the End of Humanity? | Episode 6
We’ve been told for decades now that there is a climate catastrophe heading our way. Science says that the world is warming, and that humans are the cause, but over half of Americans disagree. Is climate change just a hoax designed to drive us towards communism? How do we know that the temperature changes we’ve seen aren’t natural? If global warming is real, can we even do anything about it, and are 2 degrees Celsius really going to bring about the end of humanity?
