Hey hey hey! This week my guest is the brilliant, Smiles Lewis! Smiles is someone I've wanted to have on the show from the get go. He's one of my favorite thinkers in the UFO game, and also, was an OG in the 90s zine scene. We cover a lot of ground - we reference some of Smiles' thoughts on what UFOs represent, and how they've been manipulated since the beginning. We also cover some of the happenings in the analogue zine scene of the 90's. What a time! I hope you all enjoy it! Love, Steve&nbs...

Jeff Knox: Preserving UFO HIstory

Hey hey hey! This week, my guest is Jeff Knox. Jeff is a wealth of knowledge on UFO history (my favorite kind of history) and has blown me away with his daily Today in UFO History drops on social media.

I feel that what he does is one of the most important contributions to the history of UFOs. Go Jeff go! Enjoy, friends. Love, Steve For...
