Well Mayor Pete threw a lot of us a curve-ball with his dropping out of the 2020 presidential race. Especially the two of us who had a whole show planned about the mayor from South Bend Indiana.....

So we talked instead about what this means for the remaining candidates as well as discussing how the DNC may be pulling some strings behind closed doors.

It's a short episode with talk of Love, Loss, and politics.

Hope you enjoy,

New Full Episode Next Week.

In this weeks episode we take a look at the work and theories of John Anthony West, Graham Hancock, and Robert Schoch.

We consider if the history we are taught in school is not the complete story, and what gaps they may be omitting.

From there we take a look at a group of people who have a similar views, formed by Helena Blavatsky in the hope of unraveling the mysteries of what she calls the "Root People' who practiced the "Root Religion."

It's a fun episode, with Egypt, Grand Mysteries, and a society in the search of truth.
