We decided to stray in a different direction to talk about something quintessentially American. You've heard of country, Americana, and indie music, but what were their roots? Like cuisine, fine and modern arts, poetry, and fiction, we use music to tell stories of what's happening to us right now.

And what about when the government admitted that UFOs were real back in 2017? We take a look back to one of the earlier encounters that vastly influenced pop culture and how we think about "little green men" and "greys" to this day.

Sometimes, you wonder where human evolution will take us. Are we to return to monke? Will we all become crab? When we ask where we'll go, we must look back at where we've been. Which direction did our hominid ancestors go? Perhaps........ Bigfoot?

YIKES. It would have sucked to be an Italian grocer in New Orleans in 1918 and 1919. Do you believe the Axe Man was a singular person? Would you have jazzed it out in March 1919? Do you think Pepitone's widow killed the real Axe Man?
