Our culture is deep steeped in stories of intrigue and murder, but one of the pressing questions that takes a closer look is whether or not serial killers are made or born. The ancient question of nature vs. nurture takes a very dark turn. What do you think?

Music:  Blip Stream by Kevin MacLeod Hurdy Gurdy Man by Donovan Tiptoe through the Tulips by Tiny Tim The Ripper by Judas Priest (apologies in advance for some of the echoeyness, some of it couldn't be avoided :( )

While we were talking about aliens, we ventured into the idea of beaming up, which led to a 13 minute tangent. 

Inspired from some conversations regarding the Fermi Paradox,we have a casual chat about the probability of Aliens existing and the challenges of finding them - or them finding us. 

Do you think Aliens have already visited Earth? 

Music:  Blip Stream - Kevin MacLeod Infinitesimal - Mother Mother Starman - David Bowie

Is Elvis alive? Are we part of an alternative timeline? Does the FBI have assassination technology? Could Josh be a robot?!

This episode we do an overview of conspiracies, why we are drawn to them, and which we believe might be real.

Oh what tangled podcasts we weave, when we get sidetracked and talk of bees.  

In this episode, we talk fictional religions in movies and games and delve into some of the more fantastical elements of real religions that we see on our big and small screens.  But, it may also get sidetracked and turn into a discussion on bees and beekeeping.  Tune in to find out!
