Host Paul Carr in conversation with Dr. Kevin Knuth, author of a recent article in The Conversation entitled "Are we alone? The question is worthy of serious scientific study." 

The conversation centers around strategies for lifting "the veil of ridicule" that surrounds UFO studies, and Kevin's own experience, and how he came to take the topic seriously himself.
