Listen Now to Dr. Bruce Damer It’s been a few months since we’ve caught up with ‘Dr. Bruce’ and his globe-trotting adventures exploring the origins of life and consciousness.  An indy scientist, Bruce explores what most interests him in the world, which lately has been revolving around the origins of life on earth and a theory that biological life emerged from hot springs on the land, not volcanic vents under the sea.  Dr. Bruce DamerAnd then there is the thorny question of how humanity got the way it is, with seemingly higher intelligence than the trillion other species on this planet, and an amazing ability to not simply create amazing works, but to also muck things up royally. Dr. Bruce spent some time last month at a major conference on research in consciousness and met with many fellow researchers, including Deepak Chopra, who interviewed Bruce for his daily podcast.   Last month Dr.  Bruce returned from Pakistan and shares with us their changing perception of America and the rise of China and the new digital ‘silk road’ in the Middle East.  A good, albeit brief interview.  Enjoy!

Listen Now to Future News 4.17.2018 Sadly, pioneering talk radio host Art Bell went to ‘the other side’ last Friday the 13th of April, leaving behind a legacy of exploring edgey topics late into the night.  Our show was originally started with the premise that we would cover Art’s (and later George Noory) type of topics, but in the daytime, under the bright light and scrutiny of an awake audiene. However for us, it’s not so much things that go bump in the night, but events that propel our civilization forward to a better now.  In honor of Art, consider our story this week on “The Silurian Hypothesis,” as scientists investigate the possibility of an advanced reptilian race that lived far in our past.. Enjoy!
