In this episode we are joined by actress Megan Davis and we dive into spirituality. Some of what we explore: What does religion mean in a changing landscape? What is the relationship between altered states and mystical experience? What is the best working model of reincarnation? Can science decode the existence of God? How might humanity transcend this realm?

Welcome to our first podcast! In this episode hosts Susana and Matt dive into Area 51 and all that it entails. We discuss the upcoming raid, our experiences with UFOs, and the granddaddy of Area 51 conspiracies himself: Bob Lazar.

Some brief apologies: for the audio, it will be significantly improved in the future; for the abrupt ending, but we promise you didn't miss too much; and for the general mess of our first attempt. Thanks so much for watching!
