February 22, 2022 24. Weather Is Just Aliens, Actually (w/ Kevin from PixelLit)
Tristan is away so Scott will play... with rocks! Why do people see strange lights in the sky right before an earthquake? Is there a secret city of aliens hidden in the depths of a volcano? What's the deal with plateaus, like in general? And most importantly, do aliens control the weather as a way of manipulating the human species? Let's dive into some 4th-grade earth science to find out!

January 25, 2022 20. How To Create Alien Life (feat. Lena Vincent)
Today, Tristan is joined by astrobiologist Lena Vincent to talk about the search for alien life, how we could make some fresh new life of our own, and what "life" even is. Scott is not in this episode because he got distracted making dinner and completely missed out on this rad conversation. Seriously, I wish it was a better excuse. ADHD, man. What can you do?

January 18, 2022 19. How Ancient Aliens Ghoulishly Exploited The Zuni People For Views
Did the Zuni people make first contact with alien life forms? Are they still in contact with them? Is this all just a really sad story of exploitation? The answer to at least one of those questions is yes, unfortunately. This one gets us all kinds of steamed up.

January 11, 2022 18. The Dogon People Are Sirius Business
How did the Dogon people know about a small companion star to Sirius A that you can’t see with the naked eye… without access to advanced equipment? Did aliens swoop down and tell these folks about the universe? Or was it a roaming band of French nerds?

January 04, 2022 17. King Akhenaten: Was Egypt Ruled By A Half-Alien Half-Human Pharaoh?
King Akhenaten has an absolutely buck wild history! Any art depicting him looks drastically different than other Pharaohs, with a bulbous head, spindly arms, and overall alien-esque appearance. And after he died, any mention of him was scratched out of Egyptian history almost like ancient Egyptians were trying to cover something up...
SPOILERS: They were. But it's not what you think.
