46 minutes

EPISODE 148 | The Visitors: 3I/ATLAS & Friends

Something is happening right now that maybe we should all pay at least a little bit of attention to.

It’s time to break out the nice dishes and give the place a good dusting, because we have company folks. We have a visitor.

Probably a comet. But maybe not, according to some. Maybe it's an alien spaceship with bad intent. And it’s coming to get us.

And seriously, subscribe, will ya? Like, just do it.
