Todd is joined this week by author and researcher Gary David.

David  has been intrigued by the American Southwest since his initial trip there in 1987. The following year he lived for about six months in northern New Mexico, where he studied archaeological ruins and rock art. In 1994 he moved to Arizona and began an intensive study of the ancestral Pueblo People (sometimes incorrectly referred to as the Anasazi) and their descendants the Hopi.

In 2006 after more than a decade of fieldwork and scholarly inquiry, his nonfiction book The Orion Zone: Ancient Star Cites of the American Southwest was published.

Ogden Hypnotist Kerry Sharp joined Todd on this week's edition of My Side of the Universe to talk about the power of the mind, hypnosis helping trauma and more.

For 14 years, Hypnotist Kerry Sharp has seen a new show every time he takes the stage. What keeps his work fresh and exciting is the nearly infinite power of the mind, and what can happen when the mind is open to suggestion.

Todd is joined on the show by Teresa Wagner, animal communicator. Wagner's animal communication work is with animals both here and in the afterlife and she communicates with all animal species. She also offers classes in animal communication and grief support, facilitated sacred journeys to swim with and communicate with humpback whales, and has created a number of products to help people communicate with animals and heal their grief.
