Todd is joined this week by Ralph Blumenthal, author of the new book "The Believer: Alien Encounters, Hard Science and the Passion of John Mack."

"The Believer" is the weird and chilling true story of Dr. John Mack. This eminent Harvard psychiatrist and Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer risked his career to investigate the phenomenon of human encounters with aliens and to give credibility to the stupefying tales shared by people who were utterly convinced they had happened.

Todd is joined this week on My Side of the Universe by Joshua Louis of H.O.P.E. Paranormal, who has the ability to communicate with those who have moved on to the afterlife.

Joshua Louis, someone with a troubled past, struggled to understand the world around him and his purpose within it. Following a simple spiritual path, he would come to understand his purpose in a very profound way. In 2012, his intuitive nature drew him to seek the truth regarding paranormal events and the existence of an afterlife. What he got was way more than he bargained for. As his intuitive abilities developed, he discovered he was able to communicate with souls on the other side. With his newfound skills, he dedicated his time to helping stuck spirits crossover as well as grieving people looking for closure.
