Todd is joined this week on the show by Bobcat and Kitty, owners of The Eastern Utah Tourism and History Association, the sponsor of My Side of the Universe.

Bobcat and Kitty join the show to talk about their latest book: "Images of America Price".

Founded by Mormons and settled by immigrants, Price, Utah, is a city of contradictions. Settled in the late 1870s, it was not until the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad discovered coal in the surrounding mountains that the town bloomed. Nearly overnight, trainloads of coal and other merchandise made Price into the commercial center of eastern Utah. As one of the safe havens for Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch, it was their outlaw gold that funded the city's continued growth. With one of the most outspoken mayors the city ever had, Price fought the State of Utah for the right to maintain its saloons, gambling halls, and bawdy houses.

Todd is joined this week on the show by Dr. Terry Hunt, the University of Oregon as Dean of the Clark Honors College and professor of anthropology, to discuss Easter Island.

Dr. Hunt’s recent book, "The Statues that Walked: Unraveling the mystery of Easter Island", co-authored with Carl Lipo, revisits the dramatic story of Rapa Nui’s prehistory.  The book won the Society for American Archaeology’s book of the year award, 2011, in the public audience category. Dr. Hunt’s research was the focus of a National Geographic Magazine cover story (July, 2012) and a full-length Nova-National Geographic TV documentary that aired on PBS in November 2012.

Todd is joined by author and near death expert PMH Atwater. Atwater is one of the original researchers in the field of near-death studies, having begun her work in 1978 (shortly after moving to Virginia), and is a pioneer in subjects like near-death experiences, the after effects of spiritual experiences, transformations of consciousness, reality shifts, future memory, and modern generations of children and how they differ from previous generations
