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 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 on the show by Ron Johnson, a local man who shares his personal experiences and interactions with aliens. Johnson also shares stories of being abducted by aliens and what their motive may be.
