For several years, Conner has engaged the most prominent writers and scholars on Gnosticism and early Christianity.

Dick and The Matrix movies.
Todd is joined by local man Pj Jensen, who grew up in the area and has been tracking Bigfoot for several years. Jensen talks about what he has seen that leads him to believe Bigfoot is lurking in the area, and goes over his extensive research.

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.
