In this episode Todd is joined by Alfonso Colasuono, author of "The Book of the Magical Mythical Unicorn".

"The unicorn is now a fixture in contemporary pop culture. People young and old are captivated by the magical legends and mythology of the unicorn. This book explores a diverse assortment of tales about the unicorn, ranging from its presence in the Garden of Eden, its foretelling of the births of Confucius and the Buddha, its protection of India from the wrath of Genghis Khan’s army, and its depiction within heraldry, including in the Scottish and British thrones. It features in-depth sections on the use of the unicorn’s horn for detecting poisons and healing, the horn’s connection to the opening of the third eye, and the unicorn’s depictions in ancient Sumeria, Egypt, and many other early civilizations."

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 this week by Allan Sturm, founder of the website structuresonthemoon.com. In part one of a two part show, Todd and Allan discuss the objects and structures that are located on the moon.
