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.

These interviews with 13 leading scholars represent one of the best ways to get to know ancient Gnosticism, the movement that has inspired Dan Brown, Philip Pullman, Philip K. Dick and The Matrix movies.

Local paranormal hunter Ron Johnson returns to My Side of The Universe to join Todd for multiple discussions. During this episode, Johnson speaks on his findings while investigating local haunted places. Johnson also discusses astral projections and support groups for those who have had alien encounters.
