Todd is joined on the show by Ryan Hurd, who has a MA in Consciousness Studies and a Certificate of Dream Studies.
Hurd has spent the better part of a decade excavating ruins in North America before turning inward to the riches of the mind, which are infinitely more valuable than any buried treasure. His background has taught him that both views, objective science and self-inquiry, are critical for a more holistic view of Western knowledge to emerge.
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 this week's show by a tour guide from Rapa Nuia, the famous Easter Island. Easter Island is a Chilean island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, at the southeasternmost point of the Polynesian Triangle in Oceania. Easter Island is most famous for its nearly 1,000 extant monumental statues, called moai, created by the early Rapa Nui people. In 1995, UNESCO named Easter Island a World Heritage Site, with much of the island protected within Rapa Nui National Park.
Todd is once again joined this week on the show by Don Anderson, creator of the site http://pathoftheshaballa.blogspot.com/.
During his time on the show this go-around, Anderson discussed his experience of being abducting by man-sized insects and his experience on their UFO.
