39 – Aliens Schmaliens (UFOs w/ Laura Thursby)

UFOs! Aliens! Strange things in the sky! This week we talk to serious expert, Laura Thursby, PhD, on the history and culture of extraterrestrial lore. She gives us the scoop on Roswell, Area 51, the UFO/cold war connection, abduction story tropes, and more! We hear some listener stories, and your pals Melody and Liz present some light Google research. And of course, our resident cinephile can’t help but give us a little tour of some cinematic aliens and space crafts through the ages. This episode is lengthy, but OMG there is SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT! Liz is at lizzography.com and Melody is at melodystarkweather.ca. We are on Patreon at patreon.com/teachmetigerpodcast. There is much much more bonus material from this episode over there, and you can access that and all bonus episodes for as little as $2 a month! MERCI MES PETITS TIGRES! <3 <3
