So before that UFO podcast, throughout those years, were you just always on the side researching? Was it a hobby?

Yeah, so I'm a podcast producer by trade, but I loved physics when I was younger, mainly just for the rare lessons on planets and the cosmos. At university, I studied philosophy. So I've always kind of been interested in philosophical discussions about science and nature and what is possible. But when it comes to UFOs, they haven't really got on my radar, mainly because I haven't allowed them.

I've got one of those really obsessive brains. And I know the second I get into the rabbit hole, I won't ever be able to get out. So I'm like, oh, do I have enough time to deep dive into this? Because it will just take up every waking moment of my life.

Yeah, I feel like that's going to be happening for me in real time throughout the series. Well, that's the hope, at least, that kind of those who are new to the topic like me can learn along with me and make up their own minds as I make up my own mind and you continue to make up yours. So, yeah, with any luck, that's what the series will do.
