In this month's episode, we're going to be listening to Part 2 of an interview with a timeline where in 1972, humanity received a message from an alien civilization around Barnard's Star, 6 lightyears away. How did society continue to react to finding out that we're not alone in the universe? How did further revelations & communication with this alien species change world events & politics in the 21st century? Does this alien civilization pose a threat to us? Also, who are the Hips? Find out the answers to these questions in our longest episode yet, beating out last month's episode.
