S4E6 - Did aliens visit Zimbabwe to tell children the world was ending with David Kau
In this episode, we dive into the captivating world of alien encounters through the unique lens of South African culture, guided by the insightful and entertaining comedian David Kau. A celebrated stand-up comic and filmmaker, David shares his experiences growing up in South Africa, exploring the nuanced distinctions between being "colored" and "mixed," and how these identities shape cultural narratives around extraterrestrial phenomena.

The episode is rich with personal anecdotes, from childhood musings about aliens to the impact of cultural beliefs on the plausibility of such encounters. Join us as we also speculate on the messages aliens might have for future leaders, the role of influential South Africans like Elon Musk, and delve into broader socio-political contexts, all while enjoying the humor and wit that David brings to the table.Apologize for the not so great sound quality.

S3E8 Walt Disney Vs. Frozen with Sierra Katow
Ready for a brain freeze? We're piling on a Disney-sized serving of conspiracy theories that might change your view of the animated film 'Frozen'.
