We welcome John Gertz to the podcast. John is the former President of the Foundation for Investing in Research on SETI Science and Technology and former Chairman of the Board of the SETI Institute. We discuss his new book, Reinventing SETI: New Directions in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. We discuss the outdated SETI paradigms such as Fermi's Paradox, the Drake Equation, and METI, as John argues that scientists should approach the pursuit of extraterrestrials in a more effective manner. We also discuss what happens when we finally make contact on a global level and so much more.

In this Omnibus, we bring you our collected interviews with historian and author, Richard Dolan. From the premiere episode of Somewhere in the Skies to about a month ago, these conversations took place over the span of eight years and over the course of 400 episodes. Join us as we continue to navigate the delicate conversation of UFOs throughout history and the secret keepers who may hold some of the keys to the UFO mystery and beyond.
