| author and historian |
Richard Dolan steps out of his role as academic historian, and gets down to the challenging task of trying to untangle the frenetic weirdness that permeates the UFO abduction lore. This was a really fun and untethered back and forth conversation. We were all over the map at we attempted to dig into the stuff that too many want to ignore. We tried to examine the gulf between the Nuts and Bolts crowd and the Love and Lighters. Each divergent side of the UFO community is easily praised and ridiculed (and we do a little of both).

At the very end you get to hear the beautiful voice of Jose Ferrer reading from Slaughterhouse Five (1969) by Kurt Vonnegut. This book was a defining right of passage in the 70's. This is an 11 minute excerpt where Billy Pilgrim tries to understand time as explained by the Trafalmadorians. This was part of what Richard and I spoke about as we tried to wrestle with the complexities of time.
