<p>[QUOTE="David Atherton, post: 4333287, member: 82616"]<i>In Reseach Of</i> is a podcast I'm very fond. The two hosts (archaeologist Jeb Card and podcaster Blake Smith) rewatch the old Leonard Nimoy TV show <i>In Search of ... </i>and offer sceptically alternative explanations.</p><p><br /></p><p>The pilot episode looks at many of the themes that have been touched on in this long thread. Below is a link to the episode along with a brief write-up of what to expect. So ... since many of us are not going anywhere this weekend, pour yourself a beverage and sit back for an entertaining and sceptical look at the Ancient Aliens topic. If you wish to skip the preliminaries and intro, the episode proper starts at the 021:42 mark. Enjoy!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/in-research-of/e/64940730?autoplay=true" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/in-research-of/e/64940730?autoplay=true" rel="nofollow">https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/in-research-of/e/64940730?autoplay=true</a></p><p><br /></p><p>"This is the pilot episode of <i><b>In Research Of</b></i>, the show where we watch the original TV show <i>IN SEARCH OF…</i> and consider some of the explanations that the producers chose not to present.</p><p><br /></p><p>In our inaugural episode, we watch the TV Special <i>In Search of Ancient Astronauts</i>, a repackaged cut of a <a href="https://amzn.to/2o8Qv7w" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://amzn.to/2o8Qv7w" rel="nofollow"><u>German documentary</u></a> about Eric Von Daniken's book <a href="https://amzn.to/2oaMbEP" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://amzn.to/2oaMbEP" rel="nofollow"><u><i>Chariots of the Gods</i></u></a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>We want to thank Rachel and Chris Lackey for the theme music (And Greig Johnson!).
