Mini: A Wild & Crazy Night in the Holy Roman Empire

In 1561, something (allegedly) lit up the skies above Nuremberg, Germany. All we have that refers to this event is a woodcut and writing by a man named Hans Glaser. So what happened on that fateful night? Aliens? Natural phenomena? The LORD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF??

The Walton Experience

No, we’re not doing an episode on some weird 70’s prog rock band, despite what the title sounds like. This story has way more aliens, cops, skeptics and a distinct lack of probing. We’ll be taking a dive into the alleged (prepare to hear that a lot) alien abduction of Travis Walton from the forests of Arizona back in 1975.

Mini: Experimenting with Extraterrestrialality

What do Jazz and alien encounters have in common? More than you'd think, to be honest. In our first Space Camp mini, we're examining the life of influential jazz musician, Sun Ra and how his time on Saturn changed a genre of music.

Animals in Space!

Welcome to Camp Afternoonified: Space Camp! Our first venture into deep recesses of the unknown is going to be a collection of stories about the brave animals who got shot into space before us. We definitely don't condone this, but know that every single fruit fly, gecko, dog, monkey and even jellyfish is a hero worthy of our respect.

Cryonics

It's all lab coats and frozen dead guys this week on Afternoonified as we explore the world of cryonics! We'll get into how nature has figured out it's own freezing and unfreezing processes and how humans have adapted that for their own purposes. There's also a handy guide on what to expect when you've mostly died and want to be put into cryonic suspension to be revived in a couple hundred years (probably)!
