This Podcast Doesn't Exist

Our very first guest, Liam, (little brother!) joins us as Emma tells Shannon the story of the 1961 abduction of Betty and Barney Hill. The Hills were a New Hampshire couple who truly believed that aliens had taken and returned them; there's even a historical marker in the spot! We all figure out that IKEA is the modern alien's abduction site and that if we get tattoos, Betty's star map may just be the inspiration.
