About this listen
Is there other intelligent life in the universe, or are we all alone? Now you can explore this question through 17 compelling conversations with leading experts on extraterrestrial life.
The prospect of alien intelligences has long captivated cosmologists, perplexed theologians, and provided rich fodder for science fiction writers. While we may doubt that the large-eyed, green-skinned figures of sci-fi films will one day descend to Earth in UFOs, it is far harder to reject wholesale the possibility that intelligent life - in some form yet unknown - exists.
Alongside host Robert Lawrence Kuhn of Closer to Truth (PBS), you’ll discover that whether or not we’re alone is but one of a myriad of questions raised by the possibility of other intelligent life forms.
Kuhn’s guest experts - among them renowned astrophysicists, computer scientists, and philosophers - explore various facets of alien life through key inquiries such as the following:
- If the probability that other intelligent life exists is so high, why is there no evidence of it?
- What effect would discovering other forms of life have on our culture and belief systems?
- If we are indeed alone, does that mean we’re destined to colonize the universe?
Taking you on a mind-bending journey through theories and galaxies, this audio series illuminates the profound implications of finding out if we are the universe’s sole travelers.

Have you ever wondered what’s “new” about New Atheism? Coined in 2006, the term New Atheism has been used to describe the shared sentiments of prominent 21st-century atheists - perhaps most notably the “Four Horsemen” and talk-show host Bill Maher. In popular perception, the term has also garnered a negative connotation - implying hostility towards religion at large. Now, in this series of 14 one-on-one interviews, you have the rare opportunity to listen in on conversations with some of the leading actors in New Atheism.

It is 2020. When I was 10 years old, I thought that in 2020, there would be aliens and we could visit other galaxies and planets the same way we travel from France to China.
I liked the arguments, especially when Robert argues with the scientists, philosophers, and cosmologists who do not believe that there are no aliens.
I love to call it a comprehensive guide for people’s questions about alien life. Robert succeeded in gathering as many questions as possible and tried to look for answers. I do not want to spoil any part but after like 10 minutes, you will get what I want to say.
Thank you, Robert, for this great documentary!
