Episode 90 of MARS MESSINA PRESENTS updates its audience on this week's events concerning the Moscow, ID murder case of 4 University of Idaho students. Because the news surrounding the Probable Cause Affidavit (PCA) is so ubiquitous in the news right now, I will not rehash the details, as you are probably aware of them. Instead, I am presenting a timeline built from the PCA, other court documents, and other witnesses that make a rather damning case in front of a jury. Unless something out of the

In Episode 86 of MARS MESSINA PRESENTS, we learn that researchers have set the Doomsday Clock at 100 seconds to midnight in 2022 - the closest we have ever been to nuclear war. This is saying a lot, because October 27, 1962, is considered the most dangerous day humanity, as a whole, has ever experienced. We are going to talk about the Cuban Missile Crisis, a moment in time when the entire planet faced nuclear annihilation. Apparently, researchers and historians believe that today, with another

At a time when humanity in all of Europe seemed to hit on all cylinders, Florence was the crowning jewel of this enlightened time, and engendered unparalleled genius. We will talk about the meaning of genius in terms of the Renaissance, and focus on - perhaps - the premiere genius of that place and time, Leonardo da Vinci. We will also discover that it is possible for each and every one of us to

Episode 83 of MARS MESSINA PRESENTS speaks about the recent 11/13/22 murders of 4 University of Idaho students while they slept in their residence near campus in Moscow, Idaho.

We'll try to parse the case and set up a factual timeline. To date, the crime remains unsolved. BEDTIME STORIES FROM THE ACOUSTIC BOOKSHELF

Neighbors walking in and around the Highgate Cemetary claimed to have witnessed a tall, dark spectral being who disappeared into thin air, hypnotized people, crawled out of graves, and killed animals. Dubbed "The Highgate Vampire" by the press and two prominent occultists, the spectre created a sensation around London, resulting in a riot at the cemetary: self-proclaimed "vampire hunters"

We further investigate why the United States of America (the self-proclaimed city on the hill and the shining light in the darkness and the free nation) continually chooses war even after a long and sobering history that teaches that war is nothing but hell - along with our genius advances in science, medicine, agriculture, and creating a proper society.
