    Joe, Jennifer & Ian 2

    This week on Earthship Radio, Joe gets the RV back up and running so the he, Jennifer and Ian can talk about unsolved mysteries and alien sightings in renaissance paintings. *Cue X-Files theme song* Jennifer breaks out the story of the Taman Shud case, also known as the Mystery of the Somerton Man. Happening in Adelaide Australia in 1948, the Somerton Man was found laying against the seawall with some confusing items on his person, without any sort of identification, a spleen three times it’s normal size and a scrap of paper containing the words "Taman Shud." Over the next few months many other mysterious leads pop up, including a suitcase full of clothes with their tags removed, some orange thread only found in America, the sudden appearance of the copy of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam from which the previous scrap had been torn, an unbreakable code handwritten inside said book, a woman who was visibly distressed upon seeing the man even though she denied any knowledge of who he was, and theories that this man was a soviet spy. Quite an interesting unsolved mystery. Then Jennifer tells the tale of the "Wow!” signal, a mysterious transmission picked up in 1977 by SETI and never heard from again. Was it aliens? Who knows, but this leads to curiosities of how long we’ve been intercepting and seeing contact from Extra Terrestrials. They wrap up their time in the RV with a brief story about bot flied making their home inside a human man’s testicles. All this and more on episode 13 of Earthship Radio.

    Ian & Vivienne

    This week in the RV, Ian brings his mum Vivienne on board and learns about the things that make her tick. Coincidentally, she’s working on her own memoirs so these topics were fresh in her mind. She talks about the things that made her into the very structured style of go-with-the-flow that she seems to have become now, which began at an early age. Because her parents worked in the foreign office abroad in Lebanon, and subsequently sent her away to boarding school as a 12 year old girl, Vivienne was responsible for her own happiness at an age when it was a big expectation of a person. But she learned how to actually be able to rely on herself, which is a trait she carried on and passed along. Then we hear about her legendary days doing her own thing, like racing a 2000 Horsepower 32ft. Phantom Powerboat (and flipping it), working in restaurants rather than join her parents in the foreign office, and meeting “Just another American” while working at a rental car company, who ended up being Ian’s dad! After briefly touching on homeschooling, Vivienne pontificates about how she’s been able to balance the need for structure in a lot of aspects of life, with the inevitable need to just go-with-the-flow. Rebelling against the social norm in very healthy ways, because everything happens for a reason. And ultimately, her secret to a successful life and family was to dedicate her life to her family, like it was her job, and to do what worked best for them, and ultimately her. Because that's what she was good at! And boy was she! Enjoy this very special Mother’s Day episode of Earthship Radio.
