    #45 - The Botched Kidnapping of John Grundhofer

    November 19, 1990. Downtown Minneapolis, MN. John "Jack" Grundhofer, a powerful banking executive, professional cost-cutter, and pillar of the community, drives into work in his brand new Mercedes Benz much like any other day. What he doesn’t know is that lurking in the shadows of the underground parking garage is a man with a gun, an ill-thought-out plan, and a step-by-step list of handwritten kidnapping instructions. What follows is one of the most bizarre, incompetently executed kidnapping attempts in modern American history, complete with imaginary activist groups, questionable ransom demands, a makeshift bomb, and a criminal mastermind who had no idea what he was doing. Was this the work of a disgruntled former employee? A desperate amateur criminal? Or something even stranger? Join Kyle and Nate as they attempt to get to the bottom of the legendary kidnapping of John Grundhofer, a story about hubris, the importance of planning, and how the ruthless pursuit of comically huge sums of money can only lead to one's own downfall.

    #44 - Planet Mars, Microbial Life, and You

    Planet Mars. Throughout much of human history, it was thought to be just some weird orange star that moves... or something. But as it turns out, Earth and Mars share more in common than humanity ever suspected; including conditions favorable to life during different, yet overlapping periods of time. So where did life actually begin? Can life on Earth trace its ancestry back to the Red Planet? Or could any life we might someday find on Mars trace its origins to ancient microbial life from Earth? Join Ivan and Nate as they board a spaceship to Mars, a planet that might not have always been the frozen, dead ball of rust we see today, as they seek to answer the question: Could YOU be a Martian and not even know it? Tune in to find out.
