Hosted by Dr. Tim Mounce—best-selling author, Audible narrator, and Beast Games (by @MrBeast ) Season 1 contestant #718—alongside cohosts CJ and Smitty.

Featured in Patricia Cornwell’s New York Times Bestselling Novel Identity Unknown:
“Earth was plan B. It’s where the Martians escaped thousands of years ago when their own planet was about to be destroyed,” Marino replies as if it’s commonly known.
No doubt he learned this and more from All Things Unexplained, Ancient Aliens or one of his other favorite podcasts and TV shows. He and my sister both tune in religiously, and it makes for lively dinner conversations when all of us are together.
— Identity Unknown, p. 164
