Manage episode 424795289 series 1093146
The Nose is off this week. In its place, a look at how we imagine extraterrestrial life.

This hour: how we imagine extraterrestrial life and how those visions are shaped by our TV and movies and more.
GUESTS:
- Jaime Green: Freelance writer, editor, writing teacher, and the author of The Possibility of Life: Science, Imagination, and Our Quest for Kinship in the Cosmos
- Doug Jones: Actor known for his roles in Hellboy, The Shape of Water, Pan’s Labyrinth, and more; he plays Saru in Star Trek: Discovery
