The Nerdologues

During a hunting mission, Elliot gets injured. Jo and co have to figure out how to get them medical supplies from a town that isn't over run by the Mors Tua Men but by something else. 

One of Yazmin's earliest memories is her family watching one of their favorite movies: Killer Clowns from Outer Space. From Michael Myers to the Redfields of Resident Evil, her family came together to experience horror, for better or worse (too many zombies have been known to keep kids from sleeping well). She even enjoyed when they would gather around to scare one another with stories of their own crafting and has witnessed a few paranormal events that she's never been able to shake or explain.

Back to Southern Illinois for the second part of an incredible show corralled by the one & only Ben Rathert. 

The history of Moorish tiles are laid out by Spencer and Mike as they explore the influence for the mosaic building game, Azul.

Alyssa was born a rebel, as evidenced by her refusal to accept an "Indian" name in place of her own as a kindergartener on Columbus Day. This small rebellion opened the door to an interest in eking out the truth about colonialism, imperialism, and revolutions throughout her schooling. In college, she declared a Middle-Eastern Studies and Political Theory double major to feed her thirst for knowledge on how the history of colonialism influences the sociology of current cultures. 

We took the show down to Ava, IL for a very special evening produced and hosted by the one and only Benjamin Rathert!

Mike and Spencer channel the spirits to explain what a medium is and share some 'real life' crime solving psychic stories. (*insert spooky music here*)

Jo can't sleep and her talking to herself wakes Jee-Hyun up. 

Gary Pascal grew up in a home operated like an engineering firm thanks to his ME father. This nature and nurture led to all four of the family's kids also becoming mechanical engineers. After choosing BEST Robotics to fulfill a graduation requirement for his STEM high school, Gary was well on his way to serving as an engineer for Mars Chocolate right out of college.

This week we're spotlighting the first Your Stories appearance of Mr. Benjamin Rathert, who's hosting our show on the road this week in Du Quoin, IL!
