4. Higher Dimensions - How to Visualize Them?

Oye, Inyalowda! Welcome to the fourth episode of the Sip of the Iceberg podcast. I'm here with the mind-bending discussion about higher dimensions.

3. Consciousness - Am 'I' my Brain?

Salvete! Fellow Earthicans, welcome to the third episode of the Sip of the Iceberg podcast. I'm here with a philosophical discussion about consciousness. Are 'you' your brain? Does your brain control 'you' or 'you' control your brain? Or is it one and the same thing?

2. UFOs - Is it Aliens or Something Else?

Aloha! fellow Earthicans, welcome to the second episode of my podcast series. This episode is for all those obsessed with UFOs, those who just want to know what the fuss is all about, and those who went to storm Area 51. Let me know in the comments what you think about UFOs/UAPs. Do you think they are aliens or something else?

1. Aliens - Do They Really Exist?

Greetings, fellow Earthicans, this is the first episode of my podcast series. This podcast is for those interested in topics related to science, technology, history, philosophy, and the arts. This is not a deep dive podcast, rather a 'dip the toe' podcast for anyone who might not in any way relate to these topics in daily life, education, or job, but is still interested enough to learn and talk about. My goal here is to show people that there's something fascinating for everyone to ponder and get interested in, and perhaps get intrigued enough to delve deeper on your own.
