Should the left care about the existence of aliens? The ACFM gang explore the impact of UFOs on political thought in this Trip.
Keir, Jem and Nadia discuss the connections between UFO conspiracies and right-wing thought, why some communists think aliens will bring about world revolution, and whether Fermi’s paradox means we’re not alone, with music from Sun Ra, The Carpenters and true believers Blink 182.
