Fermi's paradox podcast by Ira Glass and David Kestenbaum talks about the paradox that maybe there is life outside of earth and he talks about different aspects of the thought. In the prologue, David asks different type of people the question of whether or not they believe in the Fermi paradox and basically asking if they believe in extraterrestrial life. This brings up peoples thoughts about their own life, life after death, and just the curiosity of life itself. Fermi's paradox podcast is split into 4 parts: the prologue, and acts one through three. The episode itself, however, is played as only one episode, and the typing part of all acts and prologues is just life itself. Some questions I would ask my parents is if they believe in Fermi's paradox itself, and I don't think they would be happy to answer the question since I know they are 100% Catholic and only see things through what god would allow. I can understand why David, the narrator of the podcast, is scared of the fact that life outside of earth because it is something that is terrifying. It's 2017, and we haven't found a single life form outside of earth (besides microbiological life), and it's terrifying because how can we be the only ones out of the hundreds and thousands of galaxies here, how can we be the only ones and why would we be? My favorite question from Rosie is the last one used at the end of the podcast, where she asked what is love. Because you can explain what love is in many different ways, but you can't truly understand what it is unless you've felt it.
