Amazing Show! I hope the lab will re open! 💜

Escape Pods - a musical journey through the cosmos. 
Hosted by Ben Randm & Ralph Lawson 

Each episode a guest is offered an Escape Pod to leave our world behind. We ask them what music they’d put on their headphones as they; Blast Off, Experience Zero G, Flyby The Planets and make Final Contact before venturing on to discover Alien Worlds. We ask them to select a piece of music for our Escape Pods Platinum Disc and an experience of Planet Earth to take with them on their journey. 

Turn on, tune in, space out...

https://soundcloud.com/ralphlawson & Ben Randm are back with Escape Pods, this time venturing into the heart of rural Michigan for a chat with John Shepherd 

You may have come across John over lockdown if you saw the excellent short Netflix film, ‘John was trying to contact Aliens’. If you haven’t seen it we definitely recommend checking it out.

Long story short, and it is a long story indeed spanning over three decades, John learnt how to build powerful high voltage transmitters that could broadcast radio signals into space. He then set up a DJ studio and played music over the rig with the hope that someone out there was listening.

The name for the project was S.T.R.A.T, which stood for Special Telemetry Research and Tracking and the radio shows were broadcast from Earth Station One.

John Shepherd had become the world’s first cosmic DJ.
