Are We Alone in the Universe?

On this podcach, we like to think about all the craziest ideas. We'd like to cast off the shackles of our preconceptions and imagine what life might be like there in the universe. Are we alone in the universe? Is earth the only place that hosts life in this entire glittering cosmos? Or is it teeming with life, absolutely festooned and infiltrated with microbes and animals and crazy stuff out there? I for one, am hoping that the universe is filled with all sorts of creative stuff because i love the surprise that science offers.
