Hi, I’m Ari Halbkram. For more than three decades, I’ve been a son, a grandson, a nephew and a friend. I’ve been a writer, a journalist, a podcaster, a filmmaker, a tour manager and an employee of the month once at RadioShack. Like the main character in one of David Bowie’s most iconic songs, I’ve often looked at the world around me - the confounding behaviors of others, and the beauty in the mundane and everyday - and found it all so complicated at times that I’m forced to throw my hands up and wonder...is there life on Mars?

This series examines life, culture, society, politics and some of our biggest unanswerable questions in short, easily consumable episodes.
