In this hour, Jonathan Lethem talks to Steve Paulson about The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick.

Dick wrote the "Exegesis" in an effort to come to terms with these experiences.
Then, Jeffrey J. Kripal is a professor of philosophy and religious thought at Rice University. He talks to Steve Paulson about his book, Mutants and Mystics: Science Fiction, Superhero Comics, and the Paranormal.
Next, Comic-book creator Gary Spencer Millidge talks to Anne Strainchamps about his book, Alan Moore: Storyteller. The book proiles one of the most influential creative forces in the history of comic books. Moore is responsible for groundbreaking series like Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
And finally, Investigative journalist Leslie Kean talks to Jim Fleming about her book, UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record.
