Sometimes music can be used for introspection. "Theme Attic," the radio show that picks themes and plays music from a variety of genres about selected subjects, will take a quick look at songs about heaven before moving onto the anniversary of the sinking of The Titanic and Opening Day in baseball.

Today's interview is with Preston Dennett, who was a UFO skeptic until he found out that many trusted friends and family members had their own close encounter experiences. In 1986 he began researching the phenomenon and has become a world-class expert on UFOs and the paranormal. Mr. Dennett is an investigator for MUFON and the author of more than 100 articles and fifteen books, to include “The Coronado Island UFO Incident." Join our host David Twichell for the discussion of this truly remarkable case and others that Mr. Dennett has researched.

We're not "foolin' around" today--by presenting a very serious discussion from Philosophy Talk, "Abortion," and from Stephen Dubner (Freakonomics) a challenging insight, "When a Negative is a Positive."
