Welcome to another episode of "The Border Realm Podcast." Join hosts Mike Costantini, Emily Maya Mills and Jeff Sloniker as they discuss the Mayan calendar end date of December 21, 2012 and what it may possibly mean for humanity. Is this doomsday, or perhaps the beginning of a new era of enlightenment, or possibly nothing at all? We are less than a month away from the end of the Mayan calendar and the subject of many theories that have lots of people wondering the outcome. This is part one of the discussion as we count down to the Mayan calendar end date. At the top of the episode Mike, Emily and Jeff talk about the recent news in the Syria unrest, the SARS-like virus surfacing in Saudi Arabia and the latest, mysterious findings of the Curiosity rover on Mars. Take a ride into the border realm of what we know, and what we don't know.
