{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"From the Archives with Rick Osmon","description":"On this episode of Expanded Perspectives: From the Archives, we revisit our conversation with author, researcher, and hidden history investigator Rick Osmon.\n\nCould Roman explorers have reached North America centuries before Christopher Columbus? Rick joins us to examine the evidence, challenge conventional history, and share the research that has led him to believe there may be far more to America's ancient past than most people realize.\n\nBefore becoming a full-time researcher and author, Rick built an impressive career in engineering, working with defense contractors and later as a civilian engineering specialist for the U.S. Navy. His work focused on advanced radar, night vision, laser systems, and surveillance technologies supporting Special Operations equipment acquisitions.\n\nDriven by a lifelong fascination with archaeology, ancient history, geography, cartography, and the unexplained, Rick left government service in 2005 to dedicate himself to researching hidden history. He went on to host popular internet radio shows, including The Oopa Loopa Cafe and Unraveling the Secrets, which became part of the Paranormal Soup Network before evolving into the Soup Media Network.\n\nRick is also the author of several books exploring ancient mysteries, beginning with The Graves of the Golden Bear: Ancient Monuments and Fortresses of the Ohio Valley, published in 2011.\n\nJoin us as we explore the possibility of Roman voyages to the Americas, the artifacts and historical clues Rick believes point to a forgotten chapter of history, and what it all could mean if the accepted timeline is incomplete.\n\nShow Notes:\n\nGlimmer Man Book: Cloaked Beings That Move Among Us\n (https://www.amazon.com/Glimmer-Man-Cloaked-Beings-Among/dp/B0GP6YGPND/ref=sr_1_1?crid=ATTJJVDU4VEC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.xlF0abjWUlmw3-m5ZJB7CCdxUY5h6o0WPbTsLwDpQgMSyudSfa92UAAP3MqbDMXoSYAtQKIxXnX7Vr6NrIQsWx0xDGY-z-NS6NCPtZIbSuI.0xG9beyMlzlFguj8sHm2iV01ynn3_6tE3jbcFcgkA3Y&dib_tag=se&keywords=Glimmer+man+book&qid=1773009609&sprefix=glimmer+man+book%2Caps%2C155&sr=8-1)\nWant to Share Your Story?\n\nEmail: expandedperspectives@yahoo.com\nHotline: 888-393-2783\n\nWant More Expanded Perspectives?\n\nIf you want more Expanded Perspectives and help out the show, then join our Patreon.
