A rather skeptical look at conspiracies and mysteries. Each episode will examine conspiracy theories, most of which are not true, a few of which might be a little bit true and even a couple that turned out, in fact, to be true. This is the podcast that dares to look behind the curtain that’s behind the curtain. Episodes every other Wednesday.

  • Great find

    I don’t believe in conspiracy theories but I love to listen to them, so this is the perfect podcast for me.

    Some people say Americans can’t do sarcasm as well as the Brits but this guy is superb at subtle sarcasm

  • Where Have You Been All My Life?!?

    This is just my kind of podcast. Intelligent but not presumptuous, funny but not silly, well-researched and thorough but not rambling. I am totally fascinated by the psychology of conspiracy theories, but a total non-believer. It’s hard to find content on this topic without falling into crazy rabbit holes. I love it! Keep up the good work.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Real Collusion
Q: What inspired your book's premise and what role does the character John Campbell play in illustrating these ideas?
John Campbell embodies an independent political movement that challenges the two-party dominance and shows how a non-traditional approach could reshape governance and public perception.
A Real Collusion
Q: What could change the situation—are third parties or a parliamentary-style system viable options?
The guest suggests independent or third-party movements, structural reform like campaign finance changes, and potentially coalition-style systems as doors to broader representation, though he cautions about practical hurdles.
A Real Collusion
Q: Is this just a natural evolution of politics, or is there something else going on behind the scenes?
The guest argues that the system is intentionally shaped to favor two major parties through fundraising machinery, debate rules, and media dynamics, and that this setup suppresses independents and third parties.
Mummy Mia: King Tut's Tomb
Q: What are the main theories around King Tut's death?
Theories range from murder, accidents, to recent suggestions of death by hippopotamus, with ongoing discussions about his health and burial practices.
What's in a Name? The Shakespeare Authorship Debate
Q: Did Shakespeare write Shakespeare?
Scott Jackson believes that Shakespeare wrote his works, backed by his extensive research, although he acknowledges there is reasonable doubt about Shakespeare's life.
