- Conspiracy Bros
I was excited this was gonna be some sort of exposé, a well researched thought piece like podcast. Nope, it’s just another conspiracy bro group gathering in someone’s basement vibing out.

United States24 days ago - Very Curious - Limit Bill
I want to believe and a huge fan of Jason.
What was the conspiracy in the first episode?! Mmmm we need more real conspiracy deep dive vs Bill offering his notes every 15 minutes or weird news stories
still very optimistic
Apple Podcasts3LycanNationUnited States24 days ago - It’s alright
The first episode is kinda okay but we will see about the next ones
Apple Podcasts3higjhiUnited States24 days ago - Awesome Show
Like many listeners, I was excited to see Jason back on The Ringer. But I was just as excited to get more Tyler Parker. Combining both of these forces with inaugural guest, Conspiracy Bill was a real treat. And the nature of what they cover speaks directly to that “yeah, what’s up with that?” part of your brain in the least tin foil hat way possible. Bravo! More please!
Apple Podcasts5UniversalCynicUnited States25 days ago - Bring back Unexplained Mysteries and do the new show as its own page!
It’s not bad enough you got rid of Unexplained Mysteries as a podcast in 2023, but now you’re so lazy you reused THEIR page, deleted all of their hard work from literal years off the internet entirely? Boycott this podcast.
