Welcome, fellow truth-seekers, to the wonderful world of conspiracy theory podcasts, where critical thinking often goes to die and rabbit holes are basically luxury condos you’ll never want to leave.
Whether you’re convinced that birds aren’t real (they’re obviously government drones), suspicious that your local Starbucks is actually a front for the Illuminati, or just looking for a good reason to avoid family dinner conversations, I’ve put together a list of podcasts that take relatively healthy view on various conspiracy theories.
So grab your tinfoil hat, disconnect your Alexa (she’s definitely listening), and prepare to explore the realm where correlation always equals causation, coincidences don’t exist, and somehow everything leads back to either aliens or the CIA, or alien CIA agents, because why not both?
