John Todd: podcast appearances and interviews

John Wayne Todd, also known by various aliases including John Todd Collins, Lance Collins, Kris Sarayn Kollyns, and Christopher Kollyns, was an American speaker and conspiracy theorist. He was born on May 19, 1949, and died on November 10, 2007. Todd claimed to be a former occultist who was born into a witchcraft family before converting to Christianity. He was a primary source for many works by Chick Publications, which targeted Dungeons & Dragons, Catholicism, Neopaganism, and Christian rock. Todd made numerous claims regarding witches, Satanists, and the Illuminati, asserting that these groups were conspiring against Christians and involving government officials and leaders of Christian organizations. However, various investigative reports indicated that his statements about these conspiracies and his own past contained many inconsistencies. In 1988, Todd was convicted in South Carolina of rape and sentenced to 30 years in prison. He was released in 2004 and subsequently placed in a psychiatric facility, where he passed away three years later. His life was marked by his involvement in controversial claims and legal issues related to his criminal conviction.
