Hosted by Derek DeWitt · society · EN
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. We’ll also look at why we believe these theories, even when they’re outlandish. This is the podcast that dares to look behind the curtain that’s behind the curtain.
