Ever heard a conspiracy theory so wild you couldn’t help but ask - who’s pulling the strings, what would it take, and could anyone actually make it happen? Michelle has, and she’s bringing her sharp curiosity (and a guest) to find out. Each episode of The Conspiracy Consultants unpacks a different theory, testing its logic, logistics, and sheer audacity. It’s part thought experiment, part comedy, and all the fun of wondering “what if?” without needing a tinfoil hat.
