Podcaster's summary: A humorous and informative analysis of conspiracy theories new and old by Josh Addison and Associate Professor of Philosophy (and conspiracy theory theorist) M R. X. Dentith.
| Episodes |
| 2024-Apr-14 • 59 minutes Operation: Operations! Has there ever been a good Operation? Based on the various Operations and Projects we look at in this episode, any time you see something gets called an Operation, it's a work of pure malice that produces nothing but hardship and heartache. Even Operation Dumbo Drop. ESPECIALLY Operation Dumbo Drop. |
| 2024-Mar-28 • 73 minutes The Sherminator 3: Rise of Genisys Salvation Josh and M review the final part (part 3) of Michael Shermer's 2022 book, "Conspiracy: Why the Rational Believe the Irrational." It's nota lot of sound and fury, and it signifies... Well, you will have to listen and find out! |
| 2024-Mar-17 • 115 minutes Sherminator 2: Judgement Day In the sequel to last week's episode, we look at Part II of Michael Shermer's book "Conspiracy: Why the Rational Believe the Irrational". This part is all about determining which conspiracies are real - judging them, if you will. So the title works - it's not just a gratuitous pop culture reference! Not that there's anything wrong with a gratuitous pop culture reference. |
| 2024-Feb-29 • 90 minutes The Sherminator Josh and M review part 1 (of 3) of Michael Shermer's 2022 book, "Conspiracy: Why the Rational Believe the Irrational." |
| 2024-Feb-16 • 41 minutes To Catch a Spy! We're back and in the same physical location for ONE WEEK ONLY, so the only sensible thing to do is talk about a spy book from the 1980s. What was "Spycatcher"? What secrets did it contain? How did it manage to leave Margaret Thatcher "shattered"? Was that a typo and she meant "sharted"? Sorry, we didn't get enough juvenile humour into the episode and it has to go somewhere. |
| 2024-Jan-18 • 50 minutes We're Back and This Time it's Impersonal Josh and M return to the internet airwaves for a little catch-up on news during the podcast's hiatus, as well as some updates on the podcast's near future... |
| 2023-Dec-24 • 39 minutes Closing the Door on 2023 Josh and M end 2023 like they ended previous years: with a year in review! | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79... |
| 2023-Dec-16 • 61 minutes Increasing Over Time? (Conspiracy Theory Masterpiece Theatre) Fact, damn it, facts! Give us cold hard facts! Beautiful, comforting numbers to make sense of the world we live in! Wouldn't you know it, the surveys in Joe Uscinski's "Have beliefs in conspiracy theories increased over time?" give us exactly that - let's rifle through them and see what conspiracy theories are believed the most, and which (if any) have seen belief in them rise in recent times. | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Co... |
| 2023-Dec-09 • 52 minutes A Tesla Model 3 Josh and M re-revisit the suppressed technologies of Nicola Tesla. | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79... |
| 2023-Dec-03 • 12 minutes Filler Episode - Baba Vanga 2024 But enough grave dancing - here's a quick episode from Josh, as it turns out neither of us are in a state to be recording a full episode this week. Instead, let's see what Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga has in store for us in 2024, despite having died in 1996. |
| 2023-Nov-30 • 1 minutes Dancing on Kissinger's Grave Redux A more considered opinion... |
| 2023-Nov-30 • 3 minutes Dancing on Kissinger's Grave A momentary reflection and shaking of the booty over the death of infamous war criminal, Henry Kissinger. |
| 2023-Nov-25 • 56 minutes Back to the Well Friend! Do you have a conspiracy-themed podcast that needs a new episode but you just can't even right now? Why not go find out what Alex Jones and David Icke are saying on their respective websites and then comment on it? It's like the content is already created for you! Plus you get to talk about gay furry hackers. | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguideto... |
| 2023-Nov-19 • 53 minutes Stigmatised Knowledge (Conspiracy Theory Masterpiece Theatre) Josh and M review Michael Barkun's 2016 "Conspiracy Theories as Stigmatized Knowledge" as published in Diogenes. | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79... |
| 2023-Nov-10 • 46 minutes A Celtic NZ Again (Back to the Conspiracy) We're looking back at the history of attempts to rewrite the history of Aotearoa, in this case by making claims that Maori are not its indigenous people (and then making conspiracy theories to explain why this isn't widely accepted). Along the way we discuss local birdlife - without making reference to John Oliver - and use the phrase "pubic thatching". | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: http... |
| 2023-Nov-03 • 42 minutes There is a Light that Never Goes Out Josh and M talk cartels, lightbulbs, and lightbulb cartels! | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79... |
| 2023-Oct-27 • 40 minutes Who Dares Call it Conspiracy? (Conspiracy Theory Masterpiece Theatre) Time for some psychological experimentation, as we look at Michael J. Wood's Some Dare Call It Conspiracy: Labeling Something a Conspiracy Theory Does Not Reduce Belief in It. In addition, Josh eats his dinner over the course of the entire recording and refuses to edit out any of his slurping and chewing sounds - you could see this as an intense lack of professionalism, but we prefer to think of it as some extra ASMR, free of charge. We're so good to you. | | — | | You can contact us at: podcastconspiracy... |
| 2023-Oct-21 • 47 minutes The New Zealand General Election of 2023 After a brief hiatus, M and Josh join together once more, this time to talk about the New Zealand General Election of 2023. | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79... |
| 2023-Oct-06 • 27 minutes Filler Episode - The Pentagon Papers M is unwell, so Josh takes you through the story of the Pentagon Papers, the original "thing-starting-with-P Papers". As far as we know. | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79... |
| 2023-Sep-23 • 50 minutes M Knows It When They See It After last week's episode - which totally exists and was awesome, you guys - we dial things down a notch with a look a recent paper of M's, where they survey some works, outline some methodologies, tabulate some results - are we sure this is a philosophy paper? Apparently it is. | | We also talk about robot lifeguards, obviously. | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pod... |
| 2023-Sep-09 • 38 minutes Ebolagain! (Back to the Conspiracy) The rumoured outbreak of Ebola at this year's Burning Man is all the excuse M and Josh need to take a look at our old episodes about Ebola conspiracy theories, and infectious disease conspiracy theories in general. Who remembers Zika? | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfu... |
| 2023-Sep-02 • 63 minutes Conspirituality Emerges! (Conspiracy Theory Masterpiece Theatre) Josh and M look at "The Emergence of Conspirituality" by Charlotte Ward & Prof. David Voas, the prequel to a paper of Dean Ballinger's (RIP) that we looked at last year. | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79... |
| 2023-Aug-24 • 29 minutes Filler Episode - Toxic Oil Syndrome Since M is en route to China (did we mention that M is going back to China?), Josh supplies a story of mass food poisoning in Spain with conflicting explanations. Listen as he tries to pronounce the word "epidemiological" repeatedly while his children do the dishes in the noisiest way possible in the background! |
| 2023-Aug-17 • 44 minutes The F Kennedy Syndrome Josh and M discuss not one, not two, not three but four of the F. Kennedy clan. | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79... |
| 2023-Aug-13 • 25 minutes A Missing Bonus Episode - Walt Gumbly! Due to miscommunication the previous bonus episode we said would be free for all, never got released. Missing in the archives for over two weeks, we are proud to bring you this missing bonus episode of the Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy, completely unedited! |
| 2023-Aug-11 • 21 minutes Patron Bonus Episode - Kissinger in a sack It's another free patron bonus episode (largely because we realised there was some Patreon admin/fallout we failed to mention in the main episode)! |
| 2023-Aug-11 • 57 minutes Truth Trajectories (Conspiracy Theory Masterpiece Theatre) Having sucked the philosophical literature dry (for now), M gets some anthropology into the mix, by having Josh read through the 2011 paper "Conspiracy theories and their truth trajectories" by Mathijs Pelkmans and Rhys Machold. It's a gripping read - so much so that even Siri can't resist butting in at one point. Or is it because M is a wizard? They do dress like one - the signs were all there! | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the ... |
| 2023-Jul-31 • 97 minutes Patrick Brooks on the Origin of (Some) Conspiracy Theories M interviews Patrick Brooks, author of the forthcoming paper "On the origins of conspiracy theories" (Philosophical Studies: https://philpapers.org/rec/BROOTO-6). | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79... |
| 2023-Jul-24 • 47 minutes The Stopped Clock Effect (Back to the Conspiracy) Josh and M revisit episode 28 (and a few others) to (re)investigate cases where someone got it right about a conspiracy, only to then go on to have a career where they seem to always get it wrong... | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79... |
| 2023-Jul-13 • 61 minutes Will Mittendorf on Racist and Anti-Racist Conspiracy Theories M chats with Will Mittendorf about his paper at the 2nd International Conference of the Philosophy of Conspiracy Theories, which concerns racist and anti-racist conspiracy theories. | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79... |
| 2023-Jul-06 • 44 minutes The Mountain Meadows Massacre (What the Conspiracy?) Inspired by Steve Clarke's talk "When Conspiracy Theorists Win", M and Josh introduce an unsuspecting Georgia to the unpleasant tale of the Mountain Meadows Massacre - if she's lucky, she'll live to regret it. Alternate titles for this episode include "When Mormons Attack!", "Transmormons: Mormons in Disguise" and "That's Too Much Strychnine!" | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.p... |
| 2023-Jun-30 • 61 minutes Brian L. Keeley on Conspiracy Liars Josh and M discuss M's interview with Brian L. Keeley, where Brian discusses conspiracy liars (who probably think M and Brian.. and Josh are the real conspiracy liars). | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79... |
| 2023-Jun-24 • 47 minutes What M did on their "holiday"... M is back (actually back) and discusses what happened "on tour" in Italy and the Netherlands... | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79... |
| 2023-Jun-16 • 54 minutes An Interview with Julia and also Death M is back, for a given value of "back", so we have a full length episode this week, featuring both M and Josh - there's no denying it! M talks to Julia Deutz and Josh talks about DEATH. There's been a bit of it going around at the moment. | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/cro... |
| 2023-Jun-09 • 34 minutes Filler Episode - Robert Hanssen is Dead More filler, this time ripped from the week's headlines! Josh is talking about the life and recent death of Robert Hanssen, FBI mole, Opus Dei member, doer of dodgy sex stuff. This episode contains all you could want to know about what he did (sell secrets to the Russians), why he did it (they gave him money), how he got caught (the FBI gave someone else money) and everything in between (dodgy sex stuff). |
| 2023-Jun-08 • 13 minutes FistoEpisto - Not in Maastricht Malex updates you on the depraved world of conspiracy theory theory conferences… in Amsterdam! |
| 2023-Jun-02 • 28 minutes Filler Episode - Brenda Hean Another episode that's all filler, no killer - UNLESS IT ISN'T. Was the loss of Tasmanian environmentalist Brenda Hean a tragic accident, or was there something more sinister to it? Evidence of sabotage, suspect investigations, a guy called "Electric Eric" - this episode has something for everyone. Everyone? Sure, let's go with that. |
| 2023-May-30 • 13 minutes FistoEpisto - The Little Gargler Workshop Malex Drones solos himself, arse out, at the Little Gargler Workshop… |
| 2023-May-26 • 18 minutes Filler Episode - The Brabant Killers M's jetting overseas once again, so Josh fills in by scarring your souls with a thoroughly depressing tale of murder and more murder. How depressing? At one point, Josh says "of the four, all but three died" - that was a mistake, which should have been "all but one died". Yeah. |
| 2023-May-22 • 61 minutes I Think I'm Paranoid (Conspiracy Theory Masterpiece Theatre) Episode 404 - should we do an "error: podcast not found" gag? Probably not worth the effort - not when the actual episode is doing double duty as a Conspiracy Theatre Masterpiece Theater (sort of) and a Back to the Conspiracy (sort of). Yes, we're looking at Richard Hofstadter's essay "The Paranoid Style in American Politics" from 1965 - one of the works that kicked off the philosophical literature a few decades later. We start, as you'd imagine, with a sketch based on the 1995 horror film "The Mangler". | ... |
| 2023-May-11 • 56 minutes Coronation Quiche Josh and M "celebrate" the coronation by looking at some crownly conspiracies, whilst also revisiting an old favourite... | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79... |

| 2023-May-01 • 42 minutes The Gateway Experience Josh and M use their Factor 21 abilities to inquire into...

| 2023-Apr-22 • 52 minutes FistoEpisto Episode 400 - The Dogs of Pluto Malex and Joe discuss the news! |
| 2023-Apr-14 • 26 minutes The Zircon Affair Another M-less episode, as Josh entertains us with the tale of the Zircon Affair, a British controversy involving some very British names. Not to mention Space Shuttles, NASA, the NSA, the GCHQ, the BBC, the PAC and the threat of a D-notice or two. | | Also: watch Lifeforce (1985) - it's spectacular. |
| 2023-Apr-06 • 28 minutes A Wave of Mutilations M's not available this week, so Josh takes a look at an oldy but a goody - honest to goodness cattle mutilations. Once a staple of UFO lore, they haven't had much press lately until they unexpectedly did. What's really behind this phenomenon? Why cows? Is this just an pretext to say "anus and genitals" more often than we usually do in this podcast? These and other questions will go unanswered. |
| 2023-Apr-02 • 64 minutes JFK Again (Back to the Conspiracy) We're taking another look at the conspiracy theories around the assassination of JFK, just like it was 2014 all over again. Or possibly just like it was 1963 all over again. Time travel is involved, definitely. Also, squid penises for some reason. | | — | You can contact us at: [email protected] | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/cro... |
| 2023-Mar-24 • 53 minutes What's a Blik? (Conspiracy Theory Masterpiece Theatre) Josh and M review Glenn Y. Bezalel's "Conspiracy Theories and Religion: Reframing Conspiracy Theories as Bliks" which appeared in Episteme in 2019. | | — | You can contact us at: [email protected] | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79... |
| 2023-Mar-16 • 60 minutes The Thule Society M and Josh discuss the Thule Society, the Vril Societies, and...

| 2023-Mar-09 • 56 minutes The Race to the Space Moon! (Back to the Conspiracy) Josh and M revisit both episode 29 and 191, as they revisit the space race and the most important question of all time: does the Moon actually exist? | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79... |
| 2023-Mar-06 • 21 minutes News sans M Aha! The wheel has come full circle and the shoe is now on the other foot - Josh is recording a filler episode, as this week's recording schedule was disrupted by events outside our control. Without M to break the monotony of his own voice, Josh resorts to podcast recommendations and currents events in an attempt to keep things interesting. Such is life. |
| 2023-Feb-23 • 67 minutes Joining the Conspiracy (Conspiracy Theory Masterpiece Theatre) Josh and M review Lee Basham's "Joining the Conspiracy" (Argumenta, 2018). | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79... |
| 2023-Feb-19 • 53 minutes Rome isn't Real Josh and M look at the TikTok claim that Rome isn't real, and this thing turns out to go all the way back to either the Jesuits or the Benedictines (depending on who you trust)... | | — | | You can contact us at: [email protected] | | Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy... | | or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79... |

| 2022-Nov-25 • 49 minutes Gamergateagain It's Back to the Conspiracy time, as Josh and M travel back to 2014 to revisit #gamergate, then go on to look at everything that flowed from it.

| 2019-Jan-27 • 52 minutes This is not "The RFK Tapes" Over the Xmas and New year break Josh was entreated by M to listen to the podcast series The RFK Tapes (http://rfktapes.com). In this episode of The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy Josh and M talk not so much about the death of Robert Kennedy but more about the way in which the narrative of The RFK Tapes unfolds, looking at how a collaboration between someone who isn't sure what happened on that day back in 1968, and someone who is sure Sirhan Sirhan was a Manchurian Candidate, unfolds over the course o... |
