| 2019-Oct-18 • 36 minutes The Guardian and the Polluters Josh and M discuss the recent coverage by the venerable UK newspaper, The Guardian, on who are the world's biggest polluters, and why certain social media companies keep giving money to organisations that deny the scientific consensus about anthropogenic climate change.

In an episode which features an awful lot of M humming the theme tune to "Stargate SG-1", Josh and M discuss the real reason for the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the Stargate TV-series.

| 2019-Mar-08 • 44 minutes Psychic Nukes! This week Josh and M discuss a 1977 NSA memo detailing "PARAPSYCHOLOGICAL WEAPONS" from the "STARGATE" section. Startling enough, M doesn't talk at length about their love of Stargate SG-1, and the predicted talk of "Akira" ends up being very perfunctory. — Watch M’s series “Conspiracism” here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC... learn more about their academic work at: http://episto.org/ Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcast...... |

From an imagined conversation between Elizabeth II, Queen of Auckland, and Jerry Garcia, to LaRouche's final advice to Baby Boomers, this episode ranges from one kind of absurd claim to another, because that was the life of Lyndon LaRouche in a nutshell. -- Watch M’s series “Conspiracism” here: https://www.youtube.com/channe... |

| 2019-Feb-01 • 48 minutes The Smiley Face Killers This week Josh and M discuss the curious case of the Smiley Face Killers, a purported gang operating in the U.S. who predate on young men, leaving their drowned bodies near to distinctive graffiti. What do our conspirologists think of the claim there not only exists a criminal conspiracy, but also a cover-up of that conspiracy?

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... |

The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy turns 200 episodes old (well, 200 canonical episodes) and so Josh, M and intern Sam present you with an intriguing conspiracy theory about 'page societies' and update you on some very interesting news. This is also the final episode of the year: the team will be back mid January to reluctantly update you on the only conspiracy theory the world seems interested in: Trump!

| 2018-Dec-08 • 73 minutes A Cup of Joe This week, a slightly longer than usual episode: M interviews friend of the show (and target of QAnon), Joe Uscinski (Miami), the political scientist working on conspiracy theory theory. Due to the longer than usual shenanigans, the news update was moved entirely to the bonus content, available at low-low prices to potential patrons.

Prof.) Patrick Stokes, one of the contributor's to M's new book 'Taking Conspiracy Theories Seriously.' From a discussion to what counts as a conspiracy theory to who gets to claim the nationality of Russell Crowe, Pat and M have a wide-ranging discussion on conspiracy theory and conspiracy theories over the course of nearly fifty minutes.

| 2018-Nov-16 • 40 minutes Book Review - Ethical Human Rights In this week’s episode Josh and Dr. M review and discuss “Ethical Human Rights,” a book by New Zealand activist Anthony Ravlich. “Ethical Human Rights” suggests the existence of a UN conspiracy to destroy the self-determination of the West? Is it good? Is it awful? Let us be the judge(s). We also catch up on that alien autopsy film from 1995, talk a little about the latest Trump news, and discuss the ethics of bugging an consulate vs. murdering a journalist. — Watch M’s series “Conspiracism” here: https://w... |

| 2018-Nov-06 • 47 minutes The Dead Popes' Society In this episode Josh and M talk about the various conspiracy theories surrounding the death of Pope John Paul I, one of the Roman Catholic Church's shortest lived pontiffs. They also talk a lot about dog-whistle racism in recent U.S. politics, and reference both the works of Julian Sands and William Shatner. It's just a perfectly normal episode of The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy.
