EPISODE 81 | The Logos Prophecy
Guest: Martin Treanor, author of The Logos Prophecy (Fall of Ancients 1)
What if all the conspiracy theories were true? That's what writer Martin Treanor used as the starting point for an ambitious trilogy of novels that starts in the present day (with a conspiracy theorist and a science guy), then travels back 13,000 years, and finishes thousands of years in the future.
We talk about this project, as well as some of Treanor's other work, his ideas on the conspiracy mindset, the New World Order, his pal Sal, tea and more.

Come On Vaccine! Vaccine Hesitancy & You

EPISODE 26 | Come On Vaccine! Vaccine Hesitancy & You
Science marches on, eradicating debilitating diseases (among other things). However, there have always been some who are skeptical, or even downright hostile, to this. There are lots of reasons: maybe God wants your kid to get sick, the ingredients used are harmful and/or weird, or they have terrible side effects, like giving children autism; turning them into half-man, half-cow hybrids or making making males become homosexuals. Or maybe there are teeny, tiny mind control devices in them.
Or maybe all of these things are true. When you decide that science doesn't matter, and there's no such things as a fact, it's sort of a free for all of superstition and suspicion.
