Conspiracy Clearinghouse
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. This is the podcast that dares to look behind the curtain that’s behind the curtain. Episodes every other Wednesday.

Episode 02 | A Cavalcade of COVID-19 Crackpottery
The year 2020 has started off being defined by the global spread of the COVID-19 human coronavirus, but it's not just the illness that's spreading - misinformation, disinformation, misconceptions and outright lies are also on a worldwide tour aided and abetted by social media.
We'll take a look at some of the more pervasive ideas out there, tracing them back to their sources like good epidemiologists, and also think about ways we can inoculate ourselves and others against the noise.

Episode 01 | Glass Onion: The Beatles Conspiracies
The Beatles made more of an impact than perhaps any other band in history. Their highly engineered later albums, use of backmasking and decidedly quirky senses of humor seem to leave trails of breadcrumbs for people to follow into deeper, hidden truths about them.
You may have heard of the Paul is Dead theory. But what about the Paul is Alive one? Or that they plotted to blow up their former drummer Pete Best? Or that they never actually broke up? Or that they never really existed at all?
So pack your revolver and hop in your yellow submarine as we take a magical mystery tour past Abbey Road and travel through yesterday and today because we just can't let it be.

At 05:34, when discussing the "butcher cover", we meant to say that turning the replacement cover on its side seems to show Paul lying in a coffin, not the "butcher cover"
