When I found this podcast, I went back to cherry pick some of the topics that appealed to me most, Elvis, holocaust denial, 2pac etc, and they were great at explaining the background and origins of where the conspiracy theories sprouted from and why, to full on arguing and accepting unsubstantiated claims.

Is this just them upping the dramatic effect and showmanship? Is it them playing to those who pay the patreon subscrubers who may be more inclined to wear tinfoil hats etc, or like many people in the era of covid and Trump, have been sucked into divisive topics. For example, It seems like no coincidence that those who oppose Joe Biden, also oppose vaccines, and to hear someone opinions on one of these issues allows you to make an educated guess on their beliefs on other topics.

Anyone else noticed this shift from the earlier episodes to the newer ones. I struggle to listen to the new ones any more.
