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.

Catholic Conspiracies

In this episode resident (lapsed) Catholic M and (dubiously) recently baptised Catholic Josh discuss a few Catholic conspiracy theories, the Know Nothings, and fake popes. They also catch us up on the death of Jamal Khashoggi, those suspicious packages in the US, and the never-ending saga that is the disappearance of MH370.

What do Pacman, billiard balls and transwarping all have in common? They are associated with the Flat Earth thesis. Join Josh and M as they puzzle over the Flat Earth and Flat Earthers.
