New! Unidentified, Episode 5: Do the Ancient Aliens enthusiasts have a point? 28:41

10d ago28:41

28:41

Don't let our title fool you. We haven't gone soft on the horsefeathers that is Ancient Aliens theory. But in this episode, we do find the best, most rigorous book on the topic written by an enthusiast, try to give him the benefit of the doubt, and then realize that his worldview is still fatally flawed. Plus, we talk strawmen versus steelmen argum…

New! Unidentified, Episode 4: O-negative blood type? You're probably an Ancient Alien 36:32

24d ago36:32

36:32

Episode 4 is all up in that Basque. Ok, so that joke deson't work. But the episode does! Learn why von Daniken acolyte Nick Redfern is pretty sure the Basque people of Northern Spain and Southern France are totes aliens, you guys. Oh, and if you have a "negative" instead of a "positive" blood type--guess what? You're an ET, too. Come explore this v…

New! Unidentified, Episode 3: Jesus Christ, Ancient Astronaut 32:30

1M ago32:30

32:30

We're still digging down into the Erich von Daniken rabbit hole, touching on some other authors who have followed EvD's lead in speculating about the extrarrestrial origins of the stories underpinning Judaism and Christianity. In other words, you're about to learn why Jesus isn't just your co-pilot--he's in charge of the whole goddanged UFO. Also, …

New! Unidentified, Episode 2: Ancient Aliens, Chariots of the Gods, and the Swiss Felon 32:52

2M ago32:52

32:52

Introductions done, we dive into our first subject in this grand UFO series--that is, Ancient Aliens and the man most responsible for bringing them to us, Erich Von Daniken. In addition to being a hilariously self-regarding fabulist, EVD is also just a very weird dude with quite a checkered legal past. We get into all of that, as well von Daniken's…

New! Unidentified, Episode 1: In which we narrowly evade an anal probing 29:30

2M ago29:30

29:30

Seems like we've been promising this for ages, but it's finally here. Welcome to our next (very) long series, which we've called "Unidentified", because we think it's a cool name, but also because if we just called it "UFOs", or something, we'd be selling our ambition short. Yes, we're going to cover all of the standard "are aliens visiting us" stu…

New! Quick-ish hit! Paul is Dead? Part 2 34:55

3M ago34:55

34:55

And here's the second part of our rundown of the Paul is Dead musical conspiracy theory. In this episode, we consider the long-term implications of this brief mania, as well as the modern conspiracists who just won't let it go. UFOs start in two weeks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

New! Quick-ish hit! Paul is Dead? 31:38

3M ago31:38

31:38

We're back! But we're not doing UFOs yet. First, we're doing a two-parter on one of the most famous music-related conspiracies in modern history--that is, the sudden mania that gripped The Beatles fandom, who for very confusing reasons in 1969 started thinking that Paul McCartney had secretly died and been replaced with a doppelganger, whose voice …

New! Qanon: How we got here - Conclusions 33:33

6M ago33:33

33:33

I can't believe it myself, but we actually got to the end of this series. In this one, we get a visit from Computer Guy, who leaves much the worse for wear, check in on the Qanon Children's Crusade, and finally consider the example of Lara Logan, a talented journalist who has gone full Q-razy. It's been quite a ride. We'll spend the next couple of …

New! Qanon: How we got here - Trump as Q's Messiah--Literally 34:50

6M ago34:50

34:50

Here, one episode away from the finish line, we finally consider the question that has haunted theologians for thousands of years. What if the messiah was actually Donald Trump? Yes, we engage with a strange branch of evangelicalism that is literally considering Trump for godhood. Plus, we examine the phenomenon of Trump coins, a currency almost co…

New! Qanon: How we got here - Time travelers, plea deals, and the great Qanon grift 34:00

7M ago34:00

34:00

In this, our antepenultimate Qanon episode, we hear what's almost certainly the weirdest Q story of them all--the tale of Austin Steinbart, a man who believes Q is a future version of himself. Plus, we check in on those formerly repentant Q-crazed January 6th convicts, and examine Qanon as one of the great grifting opportunities of our time. Two mo…

She has returned to us! Oh, blessed day. Yes, it is with gratitude that we say goodbye to Elena Pegasus and hello to our very own mythical horse lady, freshly returned from her monthlong European summer sojurn. MUST BE NICE. And we look back on the Epstein story (still unconvinced that he had help killing himself), and talk about why Q nuts went bu…

New! Qanon: How we got here - Q invades Deutschland and Down Under 29:47

One day later than you might have expected, due to the Labor Day holiday, we're wrapping up our Q world tour with a couple of scenic stops in Australia and Germany to learn how our favorite home-grown American nonsense has impacted our friends around the world. Co-host Elena Pegasus continues to keep this train a-running, but look forward to the tr…

New! Qanon: How we got here - Romana Didulo, The Q-ueen of Canada 32:09

8M ago32:09

The terrifying reign of Elena Pegasus continues! Seriously, though, our guest co-host once again joins us to explore another truly bizarre story from the annals of Qanon. This one is Romana Didulo, the self-proclaimed Queen of Canada, and trust me when I tell you the story is weirder than you think it is, even if you've heard something about her an…

Don't Panic! Our lovely Dana Unicorn is on monthlong European vacation (MUST BE NICE! I'm not bitter), and the wonderful Elena Pegasus, her cousin, has stepped into the breach as we detail the fallout of Russiagate, and how it affected the growth of Q, Plus, we talk about the dumbest political slogan of my lifetime. More Elena next week, as we dive…

This time, I'm maybe gonna hit some of you where it hurts. By "some of you", I mean "those of you who like me loathe Trump and want to believe every bad story about him, and have trouble admitting we may have been wrong about some of them." So, yeah. We're talking about Russia Gate, and how those who cling to it in spite of a total lack of evidence…

New! Qanon: How we got here - Q, The Clinton Body Count, and the COVID Lab Leak 35:50

9M ago35:50

35:50

Hi everybody. This time, as promised, we actually get back to talking about the last few years of Qanon. But not until we reveal the cordwood stacks of bodies that Bill and Hillary supposedly left in their bloody path to power. Oh, and we also reminisce about that time Christopher Hitchens wrote a book about all the times the Clintons lied. It's al…

Greetings from the PAST! I have uploaded this show early, because I'm on what we like to call "vacation." However, the content wheel never stops spinning, and so today you will hear all about Glenn Beck's Agenda 21 freakout (aka New World Order Part 2), and then the origins of the Clinton mania that eventually led to the "but her emails" and Qanon …

Miss us? Well, we missed YOU! But we appreciate your bearing with us during our post-Upon A Red Horse break. Our batteries recharged, we continue our discussion of the New World Order panic of the 90s and how it led directly to some of Q's major currents. This time, it's panic about black helicopters, and over a satire that they misread as a real p…

It's finally here. Our second major musical project, Upon A Red Horse, will appear in the feed daily from Monday May 1 to Friday May 5th. In this prelude episode, we explain the real-life story of Bill Cooper, the conspiracy theorist, author, radio host, and all around interesting guy whose heyday was the 1990s. I also explain why I thought this du…

New! Qanon: How we got here - The Q World Order 35:04

1y ago35:04

35:04

Action packed, that's the only word for it. This time, we start with the greatest conspiracy-slash-prophecy show around, Newswatch Magazine with David J Smith. Next, we talk about what, exactly, the New World Order is, and how it served as a prelude to the eventual obsessions of Qanon. We get a little nostalgic about the shit people were panicked a…

New! Qanon: How we got here - Portrait of the Jesuit as a young conspiracy obsessive 40:31

1y ago40:31

40:31

Yeah, this is kind of a weird one. Starts with a deconstruction of the two versions of the Christian End of the World novel Left Behind, then follows with an analysis of the weird shit young Jesuit listened to back in his 20s, and how those apocalyptic loons draw a straight line to the Qanon of our current day. It was a fun episode to put together.…

New! Qanon: How we got here - How Trump had the Clintons executed (according to Q) 35:25

1y ago35:25

35:25

We're a day late, but boy howdy do we have some nonsense to share with you. Learn how the book of Revelation apparently predicted modern attack helicopters. And how Christian and Jewish zealots are working together to raise sacrifice a red cow to bring the arrival and/or return of the Messiah. And how Donald Trump had Hillary and Bill executed. And…

New! Qanon: How we got here - The Antichrist and Qanon 31:42

1y ago31:42

31:42

When we started this series, who thought we would be doing a multi-episode detour into the Book of Revelation? Certainly not your fearful host. But the more we got into this topic, the more we realized that end-times fanaticism, which defines not just the decade of the 90s, but also certainly Q's whole "the storm is coming" thing, deserved a thorou…

New! Qanon: How we got here - The Book of Revelation, and why the world isn't ending 27:03

1y ago27:03

27:03

Yeah, there's still a little sex-trafficking teaser at the beginning of this one, but it also inaugurates our next topic. That is--how did the apocalyptic year-2000 obsessions of the 90s seed the ground for the eschatological focus of the Qanon cult? Over a few episodes, we plan to answer that question, and in the process, we plan to revisit some o…

New! Qanon: How we got here - How conspiracy-driven panics ruin lives 33:53

33:53

We said last episode was our final Satanic Panic episode, and we meant it! At least, mostly--we still have to wrap up the surprising and awful story of how our interviewee, Justin Sledge, found himself caught up in a late-breaking satanic panic as a 1990s teenager. Plus--Debbie Nathan helps us see what forest we're missing for the sex trafficking p…

The Paranoid Strain? They still do episodes of that show? Will wonders never cease. Sorry we're late. I promise, we weren't being neglectful. We just got caught up in a combination of holiday obligations, ongoing research, and a mountain of work for an upcoming project so ridiculously grandiose, we can't believe it ourselves (and it was our idea). …

New! Qanon: How we got here - The media does PR for the Satanic Panic 34:27

Our de facto holiday episode is here, not that there's anything notably Christmassy about it. Or even Hannukah-y. We continue to lift up the rocks of the Satanic Panic and watch the horrible worms and bugs squirm in the disinfecting light of the truth. This time, we turn our attention to the way the media fanned the flames of the panic, convincing …

New! Qanon: How we got here - Phallic puppets against satanic pederasty 31:53

We're waist-deep in Satanic Panic, with no end in sight. Our story continues with details of the McMartin preschool trial, the highest-profile, most emblematic event of the whole sad, deluded era. Our expert interviewees walk us through the gory details...you know, normally when people use that expression, they don't mean it. Unfortunately, in this…

You asked for it, you got it. The 80s Satanic Panic--especially related to supposedly abusive daycares, was a direct antecedent to the Qanon child abuse/sacrifice mania. So we dive into the whole icky story. Joining us is interviewee Debbie Nathan, pioneering skeptical journalist who was among the first to call bullshit on the whole nightmare, whic…

Last stop before our full, multi-part discussion of the Satanic Panic of the 80s and early 90s. This stop is back in the depths of antisemitism, the miasma from which so many conspiracies arise. Learn how the unsolved murder of a 12-year-old boy in 12th century England was transformed into an unkillable, slanderous rumor tying Jews to ritual murder…
