Conspiracy Theories Debunked takes one popular conspiracy theory at a time, from the moon landing and flat Earth to chemtrails and secret societies, and checks it against the evidence. We look at where each theory came from, why it spreads, what the record actually shows, and how to think clearly about extraordinary claims. Calm, curious, and evidence-based, with no mockery of the people who believe them.This show includes AI-generated content.
