@ConspiracyClearinghouse listened to a few episodes out of order and really enjoyed them. Good digs into a lot of aspects of the topic, the host has rye sence of humour that even in heavy topics causes me giggle along, and great music references (I'll always be happy with a #NickCave or #Bowie reference). Looking forward to catching up with the rest of #ConspiracyClearingHouse episodes
