Episode notes

This week, facts and fiction, disinformation and historical truth. The world of the conspiracy can be a deep dark rabbit hole. It can consume peoples lives with men in black suits, chemtrails and boogeymen. But sometimes they turn out to be true. Why do we like a good conspiracy? How can we tell if something is true? Can we ever combat the rise in conspiracy belief? Was the moon landing fake? Was someone on the grassy knoll? Was Harold Holt secretly a Chinese Agent who was picked up by a submarine? Was there a grand conspiracy by the leadership at my school to give Siobhan the job I was going for? and ultimately how did it come to this?
