Episode 39: Might As Well Be Staring At The Sun

This week we're taking a look at that classic piece of conspiracy accoutrement, the tinfoil hat. And should you stare directly into the sun in order to gain its mighty powers? NO OF COURSE NOT. Everyone knows the only way to gain the power of the sun is to sup of its blood.

The JFK Files dropped on Friday and we have been getting into them. Here's a quick mini-sode wherein we discuss which files are capturing the imagination of the conspirosphere.

Episode 37: Sandy Hook To Vegas

This week we talk mass shootings and what compels the conspiracies behind them. It's not super fun talking about these kinds of things but here we are, talking about them. It's a good episode and we get to the bottom of some garbage theories espoused by garbage people. 

Episode 36: Cuban Sound Beams And Pop Punk Day Dreams

Salty and Robbo return from the great lands of Europe. What did they find? Tales of Cuba and Blink 182! This week there are sonic weapons, CIA funded social media, and a pop punk icon decides to go to space via reality TV. Love it, love us, love conspiracies. 

Episode 35: Spots & Shots!

This week on #Hypothepod, Robbo, Salty & Cam dive down the needle hole of vaccines. Why did everyone in the West stop getting their jabs? (bad reasons) Why did everyone in Pakistan stop getting theirs? (fair enough reasons?) Who was Andrew Wakefield, and were his autism warnings just a cover for the truth about your shots: that they're getting you ready to be a Terminator?

Episode 34: What Else Do I Have To Say?

Folks, it's time to tackle the big one. John Effin Kennedy. What was the magic bullet? What shadowy forces were moving against ol' smilin' Jack? Which President did JFK become after he got murked? And how did he do it with his bloody brain missing from the Archives?

Episode 33: Comfortably Numbered

This week we take a quick dive into the mysterious world of numbers. What do all the digits represent in the Grand Plan they've been cooking up down the Lodge? And does anything mean anything when everything means something?

Episode 32: He Was A Skater-Bot

This week we're joined by Mike Mills from the band Toehider to discuss matters musical - which pop stars are dead and which are merely agents of the New World Order preparing us for the Singularity?

Episode 31: Dynamite or a laser beam?

This week we take a look at 9/11 - was it a case of MIHOP? Or the less hands-on but no less immoral LIHOP? Or was it LIHOP+? What warning signs did the authorities fail to notice - we all know about the blokes not getting landing lessons, but what about the clues in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

Episode 30: A Million To One, Snopes Said

We rummage around the red planet looking for rats and rabbitss. Then we send Salty and Robbo off to Europe with a celebration of recaps. So tune in... if you dare!
