THIS WEEK IN CONSPIRACY: Spies, social sabbath and satanism

Conspiracy Cabal

Show Notes

In this episode of This Week in Conspiracy Dr. Nick Coatsworth and Richard Baker talk about Iran and Chinese intelligence ops in Australia, how Nick’s social media sabbath went, and we foreshadow this weeks full episode on Satanic Panic in the 70's 80's & 90's.

The Conspiracy Cabal doesn't promote conspiracy theories — we examine them.

We search for the kernel of truth in every story, exploring how conspiracies start, why they persist, and what drives people to believe them.
