EPISODE 160 | A Real Collusion

Two political parties hardly seems sufficient for a nation of 342 million, and yet that's exactly the situation in the United States. How did that come to be, and why does it persist?

Author Stu Strumwasser explores those ideas with his new novel A Real Collusion as well as in this conversation.

EPISODE 158 | Nasty NASA: The Challenger and Other Spacespiracies

At 11:38 am on January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger lifted off from Florida’s Cape Canaveral on its 10th mission and 73 seconds later exploded, killing everyone on board. This was seen live on television by millions of people because a civilian teacher was one of the crew.

At first, it was thought an external fuel tank had exploded. But after a thorough investigation, the real culprit turned out to be a faulty O-ring.

Over the years, more digging would uncover behind the scenes drama, some of which may have led to the disaster. And for some folks, conspiracy narratives started to circulate that the whole thing was fake, the crew was still alive, that it was aliens, that they slipped into a parallel dimension and so on.

Plus, NASA is often the target of conspironauts who think they know what’s “really” going on.
