  • Summary

  • Please note: this series contains adult themes, explicit language and references to child abuse and suicide. Listener discretion is advised.

    It started with an anonymous post in 2017. They called themselves 'Q' and left a trail of cryptic messages for an increasing number of followers to obsess over. Over the years, the conspiracy theory became a movement, crashing into mainstream politics and breaking countless families along the way. 

    Over this investigation, journalist Nicky Woolf dives into the online and offline world of QAnon in his search to find the shadowy figure behind it all and the legacy they've created.

I started out unconvinced, but this is one of the best podcasts I have ever heard 10/10

Louis Thoreaux-esque

And impossible to stop listening. A really fascinating listen, and while up to episode8, I’m gutted there aren’t more to listen to. A very interesting insight into how people get sucked in to Q Anon, as well as into a side of the internet I’d never delved into.

Captivating

Excellent investigative journalism podcast, kept me hooked wanting to binge it. Highly recommended especially for anyone who finds the madness of cults and conspiracy theories fascinating.

Very polished, quite interesting, but flawed

It's well worth listening to, I think Nicky Woolf has done a good job in explaining part of the Q Anon appeal, and influence, but I lost confidence in his journalistic skills when he dismissed the 'Gamer Gate' incident, as just young misogynistic, racist, and undesirable white kids having a tantrum. It's a very typical left wing narrative that only rings true if you believe what your told. Yes there were some jerks in the gamer gate issue, but not all of them, and to dismiss the movement so quickly and so decisively as purely bad shows a lack of journalistic integrity.
We are going to continue to struggle with people of the right wing of politics while ever we continue to demonise and ostracise them by presenting a partly true version of events that panders to and worse, pacifies the left. We need to value truth, we need to see that there are good people on both sides, and that there are just as many insidious, utterly fantastic ideologies, and cult like movements on the left side of politics. Until we do that, Nicky Woolf will have plenty more to complain about in years to come.
