About this listen

 Separating the credible from the conspiratorial, one theory at a time.

Have you ever seen a strange trail in the sky, a weird symbol on a dollar bill, or a grainy photo from a historical event and thought... is there something more going on here?

You’re not alone. The world is full of compelling mysteries and powerful theories that claim to expose the "real" story. But in an age of endless information, how do you separate the credible from the conspiratorial?

Welcome to Conspiracy Deconstructed, the show that steps into the heart of the rabbit hole so you don’t have to. Each week, we] take on one of history's most compelling conspiracy theories—from the alleged moon landing hoax and the secrets of Area 51, to the mysterious symbols of the Illuminati and the truth about UFOs.

But this isn't another show that feeds the paranoia. We do the opposite.

Using a calm, rational, and evidence-based approach, we will:
TRACE THE ORIGINS: Discover the exact moment and reason each theory was born.
PRESENT THE "EVIDENCE": Fairly examine the photos, documents, and claims that believers point to as proof.
DECONSTRUCT THE FACTS: Meticulously cross-reference the claims with primary sources, expert consensus, and declassified information to find the ground truth.
EXPLORE THE PSYCHOLOGY: Uncover why these stories are so powerful and what they tell us about ourselves.

If you're a curious skeptic tired of the noise, or if you've ever wanted a satisfying, fact-based explanation for the world's greatest mysteries, this is the podcast for you.

  • J.K. Rowling's Biggest Secret: The Ghostwriter & The Lie

    J.K. Rowling's Biggest Secret: The Ghostwriter & The Lie
    Sep 9 2025
    What if the name on the cover of your favorite book is a carefully constructed lie? For the world's most famous author, it was a secret identity that fooled the entire literary world... until it didn't.

    This is the incredible story of J.K. Rowling and the ghostwriter rumors that have haunted her career. We're diving deep into the secret world of ghostwriting and pseudonyms, exploring a practice as old as writing itself. But this isn't just a history lesson. We're putting on our detective hats to investigate the explosive case of Robert Galbraith—the mysterious debut crime novelist who was unmasked as the creator of Harry Potter herself. Why did she do it? Was she seeking unbiased feedback, or was it a clever marketing ploy?

    We’ll explore the fascinating "literary CSI" of linguistic analysis that can pinpoint an author's true identity from just a few pages, and unpack the ethical and legal minefield of who really owns a story.

    Stay until the very end, where we reveal the single, heartbreaking reason J.K. Rowling felt she had to hide her identity—and the one word that gave her away.

  • The Vatican's Biggest Lie: The Real Third Secret of Fatima

    The Vatican's Biggest Lie: The Real Third Secret of Fatima
    Sep 8 2025
    What if the most famous divine prophecy of the 20th century is a lie? Or worse, what if the real, terrifying truth has been deliberately hidden by the Vatican for over 60 years?

    This is the explosive story of Our Lady of Fatima. We journey back to 1917 Portugal, where three shepherd children received a series of visions that culminated in the "Miracle of the Sun," witnessed by 70,000 people. But the real mystery lies in the messages they received—specifically, the controversial Third Secret of Fatima. The official story from the Vatican links the secret to the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II. But is that the whole truth?

    We're diving headfirst into the fire, exploring the chilling theory of a Vatican cover-up. Did Sister Lúcia, the last surviving visionary, write down a different, more apocalyptic warning that has been silenced? We’ll examine the evidence, from claims of a hidden letter to the fierce debate surrounding the Consecration of Russia. Was it a divine warning for humanity, a masterful piece of religious theater, or the greatest Catholic Church conspiracy of all time?

    Stick with us to the very end, where we reveal the single piece of testimony that even the most hardened skeptics have a hard time dismissing.

  • Did the Large Hadron Collider at CERN Break Our Timeline?

    Did the Large Hadron Collider at CERN Break Our Timeline?
    Sep 7 2025
    What if the reason you misremember a movie line or a brand name isn't a faulty memory, but a scar from a collision with a parallel universe? And what if the machine that caused it is running right now, 27 kilometers beneath the Swiss-French border?

    In this episode, we're smashing particles and conspiracy theories together as we deconstruct the Large Hadron Collider. We'll dive headfirst into the internet's wildest claims: that CERN is secretly causing the Mandela Effect, opening portals to other dimensions, and risking the creation of a planet-swallowing black hole.

    But then, we'll explore the mind-bending real science, which is arguably even stranger. We'll unpack the hunt for extra dimensions, the bizarre world of string theory, and how physicists are using the LHC to test the very fabric of reality. This is the ultimate showdown between Reddit threads and reality, where the truth is more incredible than the fiction.

    Stick with us to the very end to learn the one thing the LHC could theoretically create that has scientists more excited—and a little more nervous—than any black hole.

    It's time to separate the science from the science fiction. Subscribe, share this with your favorite critical thinker, and tell us: what's the one Mandela Effect that you are absolutely sure is real?
