About this listen

 Silas Gray of the Cold Logic podcast dives deep into the tangled web of conspiracies surrounding Denver International Airport (DIA). From the New World Order and elite survival bunkers to the enigmatic murals and rumored secret tunnels, this episode explores how public anxiety, opaque contracts, and symbolic architecture created a breeding ground for myth. We go beyond the folklore to examine the real-world psychology, political maneuvering, and historical facts that give rise to these enduring stories, asking what the conspiracies hide—and why we're so eager to believe them.
