Episode 10 - Conspiracy Theories with Brian Dunning

Updated: Jun 12, 2020


Award-winning podcaster Brian Dunning joins Josh to discuss conspiracy theories and their impact on our political climate. Whether it’s allegations that Trump and Putin rigged the 2016 elections, Obama isn’t a natural-born citizen, or Bush and Cheney blew-up the twin towers to justify going to war in the oil-rich Middle East, our political conversations are often bedeviled with conspiratorial thinking. How do we discern the truth from alternative facts or fake news? And how do we tell if we’re in danger of conspiratorial thinking ourselves?
