from The Last Line · host James Albarn

In this episode of The Last Line James chats to science writer, skeptical investigator and conspiracy debunker Mick West. He is the creator of the websites Contrail Science and Metabunk which endeavour to provide scientific evidence to debunk pseudoscientific claims such as chemtrails, UFOs and conspiracy theories. In 2018, Mick released the book Escaping the Rabbit Hole. How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories Using Facts, Logic and Respect and in 2019 started his podcast Tales From The Rabbit Hole in which he interviews those involved, or once involved, in conspiracy culture. During their conversation James and Mick discuss contrails, anti-vaccine conspiracies, the Flat Earth theory and many more but with a view to discuss how people may get sucked into these conspiracies and the ways of thinking once inside the rabbit hole.
