Through candid conversations you'll discover how to create lasting change without restrictive diets or complicated food rules. Whether you struggle with stress eating, late-night snacking, or portion control, this podcast helps you understand your relationship with food and build sustainable habits that actually last.

Explicit Tales From The Rabbit Hole Mick West Tales from the Rabbit Hole is an interview-style podcast focusing on people whose lives have been affected by the conspiracy theory rabbit hole. Guests will include both former and current believers in a variety of conspiracy theories, as well as debunkers, skeptics, and the investigators of those theories. I’m Mick West, a debunker. I wrote the book Escaping the Rabbit Hole – How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories using Facts, Logic, and Respect. This book came from my experiences running Metabunk – a debunking forum. Over the years I realized simply presenting corrections to people is not enough. We need effective communication, and we can’t do that if we don’t listen to and talk with each other. I’m hoping this podcast will help bridge that gap. Explicit Miscast Entertainment Miscast Entertainment This is Miscast Entertainment, with your hosts, William Davis Moore, Greg, and JJ!
