Conspiracy Theory 101

from Glitter & Doom · host BRIC RADIO

Conspiracy theories used to be about the existence of Sasquatch, the Lock Ness Monster, or aliens! They were fun or funny, but now, not so much. Today, troubling conspiracy theories flourish like measles in a Marin County Montessori. How did the extreme go mainstream? We talk to Anna Merlan, who went above and beyond the call of duty, spending years of her life talking to conspiracy theorists from coast to coast while researching her new book, Republic of Lies - American Conspiracy Theorists and Their Surprising Rise to Power.

Mavens Do It Better Heather Newman What is a Maven? A maven is an expert, sometimes a self-proclaimed one. We catch up with experts or "mavens" in their industries who do what they are passionate about, bring the hustle and light up an extraordinary spark in our world. Sometimes we eat, sometimes we drink, sometimes we do it outside, sometimes from a noisy expo hall, sometimes there is glitter, sometimes there is popcorn and sometimes we dance. But every time we talk about life and biz. We catch mavens wherever they are in the world, cause they simply do it better.
