Queen Liz | 019

Sean and Jack talk about the social and political role of the monarchy which descends into a conversation about how the monarchy is a magnet for conspiracy theories and the left's relationship with conspiracy thinking. This week's segment takes those discussions further and builds upon the work of the philosopher Quassim Cassam and his research into the nature of conspiracy theories to better understand the left's relationship with bizarre and problematic conspiracy fringe groups.  ---  Mandatory Redistribution Party was created and produced by Sean Morley and Jack Evans. Our title theme was created by Ella Jean with additional music provided by Kahwe (https://soundcloud.com/kahwe). If you want to find out more about Quassim Cassam's work you can find his book on conspiracy theories here.
