S3 Ep 19: We talk Twin Peaks and Conspiracy with Isaac Weishaupt

We talk to our favorite conspiracy podcaster Isaac Weishaupt, host of Occult Symbolism and Popular Culture! He is an expert on all things esoteric and is just as obsessed with pop culture as we are. It’s a winning combination that makes his show incredibly entertaining and informative. Isaac comes on to talk to us about the world of conspiracy podcasting, early influences like William Cooper and David Icke, and how he and Micaela met when they started a dialogue about the new conservatism and hatred that has infiltrated conspiracy truther culture. We also discuss Isaac’s new series chronicling his journey into the occult symbolism in the mythology of Twin Peaks, The Gray Lodge.
