The Conspiracy Behind The Truth Jack Ruby and Agent K These will be some late night episodes of 2 guys exploring some conspiracies. Some will be commonly known conspiracies and others may be something that we’ve made up. We aim to have a general discussion about why some may have the beliefs they do about these topics however, it is unlikely we will ever debunk or prove correct any of them. So with that being said it would be preferable that we don’t disappear should we happen to prove something either correct or incorrect. Explicit Late Night Pillow Talk Nichole Highfill Do you ever have those nagging thoughts that play in your head for hours? Those awkward memories that just pop up at 2 in the morning? Conspiracy theories that you just have to tell someone? Well you're in luck, so do I. This podcast will explore the late night thoughts of one weird woman and the strange things that come to mind at night. Explicit Friday Night Fringe Friday Night Fringe We are fascinated by the inexplicable, the hidden, the silenced, the alternate explanations, and above all, stories of those who have lived "on the Fringe".On this podcast, hosts KJ, Ashe, Will, & Sheldon cover fringe topics such as: Conspiracy Theories, UFOs / UAPs, Paranormal phenomenon & the Supernatural, Secret Societies & Cults, Fringe Science & more!Friday nights are on the fringe! Explicit The Abracast Jon Towers Occult, History, Conspiracy, Violence.Host, Jon Towers pours a giant drink and tackles topics weekly. Sometimes dark, sometimes mysterious but always entertaining. Jon presents the information in a conversational but edgy tone and struggles to add context and often levity to these examinations of dark magic, the mysteries hidden in dusty old books, forgotten myths, unknown stories of our past, politics and pop-culture and plots from secret organizations and elites.In realms (occultism and Podcasts) dominated by leftists, statists, boot-lickers, new-agers, and other nonsense The Abracast tries to provide a different point of view to these difficult topics.
