The Inside Story of How Belief is Manufactured: Confessions of a Professional Conspiracy Theorist

from Persuasion by the Pint · host Jonathan Taylor

On this episode, we welcome Patrick Clark to the show. He's recently written a book, under his pen name Will Camden, called "Confessions of a Professional Conspiracy Theorist". It's the inside story of the conspiracy movement and how belief is manufactured. In the book, Patrick pulls back the curtain on his 30 years in PR, and how he worked to shape what you think, buy, and believe. It describes how he used the same skills and techniques as part of an organised campaign that made you believe in aliens, rebranded the Devil as the Illuminati, and convinced thousands that the government had weaponised lampposts.
