I am Consciously Curious Victor Chan I am Consciously Curious is a Chicago based podcast that dissects passionate individuals in various industries.

If you are interested in coming on or know someone that would be great for the podcast, please message us on fb/ig: @iamconsciouslycurious Explicit GKP - General Knowledge Podcast Lee Maddox Real News Australia and TOTTnews are independent alternative news sites based in Australia. This podcast is about news we cover plus our own thoughts and theories about the world as it is today. Explicit Tales From The Rabbit Hole Mick West Tales from the Rabbit Hole is an interview-style podcast focusing on people whose lives have been affected by the conspiracy theory rabbit hole. Guests will include both former and current believers in a variety of conspiracy theories, as well as debunkers, skeptics, and the investigators of those theories. I’m Mick West, a debunker. I wrote the book Escaping the Rabbit Hole – How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories using Facts, Logic, and Respect. This book came from my experiences running Metabunk – a debunking forum. Over the years I realized simply presenting corrections to people is not enough. We need effective communication, and we can’t do that if we don’t listen to and talk with each other. I’m hoping this podcast will help bridge that gap.
