Some Dare Call It Conspiracy
by Some Dare Call It Conspiracy
Some Dare Call It Conspiracy is an investigative podcast examining conspiracy culture from the inside out.Hosted by Brent Lee and Neil Sanders, the show explores how conspiracy narratives form, how they spread, and why they are so effective at capturing attention and loyalty. Both hosts spent years immersed in conspiracy belief before walking away, giving them first-hand insight into how these movements operate, evolve, and entrench themselves.Drawing on lived experience, deep research, expert voices, and a distinctly British sense of humour, the podcast combines serious analysis with sharp, often self-deprecating commentary.

Deep Dive • David Icke & The Biggest Secret (Part 09)
Hello Initiates...David Icke’s The Biggest Secret is one of the most influential conspiracy theory books ever written. It has shaped modern discussions around the Illuminati, secret societies, the Rothschild family, Freemasonry, ancient bloodlines, and global elite control.In this series, we’re reading the entire book from start to finish and working through the claims as they appear in the text.No summaries and no second-hand interpretations. We follow Icke’s arguments as he presents them, then examine the evidence behind them and compare them with the historical record.This first series covers the opening three chapters. These sections lay the foundations of Icke’s worldview, including his early claims about hidden power structures, elite family networks, and the development of ideas that would later expand into his reptilian hypothesis.Because the book is extremely large, we’ve split this project into parts.These first nine episodes cover the opening section, but they set the stage for everything that follows.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/some-dare-call-it-conspiracy--5932731/support.Some Dare Call It Conspiracy is an award-winning podcast that examines conspiracy theories, misinformation, and moral panics — not from the outside, but from the inside.The show is co-created and hosted by Brent Lee and Neil Sanders, both former insiders in the conspiracy world who spent years immersed in conspiracy belief, alternative media, and grassroots activism before walking away.

Vulture Wars II: Henry Nowak (Part 3/3)
Hello Initiates…The Vultures are back.Last year, we documented the wave of influencers, conspiracy entrepreneurs and engagement farmers who descended on the murder of Charlie Kirk before many of the facts were even known. We called it Vulture Wars.Now it's happening again.This three-part series examines the tragic murder of Henry Nowak. As always, we begin by establishing what actually happened, separating verified facts from speculation before turning our attention to the people who immediately weaponised the tragedy for clicks, followers and political agendas.Across the series we build a timeline of viral claims, misleading narratives and outright disinformation, showing how a single horrific crime was transformed into online content almost in real time.Who got it wrong? Who knowingly pushed falsehoods? And who profited from turning tragedy into engagement?Join us as we expose the vultures once again.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/some-dare-call-it-conspiracy--5932731/support.Some Dare Call It Conspiracy is an award-winning podcast that examines conspiracy theories, misinformation, and moral panics — not from the outside, but from the inside.The show is co-created and hosted by Brent Lee and Neil Sanders, both former insiders in the conspiracy world who spent years immersed in conspiracy belief, alternative media, and grassroots activism before walking away.

Deep Dive • Paul Is Dead!? (14/14) Was McCartney Replaced? [Full Series On PATREON]
What if one of the most famous musicians in the world died in the 1960s and the public never realised? For decades a corner of the conspirasphere has insisted that Paul McCartney didn’t survive the height of The Beatles. According to the story he died in a car crash in 1966 and was quietly replaced by a look-alike. A man some believers claim was called Billy Shears. It sounds ridiculous. And yet the theory has refused to die. In this brand new 14 part Deep Dive we take the most detailed modern version of the claim, Billy’s Back, an abridged version of The Memoirs of Billy Shears, and use it as a springboard to investigate the whole thing properly. We go through the claims piece by piece. The supposed clues in album artwork, lyrics and interviews. The timeline the theory relies on. The people who helped spread it in the first place. And some of the modern voices in the conspirasphere who still promote it today. Along the way we also dig into where the story actually came from and how a rumour from the late 60s managed to evolve into a fully fledged conspiracy theory that still circulates today.Webpage for photos referenced in the series > https://www.somedarecallitconspiracy.com/paul-is-deadJoin us on Patreon to hear the full series right now https://www.Patreon.com/somedarecallitconspiracyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/some-dare-call-it-conspiracy--5932731/support.Some Dare Call It Conspiracy is an award-winning podcast that examines conspiracy theories, misinformation, and moral panics — not from the outside, but from the inside.The show is co-created and hosted by Brent Lee and Neil Sanders, both former insiders in the conspiracy world who spent years immersed in conspiracy belief, alternative media, and grassroots activism before walking away.

What if one of the most famous musicians in the world died in the 1960s and the public never realised? For decades a corner of the conspirasphere has insisted that Paul McCartney didn’t survive the height of The Beatles. According to the story he died in a car crash in 1966 and was quietly replaced by a look-alike. A man some believers claim was called Billy Shears. It sounds ridiculous. And yet the theory has refused to die. In this brand new 14 part Deep Dive we take the most detailed modern version of the claim, Billy’s Back, an abridged version of The Memoirs of Billy Shears, and use it as a springboard to investigate the whole thing properly. We go through the claims piece by piece. The supposed clues in album artwork, lyrics and interviews. The timeline the theory relies on. The people who helped spread it in the first place. And some of the modern voices in the conspirasphere who still promote it today. Along the way we also dig into where the story actually came from and how a rumour from the late 60s managed to evolve into a fully fledged conspiracy theory that still circulates today.Webpage for photos referenced in the series > https://www.somedarecallitconspiracy.com/paul-is-deadJoin us on Patreon to hear the full series right now https://www.Patreon.com/somedarecallitconspiracyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/some-dare-call-it-conspiracy--5932731/support.Some Dare Call It Conspiracy is an award-winning podcast that examines conspiracy theories, misinformation, and moral panics — not from the outside, but from the inside.The show is co-created and hosted by Brent Lee and Neil Sanders, both former insiders in the conspiracy world who spent years immersed in conspiracy belief, alternative media, and grassroots activism before walking away.

The Downfall Of Dr David Cartland 4/4
Hello Initiates…This is the story of how an online “truth-telling doctor” became a regulatory case study in professional collapse.In this four-part, seven-hour investigative series, Some Dare Call It Conspiracy examines the rise and fall of Dr David Cartland — a GP who built a massive following during the COVID era by positioning himself as a whistleblower fighting corruption, censorship, and medical tyranny.But behind the viral clips and anti-establishment rhetoric, a different pattern was unfolding.A Medical Practitioners Tribunal found proved that Cartland engaged in years-long harassment of fellow doctors, encouraged his followers to target individuals, posted abusive and discriminatory content, and demonstrated dishonesty in relation to COVID exemption documentation The result: erasure from the medical register.Across this series, we break down:The construction of the “persecuted doctor” personaThe mechanics of online pile-ons and audience captureThe tribunal evidence — in detailThe psychology of grievance influencersWhy supporters stayed loyal despite mounting red flagsHow internet outrage can spiral into real-world consequencesThis isn’t just about one man.It’s about what happens when identity, ideology, and audience collide.Join us and discover where the truth lies.

Deep Dive • Paul Is Dead!? (4/14) Was McCartney Replaced? [Full Series On PATREON]
What if one of the most famous musicians in the world died in the 1960s and the public never realised? For decades a corner of the conspirasphere has insisted that Paul McCartney didn’t survive the height of The Beatles. According to the story he died in a car crash in 1966 and was quietly replaced by a look-alike. A man some believers claim was called Billy Shears. It sounds ridiculous. And yet the theory has refused to die. In this brand new 14 part Deep Dive we take the most detailed modern version of the claim, Billy’s Back, an abridged version of The Memoirs of Billy Shears, and use it as a springboard to investigate the whole thing properly. We go through the claims piece by piece. The supposed clues in album artwork, lyrics and interviews. The timeline the theory relies on. The people who helped spread it in the first place. And some of the modern voices in the conspirasphere who still promote it today.

Deep Dive • Satanic Illuminati Music Industry (13/13)
Hello Initiates, and welcome to Some Dare Call It Conspiracy. In this episode, we continue our Deep Dive into the Satanic Illuminati Music Industry conspiracy theory, a long-running narrative that claims popular music is controlled by secret elites using occult rituals, mind control, and hidden symbolism to manipulate artists and audiences.Drawing on lived experience, research, and careful analysis, we trace where this theory comes from and why it continues to feel persuasive. We explore how older myths, moral panics, and recycled ideas are repackaged for new audiences, and how celebrity culture and alternative media ecosystems help keep the story alive.This series is sparked by a wave of claims circulating in alternative media, including an interview on Ickonic that alleges secret rituals, MKULTRA-style programming, and Faustian bargains within the music industry. Rather than accepting these stories at face value, we use them as a starting point to examine the evidence that is claimed, the evidence that is missing, and how vague anecdotes are often mistaken for proof.Over the course of thirteen episodes, we examine the origins of the myth, the figures who popularised it, the cultural references used as evidence, and the internal contradictions that cause the narrative to collapse under scrutiny.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/some-dare-call-it-conspiracy--5932731/support.Some Dare Call It Conspiracy is an award-winning podcast that examines conspiracy theories, misinformation, and moral panics — not from the outside, but from the inside.The show is co-created and hosted by Brent Lee and Neil Sanders, both former insiders in the conspiracy world who spent years immersed in conspiracy belief, alternative media, and grassroots activism before walking away.

Deep Dive • Satanic Illuminati Music Industry (6/13)
Hello Initiates, and welcome to Some Dare Call It Conspiracy. In this episode, we continue our Deep Dive into the Satanic Illuminati Music Industry conspiracy theory, a long-running narrative that claims popular music is controlled by secret elites using occult rituals, mind control, and hidden symbolism to manipulate artists and audiences.Drawing on lived experience, research, and careful analysis, we trace where this theory comes from and why it continues to feel persuasive. We explore how older myths, moral panics, and recycled ideas are repackaged for new audiences, and how celebrity culture and alternative media ecosystems help keep the story alive.This series is sparked by a wave of claims circulating in alternative media, including an interview on Ickonic that alleges secret rituals, MKULTRA-style programming, and Faustian bargains within the music industry. Rather than accepting these stories at face value, we use them as a starting point to examine the evidence that is claimed, the evidence that is missing, and how vague anecdotes are often mistaken for proof.Over the course of thirteen episodes, we examine the origins of the myth, the figures who popularised it, the cultural references used as evidence, and the internal contradictions that cause the narrative to collapse under scrutiny.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/some-dare-call-it-conspiracy--5932731/support.Some Dare Call It Conspiracy is an award-winning podcast that examines conspiracy theories, misinformation, and moral panics — not from the outside, but from the inside.The show is co-created and hosted by Brent Lee and Neil Sanders, both former insiders in the conspiracy world who spent years immersed in conspiracy belief, alternative media, and grassroots activism before walking away.

Deep Dive • Satanic Illuminati Music Industry (1/13)
Hello Initiates, and welcome to Some Dare Call It Conspiracy. In this episode, we begin our Deep Dive into the Satanic Illuminati Music Industry conspiracy theory, examining how this narrative formed, why it feels convincing, and how it has managed to endure.This is a long-form investigative series sparked by a wave of claims circulating in alternative media about secret rituals, mind control, and Faustian bargains within the music industry. Using a high-profile Ickonic interview as a starting point, we examine how vague anecdotes, recycled myths, and cultural references are repeatedly presented as evidence, and how a sprawling narrative has grown around musicians, symbolism, and alleged occult control despite a consistent lack of substantiation.Drawing on lived experience, research, and careful analysis, we take the listener step by step through the claims, context, and cultural conditions that allow this conspiracy theory to thrive, before laying out where it collapses under scrutiny.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/some-dare-call-it-conspiracy--5932731/support.Some Dare Call It Conspiracy is an award-winning podcast that examines conspiracy theories, misinformation, and moral panics — not from the outside, but from the inside.The show is co-created and hosted by Brent Lee and Neil Sanders, both former insiders in the conspiracy world who spent years immersed in conspiracy belief, alternative media, and grassroots activism before walking away.

Deep Dive • Natural Nurse or Toxic Influence (5/5) The Paloma Shemirani Story
Hello Initiates, and welcome to Some Dare Call It Conspiracy. In this episode, we conclude our Deep Dive into the case of Paloma Shemirani, one of the most widely discussed and emotionally charged inquests in recent UK history.This five-part series examines the story from multiple angles, including family dynamics, public controversy, medical decision-making, and the wider cultural environment in which misinformation and distrust of institutions can flourish. Our aim is to understand not just what happened, but why it resonated so strongly and what it reveals about the information landscape we are all navigating.Drawing on official inquest findings, publicly available interviews, and media and expert commentary, we work carefully through the available evidence and competing claims. We examine statements from Paloma’s family members, investigators, and healthcare professionals, grounding each episode in verifiable sources and clear context rather than speculation or sensationalism.Across the series, we explore how online influence, alternative health narratives, and community reinforcement can intersect with deeply personal decisions, often with irreversible consequences.Some Dare Call It Conspiracy is an investigative podcast hosted by Brent Lee and Neil Sanders, examining conspiracy culture from the inside out using lived experience, research, and a distinctly British sense of humour.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/some-dare-call-it-conspiracy--5932731/support.Some Dare Call It Conspiracy is an award-winning podcast that examines conspiracy theories, misinformation, and moral panics — not from the outside, but from the inside.The show is co-created and hosted by Brent Lee and Neil Sanders, both former insiders in the conspiracy world who spent years immersed in conspiracy belief, alternative media, and grassroots activism before walking away.

ABOUT THIS SHOW
Some Dare Call It Conspiracy is an investigative podcast examining conspiracy culture from the inside out.Hosted by Brent Lee and Neil Sanders, the show explores how conspiracy narratives form, how they spread, and why they are so effective at capturing attention and loyalty.

The focus is on systems, incentives, and influence, rather than punching down at ordinary people caught up in belief.The show is best known for its long-form Deep Dives into specific conspiracy narratives, commentary on conspiracy influencers and alternative media ecosystems, and interviews with journalists, researchers, and ins
