The Conspiracy Room
by ABSX Network
Every famous event has an official version. And then there's the version people still whisper about, the one that never made it into the record. Welcome to The Conspiracy Room. Ships that sailed on with no one aboard, people who disappeared without a trace, secret government programs, lost relics and deaths that never made sense. In every episode I take one real event and tell you its legend in full, with the real people, places and dates, as if every word were true. Then I hold it up against the evidence and tell you honestly what survives. I'm Jordan Lindberg. I've never been able to leave a closed case alone, and these are the ones that kept me up at night. New episodes of The Conspiracy Room drop every Wednesday and Saturday at 5 PM Eastern. Follow the show so you never miss a file I open.
