The Conspiracy Files: Unpacking Apollo, Roswell, and the American Mythos

Why do certain events capture our collective imagination and refuse to let go? In this episode, we delve into the world's most enduring conspiracy theories, from the "staged" moon landing to the alleged UFO crash in Roswell. We're not just asking "Did it happen?" but the more compelling question: "Why do we believe it didn't?" We'll explore the historical context, the psychological drivers of conspiracy thinking, and the lasting impact these narratives have on our trust in government and science. Join us as we separate the evidence from the folklore and examine the shadow America we've built in our minds.
