Those Conspiracy Guys
Those Conspiracy Guys is a history, comedy and true crime podcast from Ireland produced and presented by Gordon Rochford and the topics discussed are varied and wide-ranging; from the speculations on the out-there conspiracy theories like aliens, time travel, and ancient civilisations to researched discussions on the more grounded, historical and provable conspiracies like political and financial corruption, scientific chicanery and secret government agency shenanigans.In long-form group discussions; interviews with authors and experts; live stage shows and streams with an eager audience; and collaborations with other conspiracy creators; Gordo examines all the wildest notions and most unbelievable theories in the ever broadening genre of 'conspiracy'. From the high-concept topics like inter-dimensional lizard men, complicated assassination plots and potential future technologies like alternative simulated universes; to the much more tangible topics like discussing serial killers and mysterious true crime cases; exploring the history of religions and cult leaders; and historically profiling the lives and times of some of the most influential people to have lived, and died.Those Conspiracy Guys brings you on a light hearted and hilarious exploration of these fantastic stories through thoroughly researched and painstakingly contmeplated production; making it easy and fun for these sometimes heavy and complicated topics to be digested, with lashings of good old irreverend Irish craic from host Gordon Rochford and a cavalcade of hilarious comedians, committed creators and fabulously interesting guests.

Fred and Rosemary West
TRUE CRIME - On this episode we lift up the patio slabs of deception to find the sludgy bones of truth on this, one of the roughest episodes to date, where we talk about the Gloucester House of Horrors occupied by the infamously cruel Fred and Rosemary West,This terrible tale of rape, murder, incest, abuse, torture, and mutually supported pure psychopathy from these two hell crossed lovers, rocked the world when the vast scope of their dark deeds came to light in the early 90s. Coming from equally destructive upbringings they met and dealt a wicked fate to dozens of young girls; two serial killers unknown to one another; married and in the same house! The story has to be heard to be believed; and I don't usually take content precautions but this one is particularly rough on the details, so go lightly!An amazing case and a great episode and documentaries and other materials will follow!

Tin Foil Hat with Sam Tripoli - George Orwell 1984
SWAPCAST - On this SwapCast I chat with Sam and XG about some eerily predictive fiction from one of the most famous authors of the 20th century, George Orwell. His book Animal Farm published in 1945 was a scathing indictment of the communist political agenda and was a massive cultural palette cleanser in a world now faced with an ideological dichotomy of socialism versus capitalism. He detested the cult of personality that had grown up around Stalin during the war years and foresaw the problems that lay ahead for the world should this ideological esteem pave the way for a tyrant in absolute control. 1984 was the extension of this critique and the world that was created in this book was based on the tools and methods of totalitarian dictatorships that are now being echoed in the modern media landscape. The oppressive regime depicted in 1984 ring true today with social media deplatformings mimicking the actions of Winston Smith working for the Ministry of Truth and the Thought Police and blatant propaganda tactics shown in the actions of politically charged social media platforms.I chat with Sam and XG about the man himself, Orwell's journey to writing 1984 and some of the more important warnings Orwell writes about that are showing themselves in the modern political discourse. DoubleThink, NewSpeak, and The Memory Hole are all terms often used when talking about cultural and political debate online these days; and Orwell saw it all happening in 1949! Enjoy this chat anyway and let me know what you think. Ill be uploading this to the main podcast for the next 30 days but I will definitely be doing a George Orwell episode in the future on TCG, a big one! :)---You can find Sam here: https://twitter.com/samtripoli and the Tin Foil Hat Podcast here: https://twitter.com/TinFoilHatCast or check out all their good stuff on their website here: https://tinfoilhatpodcast.com ---LIVE SHOW ANNOUNCEMENTIm doing a LIVE SHOW as part of the Cork Podcast Festival this weekend on Saturday 12th October in Kino theatre in Cork City.

The Conspiracy Farm - Agenda 21
SWAPCAST - On this SwapCast I chat with Jeffrey Wilson and Pat Miletich from The Conspiracy Farm podcast about the plan to thin the herd all the way from the UN, Agenda 21. There is a cultural and political agenda to undermine western civilisation as it stands, because of some perceived systematic inadequacies in the 'system' Anarchists propose to burn the whole thing down; but the UN and the dark cabalistic powers that be claim there is another way.Agenda 21 is a long term plan to depopulate the planet by poisoning the food slowly; making people infertile and promoting abortion; promoting mass migration and the dilution of western culture; among other methods. I chat with the lads about some of the more famous Agenda 21 plans and TCG has a main episode coming very soon about Agenda 21 so we will go deep and give the details. This episode is available on the main feed for 30 days and if you don't want spoilers for the upcoming deep dive Agenda 21 episode then give it a miss because it hits all the high notes :D It is good craic all round though and trying to put the pieces together makes looking at these functions of control in society a lot easier to see, when viewed from a different perspective.---Find The Conspiracy Farm podcast here: https://twitter.com/ConspiracyFarm1 or on their website here: https://theconspiracyfarm.comOr cozy up to the presenters Jeffrey Wilson and Pat Militech here: https://twitter.com/imJefferyWilson and https://twitter.com/patmiletich________________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.

Room 104 - YouTube Censorship
SWAPCAST - This SwapCast with Cormac Moore from Dublin's FM104 is about the recent YouTube censorship of conspiracy theory and politically divisive creators. It's known as the VoxAdpocalypse and was apparently started by Vox 'journalist' Carlos Maza as he attacked Steven Crowder, accusing him of homophobic slurs and personal attacks. This started a tidal wave of deplatformings, demonetisations and other ideologically restrictive actions on the part of Youtube. So much so that anti trust proceedings may be in the pipeline.

Casey Anthony
TRUE CRIME - On this episode we talk about a tragic and very high profile case that inexplicably hasn't been truly solved, but has still ruined the lives of most involved; this time we are talking about Casey Anthony. In 2008 a small child went missing from the Anthony household in Florida, this turned into one of the most high profile trials in US history.Caylee Anthony, born 2005, was under the care of her mother Casey Anthony, 22, when she went missing. With no-one able to verify her whereabouts for 31 days Casey Anthony was arrested and the massive web of lies began. Caylee's tiny body was found by a neighbour and during the ensuing court case, wild accusations of negligence, incest and molestation were thrown around.This is a far from a typical tabloid case and the strange unbelievable story has to be heard. The circumstances around Casey Anthony's testimony, the evidence against her, and her inexplicable exoneration are a puzzle for the most diligent true crime minds. ---Joining me on this episode is actress and producer and star of stage and screen Amelia Stewart.

Anti Vaccination
DEEP DIVE - On this episode we talk about probably one of the most contentious topics of our time, and as far as conspiracies go, it's having a very real and measured effect on the health of the human race. We discuss the history and the kooky science behind the anti-vaccination debate.Vaccinations have been an important part of the survival of the human race and in the last 100 years, with the improvements in medical technology, life spans and standards of living have increased exponentially. But recently people have been questioning the legitimacy of vaccinations and even go so far as to question the integrity of organisations like the CDC, claiming many conspiracy level motives such as sterilisation and population control; widespread autism and other neurological maladies; and even something as benign as greedy business practices.This may not be what you are looking for in a conspiracy podcast about vaccinations so tread carefully, but what you will get is a look into the history of vaccines; claims about their negative effects like Autism; and a look at the man and the work that began this insidious doubt, Andrew Wakefield and his now infamous paper from the Lancet.Im joined by Neil Rochford (http://www.twitter.com/neilrochford) and Gareth Stack (http://www.twitter.com/garethstack) for this rollercoaster and over an hour of outtakes will be available at patreon.com/thoseconspiracyguys________________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.

The Siege at Ruby Ridge
TRUE CRIME - On this episode we talk about a lesser known domestic terrorist incident involving the full might of the FBI coming down on a small cabin in the wilderness in Idaho; the Weaver family were ensnared in their mountain cabin in the summer of 1992 in what has become known as The Siege at Ruby Ridge.Pegged as a white supremacist, Randy Weaver moved his family up into the wilderness of Idaho and decided to live a simpler life. His wife Vicky and son Sammy were killed in a shootout with the FBI after an undercover investigation into his involvement with a local white supremacist Neo nazi group resulted in Weaver selling a sawn off shotgun to an agent in disguise.More than 400 agents set up base camp outside his humble home and snipers took shots at him and his family. Hostage negotiators were deployed to diffuse the situation but criticism came in hard for the FBI and their heavy handed tactics. We discuss what happened that day and the political implications it had; the presidents for incidents like Waco and Oklahoma City and the current presence of similar bad actors in the US today.Joining me I have Eoin Hamilton and Dara Carroll from The Auld Triangle podcast________________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.
