The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy

M's not available this week, so Josh takes a look at an oldy but a goody - honest to goodness cattle mutilations. Once a staple of UFO lore, they haven't had much press lately until they unexpectedly did. What's really behind this phenomenon? Why cows? Is this just an pretext to say "anus and genitals" more often than we usually do in this podcast? These and other questions will go unanswered.

We're taking another look at the conspiracy theories around the assassination of JFK, just like it was 2014 all over again. Or possibly just like it was 1963 all over again. Time travel is involved, definitely. Also, squid penises for some reason. — You can contact us at: podcastconspiracy@gmail.com Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79

Aha! The wheel has come full circle and the shoe is now on the other foot - Josh is recording a filler episode, as this week's recording schedule was disrupted by events outside our control. Without M to break the monotony of his own voice, Josh resorts to podcast recommendations and currents events in an attempt to keep things interesting. Such is life.
