The Rabbit Hole: Conspiracy Theories

Latest Episodes:

Lindsay Clancy: Murder, Mental Illness & the Psyop Theory Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

On January 24, 2023, three children were found strangled inside their Massachusetts home while their mother, Lindsay Clancy, lay severely injured outside after an apparent suicide attempt. Lindsay was charged with their murders, but years later, her trial ended with a deadlocked jury.

At first glance, the case seems straightforward. Lindsay had been struggling with severe mental-health symptoms, had reported thoughts of harming herself and her children, and later described hearing a male voice commanding her to kill them. But once you start digging into the evidence, the timeline, her medications, her injuries, the digital forensics, and what investigators did—and didn’t—examine, questions begin to emerge.

In this episode, we walk through Lindsay’s story and the events leading up to the deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan before examining the theories surrounding the case: questions about Patrick Clancy, his timeline and future relationship, the missing digital evidence, the physical evidence inside the home, the strange parallels to another mother accused of killing her three children, doppelgängers, occult symbolism, numerology, and the theory that the entire case is being used to push a much larger agenda.

I’m not accusing anyone of committing a crime. These are the theories surrounding the case—and we’re going to examine just how deep this rabbit hole goes.

Question Everything: Skiba News Nation on JFK, Flat Earth & the Dead Internet Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

What happens when you discover that something you've always accepted as fact might not be true? Do you question that one thing—or does it make you start questioning everything?

This week, Dani is joined by Jeremiah Skiba and Jake Grant of Skiba News Nation for a wide-ranging conversation about conspiracy theories, skepticism, government distrust, censorship, and the search for truth.

They dive into JFK, the moon landing, NASA, Flat Earth, the dead internet theory, AI, social media censorship, and why questioning authority doesn't mean blindly believing every conspiracy theory you encounter.

They also discuss the other side of the conspiracy world: viral influencers, online feuds, bots, clout chasing, and the importance of being willing to challenge people within your own community.

Plus, Jeremiah and Jake talk about TrutherCon and why creating a real-world community for people who spend most of their time questioning things from behind a screen has become so important.

If one piece of the story isn't true, what else have we gotten wrong?

Follow Dani down the rabbit hole with Jeremiah Skiba and Jake Grant of Skiba News Nation.

Hayden Panettiere: Was Hollywood Hiding Something? Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

Hayden Panettiere had been famous almost her entire life. She was a child star, the cheerleader who had to “save the world” in Heroes, a country superstar in Nashville, and one of Hollywood’s most recognizable young actresses. But behind the camera, her life was unraveling.
After Hayden's death at just 36 years old, questions began circulating about the people, experiences, and strange connections surrounding her life.
In this episode, we trace Hayden’s story from childhood stardom to addiction, abusive relationships, the loss of custody of her daughter, and the disturbing experiences she later described in her memoir. Then we go deeper.
We investigate Hayden’s connection to Diana Jenkins and Room 23, the mysterious “Stella McAmis,” the Hollywood party Hayden attended at only 19, the yacht encounter she described, and the celebrities who moved through the same social circle. We also examine the theories surrounding Project Monarch, MKUltra symbolism, the eerie parallels between Hayden’s television roles and her real life, and the claims that she knew more about Hollywood than the public realized.
Was Hayden Panettiere's tragic story simply the result of a lifetime spent in the spotlight—or was something much darker happening behind the scenes?

The Lost Colony of Roanoke: What Really Happened? | Harini Bhat Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

In 1587, more than 100 English colonists settled on Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina. When John White returned three years later, the settlement was abandoned. There were no bodies and no obvious signs of a struggle—only one haunting clue: the word “CROATOAN” carved into a post.
So what happened to the Lost Colony of Roanoke?
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Harini Bhat, host of Hidden History, to go down the rabbit hole of one of America’s oldest and most enduring mysteries. We break down what we actually know about the disappearance, the significance of the Croatoan clue, and the theories that have attempted to explain where the colonists went.
Did the settlers simply relocate and integrate with Indigenous communities? Were they killed? Did disease, starvation, or conflict wipe them out? And after more than 400 years, is it possible that the answer has been hiding in plain sight?
Follow me down the rabbit hole as Harini and I investigate the Lost Colony of Roanoke.

Matthew Perry: The Ketamine Queen, Mattman & the Mystery Surrounding His Death Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

Matthew Perry spent decades publicly battling addiction, nearly dying more than once before becoming an outspoken advocate for recovery. Then, on October 28, 2023, the beloved Friends star was found dead in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home.
His death was officially attributed to the acute effects of ketamine—but what investigators uncovered afterward made the story considerably more complicated.
In this episode of The Rabbit Hole: Conspiracy Theories, we look at the people charged in connection with Perry’s death, including the doctors accused of exploiting his addiction, his live-in assistant who administered ketamine injections, and the alleged dealer known as the “Ketamine Queen.”
Then we go deeper.
We examine Perry’s strange final “Mattman” posts and lifelong fascination with Batman, his relationships and connections throughout Hollywood, the theories surrounding the people closest to him, and some of the eerie coincidences internet researchers have uncovered surrounding his death.
Was Matthew Perry’s death the tragic conclusion of a lifelong battle with addiction—or was a vulnerable celebrity surrounded by people willing to exploit him until it was too late?
Stay skeptical, and follow me down the rabbit hole.

Proof of the Impossible: What AI Is Really “Thinking” | Dr. Jeremy Heffner Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

Proof of the Impossible is part memoir, part exploration of artificial intelligence, and part philosophical argument. Dr. Jeremy Heffner—a trauma surgeon, engineer, entrepreneur, and researcher—argues that after years of developing a multidisciplinary framework for understanding reality, he used multiple AI systems (ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Claude) to evaluate his ideas. He describes the AI responses as unexpectedly validating, leading him to question whether he had discovered something profound about science, intelligence, and AI itself.
The book is not simply about AI. It's really about:
a surgeon's struggle with trauma and PTSD,
the search for meaning after professional burnout,
whether AI can become an intellectual collaborator rather than merely a tool,
and whether modern science has become too specialized to see larger patterns.
Throughout the book, Heffner repeatedly asks whether the AI responses represent genuine insight, sophisticated pattern matching, or something more unsettling.

Diddy Part 2: Suspicious Deaths, Blackmail & the CIA Sep 09, 2026

Show notes

In Part 1, we explored the allegations, controversies and disturbing stories surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs. But in Part 2, we’re going much deeper.
For decades, rumors have surrounded Diddy’s possible connection to some of the darkest moments in the music industry. From the murders of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. to theories surrounding the deaths of Aaliyah, Kim Porter and others, there are a lot of strange connections—and even more unanswered questions.
We’ll break down the theories, alleged motives, industry claims and suspicious coincidences surrounding these deaths before following the story into an entirely different rabbit hole: blackmail and the CIA.
Was Diddy’s extraordinary rise—and his ability to seemingly survive controversy after controversy—simply the result of money, influence and powerful attorneys? Were his parties and alleged recordings being used to collect compromising material on powerful people? And why have some people begun comparing his operation to Jeffrey Epstein’s?
This episode contains allegations and conspiracy theories that have not been proven as fact. As always, we’re laying out the claims, looking at the connections and asking you to decide for yourself.

Inside Chicago’s Corrupt Justice System | Former Homicide Prosecutor Gregg Owen Sep 07, 2026

Show notes

Former homicide prosecutor Gregg Owen spent years inside one of the most violent and notoriously corrupt eras in Chicago history. During his career with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, he prosecuted more than 60 murder cases and became the first Chief of the Gang Prosecutions Unit in Illinois.
Today, Gregg is taking us behind the scenes of a world most people only know from movies and headlines.
We talk about what actually happens during a homicide prosecution, the difference between solving a murder and proving it in court, witness intimidation, gang influence, courtroom strategy, wrongful convictions, and the corruption Gregg says he encountered from inside the justice system.
We also dive into the true double-murder case behind his book, Convergence—a case that was solved within days but took four years to reach trial as witnesses disappeared, fear took hold, and alleged courtroom corruption complicated the pursuit of justice.
After prosecuting more than 60 murders, does Gregg still believe the justice system works? And what has he seen behind closed courtroom doors that the average American never knows about?
Follow me down the rabbit hole with former homicide prosecutor Gregg Owen.

Sean “Diddy” Combs: The Rise and Fall of an Empire | Part 1 Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

For decades, Sean “Diddy” Combs seemed untouchable.
He built Bad Boy Records into a hip-hop powerhouse, launched successful businesses, threw parties attended by some of the biggest celebrities in the world, and amassed an enormous fortune along the way.
But Diddy’s story has always had a darker side.
In Part 1, we’re walking through his life from the beginning: his childhood, his rise through Uptown Records, the creation of Bad Boy, his relationships with Biggie and other major artists, the infamous parties, years of lawsuits and accusations, Cassie Ventura’s allegations, the federal investigation, and the criminal case that finally brought his empire crashing down.
But we’re not finished.
Next week in Part 2, we leave the documented history behind and head deeper into the rabbit hole to examine the conspiracy theories surrounding Diddy, his career, his connections, and some of the biggest moments in hip-hop history.
Follow me down the rabbit hole about Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Cathy O’Brien: Project Monarch, Mind Control & the New World Order Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

This week on The Rabbit Hole, I’m joined by Cathy O’Brien, author of Trance Formation of America, for a deeply disturbing and controversial conversation about her experiences and her claims surrounding Project Monarch.

Cathy has spent decades telling her story and speaking publicly about what she experienced as a victim of government mind-control experimentation and sexual exploitation. She also discusses her rescue and deprogramming by her late husband, Mark Phillips, and the information she says she uncovered along the way.

In this interview, we discuss Cathy’s experiences, the politicians she encountered, the concept of the New World Order, and whether the world today is moving toward the kind of centralized control conspiracy theorists have warned about for decades.

We also take the conversation into the modern world: How could mind-control or psychological manipulation work on a population today? What role does social media play? And are algorithms, propaganda, fear, and information overload creating new ways to influence the masses?
