The Conspirators Podcast — History
The Conspirators Podcast

The Conspirators is a show dedicated to the dark and disturbing stories from history your teacher never told you about. On the show I discuss unsolved mysteries, serial killers, survival stories, strange disappearances and other bizarre true events from the past.

Latest Episodes:

Ep. 224 - The Walk of Death Jan 22, 2024

Show notes

Although we tend to think of mass shooters as a modern day phenomenon, in truth these deranged individuals have been around for a lot longer than you think. In this episode I tell you the story of Howard Unruh, who in 1949 strolled through his Camden, New Jersey neighborhood and murdered 13 people in just as many minutes.

Ep. 223 - The Matrix Jan 08, 2024

Show notes

Are we living in the Matrix? What is reality? Many scientists, philosophers and mathematicians believe in the simulation theory, the idea that everything you see, hear, touch, smell and feel is all just a computer generated simulation of what you think is real life. In this episode we explore the evidence and try to figure out if everything is real...isn't. Hear the story of the tech company executive who died mysteriously and her disturbing final words. Hear the stories about glitches in the matrix, the Mandela Effect, and the mathematical evidence that points to us all being part of some massive computer generated illusion.
