Those Conspiracy Guys — Comedy
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.

David Koresh and The Waco Massacre Aug 22, 2021

Show notes

DEEP DIVE -

On this episode we talk about an event that arguably changed America forever; destroyed the perceptions of law enforcement for anyone that witnessed this event on mainstream media; and irredeemably erased at least some of the faith that Americans held dearly when it came to constitutionally held aspects of the US culture like freedom and security; this time we are talking about David Koresh and The Waco Massacre.

In 1993 in Waco Texas the ATF and FBI initiated a sting on a Branch Davidian compound which resulted in a fire fight and a 51 day siege which ultimately led to the deaths of the 79 members of the so-called cult and their leader David Koresh. Investigations into the ethics and execution of these government agency order went on all through the 90s at a congressional level, but these agencies never saw justice.

Koresh and his followers were killed by the US Government; this was on suspicion of child abuse, drug production and illegal arms sale and stockpiling. Many think that these charges were trumped up and that a community like this couldn't be allowed to exist in the United States.

Ian Huntley Aug 05, 2021

Show notes

TRUE CRIME -
On this episode we talk about one of the most tragic and seemingly preventable crimes to rock the UK in the past 30 years; a short lived but unbelievable mystery of a killer who tried to famously help police and, through media interviews, cemented his own undoing; this time we are talking about Ian Huntley.
Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman; two young girls from Soham in East Cambridgeshire, England were abducted and murdered by Huntley and he then brazenly went on to try to help to solve the case. He and his girlfriend willingly gave interviews to the press and were very forthcoming with advice and musings on what may have happened to the girls.
In the time the authorities were still searching for their killer, the relentlessly reported search for their bodies, indelibly etched images of sniffer dogs, line of police searching through countryside fields and those two infamous Man Utd football jerseys, on the minds of everyone old enough to know what was going on.
Radio presenter Keith Ward joins me on this episode and we catch up on the good times I spent being a guest on his FM104 PhoneShow back in the day :) We also get deep on this one about what its like to try to stand up to someone being publicly suspicious around kids and why on earth the authorities didnt do something about Ian Huntley when the alarm bells were ringing and they had the chance.

The Montauk Project Revisited Jul 06, 2021

Show notes

DEEP DIVE -
On this episode we revisit an old topic and give it a new perspective; a classic conspiracy and one that still splits conspiracy theorists down the middle when it comes to its voracity, the players involved and the legitimacy of their claims. With huge names in conspiracy come even grander tales of time travel, body swapping, psychic powers and more as this time we revisit The Montauk Project
Al Beilek, Preston Nicholls and Duncan Cameron; the veritable three amigos of contemporary conspiracy lore, all shine in this story of mind control stations, abducted gifted children, underground bases and conjured monsters. At Montauk, Long Island at a spot called Camp Hero lies a radar array that when utilised in the correct manner can send out orgone energy from gifted kids to manipulate the minds of the masses.
Sounding like Stranger Things? Yeah thats because it a big inspiration and the story gets even crazier from there; with Al Beilek darting back and forth across the sacred timeline and Duncan Cameron talking about conjuring a demogorgon from an alien tech mind chair! Madness, but great craic. We dove deep on this one and revisit older topics like The Philadelphia Experiment, to give a full context on the events surrounding The Montauk Project
_____________________
Joining me on this episode are Neil Rochford and Eamonn O'Neill. You can find Neil here @NeilRochford on Twitter and you can buy his Montauk Project adjacent paranormal crime thriller 'The Blue Ridge Project' here http://neiltr.com/gravity-landing/the-blue-ridge-project/ and Im sure if you gave him a follow and a DM there could be a deal done for the price of it :)

Dennis Nilsen May 05, 2021

Show notes

TRUE CRIME -
On this episode Tom O Mahony joins me to chat about one sick pup; known as the Kindly Killer and one of the creepiest the UK can produce, Dennis Nilsen; a former policeman and army private, murdered an unknown amount of young men in his London homes in the 70s and 80s. Nilsen is thought to have killed up to twenty homeless and homosexual men after luring them to his various apartments, killing them and burying the bodies under floorboards.
It was also discovered that Dennis Nilsen was partially a cannibal and he kept the dead bodies of his victims as 'company'. Nilsen is renowned for being one of the weirdest killers on any true crime list because his peccadillo was talcing the dead men and watching TV with them, and then eventually boiling their bodies and flushing them down the toilet; which became his eventual undoing.
The reason we know so much about Nilsen, his methods and his motivation is because he was more than forthcoming with the information in interviews after his arrest. How much of this can be believed is up to you; but the detail he goes into is reminiscent of other famous murderers. Dennis Nilsen is portrayed by David Tennant in the TV series 'Des' where a lot of these details went into the production.

Aileen Wournos Mar 15, 2021

Show notes

TRUE CRIME -
On this episode we talk about Americas first female serial killer and one of the most tragic stories of abuse and poverty you can imagine; this is Aileen Wournos. From the most dysfunctional and abusive upbringing, Aileen dragged herself out of her hometown and hitch hiked across America, partaking in loads of anti social behaviour; arrests; crimes and selling her body along the way.
Aileen's behaviour escalated and she began to take some sort of deadly revenge against the men who abused her and began killing her clients. She began a seemingly loving relationship with a woman and the cycle of murder, larceny, and fraud started in earnest. This is a story of someone who fell into a life that they couldnt escape and it eventually swallowed them entirely!
Arrested, tried and eventually executed Aileen Wournos is a harrowing tale of a wretched unfortunate soul who ended up being documented by film makers and immortalised as a tragic case of inescapable circumstance. We talk about this; what drove her to these crimes; her history and the proceedings of her case; and the sociological theories behind someone in her unenviable position.

Bob Marley Feb 20, 2021

Show notes

DEEP DIVE -
On this episode we discuss arguably the most famous musician to have ever lived; a man who not only pioneered a music but a movement and while preaching a message of peace through his songs, was repeatedly violently attacked and tragically died before his time; Bob Marley.
From a meagre start in the streets of Trenchtown, Jamaica to the dizzy heights of international super stardom, Bob Marley wanted to do more than just sing songs and make money. His mission was to heal through music, to heal what hurts the soul and to heal a broken system that was the cause of the suffering of so many.
In this endeavour he made some powerful friends and equally powerful enemies and attempts on his life caused him to have to leave Jamaica. Bob Marley's music and meaning still endure today, as moving and poignant as it ever was. His death, however tragic and untimely, has also been alleged to have been a further plot to silence his powerful voice.

Peter Stumpp Feb 05, 2021

Show notes

TRUE CRIME -
On this episode we go all the way back to the 16th century to chat about a real sick puppy; The Werewolf of Bedburg, Peter Stumpp. An occult document details the story of Peter Stumpp and his despicable misdeeds such as killing and eating women and children and loads of other depraved animalistic satanic stuff.
Stumpp apparently made a deal with the devil for the enviable power to turn into a wolf man at will and commit these atrocities. He was found guilty and put on trial; but we discuss the legitimacy of these legal proceedings and whether this was a hysterical monster manifestation to temporarily quell the tsunami of spiritual suspicion in Germany at the time.
