Paranoid Planet: Recent Episodes
Burden Of Proof Media
PARANOID PLANET is a podcast about conspiracy theories, paradigm shifts, and critical thinking that offers serious and lighthearted conversations with people who believe in conspiracy theories, and with the skeptics who critique them. We will also explore several historical, philosophical, artistic, psychological, and scientific themes related to conspiracies and the study of knowledge. Whether you are an avid conspiracy follower or a hardened skeptic, our aim is to help you become a better critical thinker and a proponent of healthy public discourse.
The one where we discuss the Skinwalker Ranch, the relationship between ufology and the intelligence community, UFO "abductee" Travis Walton's hoax-busting nemesis, and the darker side of the UFO research community, with archivist, podcaster, singer, and ex-ufologist Erical Lukes.
Brought to you by the B.L.I.P., your newest space-age, New Age, and grossly underaged illicit cosmic community.
