Welcome to the first ever episode of the My Three Cents podcast hosted by Julianne O'Connell and Sophia Maggi! In this episode, we talk about the Moon landing conspiracy theory and explore common arguments made by conspiracy theorists over the past five decades, and, armed with these points, Julianne tries to convince Sophia that the Apollo 11 Moon landing was faked. We also dive into the origins of the theory and the theory's prevalence in pop culture. Make sure you stick around for the twist, it's one you don't want to miss!
