Mini-Episode: True Government Conspiracies
Ooops sorry, Katelyn didn't book a guest for this week! Which means it's time for a good old fashioned solo mini-ep! This week Katelyn did a bunch of research on actual government conspiracies that have been labeled 'conspiracy theories' but turned out to be 100% real. Such as! The FBI surveilling US citizens just because they didn't like their politics, the Gulf of Tonkin incident that helped kick off the Vietnam War, the first female President (slay queen) and the horrifying things scientists did to study radiation in the human body. NEWS FLASH: sometimes the US government sucks!

The LA Streetcar Conspiracy with Jonathan Harris
It's Chinatown, Jake. Well actually it's just the greater LA area and it's not Jake it's writer Jonathan Harris. BUT the basic premise is the same - a group of powerful people decided that they wanted to take over a public commodity for their own greedy purposes, leaving the city high and dry and stuck in shitty traffic. This week we're talking about the alleged conspiracy that inspired Who Framed Roger Rabbit, that a cabal of car companies purposely destroyed the thriving LA streetcar network, and BOY are we having a fun and intellectual time.
