Alien Eggs, UFOs and Conspiracy Theories for the End of History

U-F-Whoa! It's the penultimate episode of Series 2, and this week Dan and Kasia consider the Wyrd 1990s, bedding down in Area 51 with Mulder and Scully (and their mates from the Judeo-Masonic-Bolshevik NWO) to ask why alien conspiracies thrived in mainstream pop culture immediately after the end of the Cold War. Was this catharsis as the threat of nuclear annihilation receded? Or just a silly distraction in a godless universe? Why do conspiracy theories appeal to people in the first place? Also featuring crop circles, Corbyn conspiracies, yer man Senator McCarthy and S Club 7's visit to the Bermuda Triangle.
