Unveiling Modern Conspiracies and Historical Truths with Otto English

Initiates! Before you get stuck into this episode, we have a special announcement.After nearly 3 years of making the podcast, we stumbled upon a format that fulfills much of what we wanted to do with the podcast. Within days of recording the "This Is Fine" episode, it became clear to both of us that this had everything SDCIC was about. This episode gave us the opportunity to debunk conspiracy theories and counter disinformation on a play by play basis. It gave us a chance to share our unique perspectives and personal experiences at times. And of course, the privilege to roast the nuttiest of these cultists.So we're going to continue making this series as the bulk of the show for now.. but don't worry!We will still make deep dives! (We have already recorded a 10 part series on Ancient Aliens - and written the next series)We will still have interviews!We will still do Movie Night with Greg!We still love mixing up the format here! So in order for us all to distinguish between the different formats, this new series will be titled "The World According To Some"... shorthand: TWATS.Thanks for your support! If you have any questions, never hesitate to comment or contact us!Enjoy!Today we are looking back to the events from 20th to the 27th of January 2025. *AD FREE EPISODES ARE AVAILABLE AT https://www.patreon.com/somedarecallitconspiracy FOR JUST $2 PER MONTH - JOIN US AND SUPPORT THE PODCAST*Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/some-dare-call-it-conspiracy--5932731/support.
