    Somerton Man with Candace Jane Opper

For our October bonus episode, dear friend of the show Candace Jane Opper—who I fail to introduce in any way—comes to discuss the theories we create when we have only a handful of clues, and how our conspiracy theories can drive us apart or bring us together.
