Between the summers of 1976 and 1977, the serial killer known as the Son of Sam terrorized New York City. After police arrested a postal worker named David Berkowitz, the city could finally rest easy because the killer was behind bars. But is that all there is to the story?

Ep. 295 - Operation Highjump

In 1946, the United States sent the largest naval fleet of its kind on a secret mission to Antarctica. Officially, the reason given for this mission was to map the continent and to train soldiers. But unofficially, this was actually a mission to find and destroy a secret Nazi base. But when they got there they found themselves facing an ancient race with flying saucers that they couldn't hope to defeat.

These stories always turn out to be phony and there is an obvious answer to a supposedly weird unexplained story These stories always align with the truth that most mysteries are not mysterious.

The Conspirators is a show dedicated to the dark and disturbing stories from history your teacher never told you about. On the show I discuss unsolved mysteries, serial killers, survival stories, strange disappearances and other bizarre true events from the past.
