    20. Was the covid vaccine one big conspiracy? With James O’Brien

    Remember when Bill Gates tried to vaccinate the world against the coronavirus in order to microchip us all? Or was the World Health Organisation trying to alter our DNA? Or make us infertile to control the global population? Whatever the explanation, misinformation and conspiracy theories around the covid vaccine was a huge part of the global pandemic. In the last episode on the season, the boys are joined by James O’Brien, LBC host extraordinaire, to enter the mirky world of anti-vaxxers. Jol and the two James’ chart the origins of the anti-vax movement, and discuss how and why wild conspiracy theories flourished during the coronavirus pandemic. James O’Brien also reflects on the state of the nation, giving his takes on Boris, democracy in general, and, surprisingly how he shouldn’t be bothered private members’ clubs. James O’Brien can be heard on LBC every weekday from 10-1. He is the author of the books ‘How Not To Be Wrong’ and ‘How To Be Right’. The New Conspiracist will be back in the new year.

    18. Was Paul McCartney replaced by a lookalike? With Deborah Frances-White

    In June this year one of the world’s most famous musicians headlined Glastonbury. It was hailed as a history-making set, spanned nearly three hours, and featured iconic Beatles songs, massive pyrotechnics, and guest performers. The organisers of Glastonbury will have you believe this man was Paul McCartney, but was it really? For over 50 years there has been speculation that the real Paul McCartney died in a car crash and was replaced by a lookalike, and that we have this stand-in Paul to thank for everything since 1966. Comedian, broadcaster, and lifelong Beatles fan Deborah Frances-White joins James and Jol this week to explore this bizarre conspiracy. Expect your classic stoner questions, from what do you see when you hold a mirror up to the cover of ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’, to what ‘Revolution 9’ sounds like played backwards. No Beatle-shaped stone is left unturned, as we decided whether it really was Macca who graced that stage so masterfully at Glastonbury. Deborah Frances-White is the host of the hugely successful The Guilty Feminist podcast. Once a week with us not enough? Join us in the Tier 4 Platinum circle.

    How did James start a conspiracy theory on Twitter?

    A few weeks ago, whilst watching the Tory party conference, James idly sent a tweet about Liz Truss’ outfit resembling that of a character from a TV show. Little did he know that he was about to start a conspiracy theory of his own. Twitter users in their millions (/hundreds, James isn’t THAT big online), started to agree that James’ wry observation comparing Truss to a fictional fascist Emma Thompson carried some weight. But, really, this is a case of James flying too close to the sun, as Icarus’s sideways look at the news caused a backlash. Extremely special guest, Producer Michael, joins James in the studio to dissect his conspiracy theory’s rise and fall. A Somethin’ Else & Sony Music Entertainment production.

    17. Did the government tank the economy to line the pockets of the hedge funds? With Duncan Weldon

    It’s a *Special Topical Episode* this week, as we look at whether Kwasi Kwarteng’s recent mini-budget was done to specifically tank the British economy and make millions for the hedge funds. We know that Kwarteng sipped champagne with various hedge fund managers after his now infamous announcements, which begs the question, were the Tories in bed with the hedge funds all along? To help unpack this fiscal dilemma, James and Jol are joined by economist, journalist, and all round clever clogs Duncan Weldon, formerly of The Bank of England, The Economist, and BBC’s Newsnight. And if you’re confused as to why the Bank of England had to intervene to clear up the government’s mess, why the markets completely lost faith in Kwarteng’s vision, or why the British economy has become 'The Vibes Economy', then this is the episode for you. Duncan’s book ‘Two Hundred Years of Muddling Through: The surprising story of Britain's economy from boom to bust and back again’ is out now, and you can subscribe to his ‘Value Added’ Substack now.
