New! Upon A Red Horse: Prelude --The Story of Milton William "Bill" Cooper
It's finally here. Our second major musical project, Upon A Red Horse, will appear in the feed daily from Monday May 1 to Friday May 5th. In this prelude episode, we explain the real-life story of Bill Cooper, the conspiracy theorist, author, radio host, and all around interesting guy whose heyday was the 1990s. I also explain why I thought this dude was a good subject for a 5-act musical pseudo-biography. Can't wait for you to hear the real thing next week.

Customer Reviews
Both funny and informative!
Jesuit’s combo of gleeful fascination and terrified ridicule strikes just the right note for me (a Gen Xer) in dealing with his subject. Which is terrifying and ridiculous.
Here’s a question: I want to know why everyone else in the world, or at least Europe, seems to like our conspiracies best?
Thoughtful, Clever, with Exceptional Depth
I learned about this show from a reference in a “40 year old boy” episode…. and am so glad I did. I appreciate the perfect blend of comical sarcasm and intellectual deep dives on relevant topics.
Good podcast. Corny delivery
Pretty good research, but the pointless sound bites that attempt to add humor don’t hit the mark. The delivery from the main narrator is fine but the lady who helps narrate needs work
