Those Who Conspire Zack Hightower & Kyle Moody

It's a Christmas miracle! We blew the dust off the podcast and are bringing you a brand new episode, just in time for the holidays. This year we interviewed producer, screenwriter, and author Kathleen Hale about her latest book, Slenderman: Online Obsession, Mental Illness, and the Violent Crime of Two Midwestern Girls. We highly recommend the book and can't wait for you to hear the interview.

Zack and Kyle finally emerge from Hell (also known as Omicron) to bring you the second part of the Satanic Panic. Congress! Bad videos! Heavy metal! All this and more as we pack more devilish goodness than you can handle into an episode of the podcast People Magazine called "content found on the internet!"

Zack and Kyle spend their holiday season with the man of the hour (checks notes)...wait, Satan? That's right; we look at the Satanic Panics of the 20th century in this first of two episodes focusing on old Hornhead and the changing America.

Zack and Kyle log into Facebook and poke each other about the social network's influence, its role in spreading misinformation, and get meta about the Metaverse. Plus, we answer a meme that goes south for Zack real fast. All this and more as soon as you check your notifications for...Those Who Conspire.

Dr. Kathleen Belew (University of Chicago) guests on the podcast to discuss conspiracy theories, the law, and her new edited collection A Field Guide to White Supremacy. Kyle and Zack listened, learned, and were proud to have Dr. Belew shed light on how the issues of the past are still impacting our future.

Zack and Kyle go looking for feral people in national parks. What they found was a weird and wooly history of hiking in the United States. We hope you're ready for a podcast that tackles no media and social media all in the same one because it's been a while and we missed you!
