Ep 126: The Conspiracy Catalogue (JFK Part 4)
explicitWe reach the final stage of our odyssey through the world of JFK assassination conspiracies, and for our final act we explore some of the many different conspiracy theories that have arisen from the storm of confusion left in the wake of the murder of JFK. From Cuban exiles to disgruntled Mafia bosses, from war-hungry spy masters to murderous aliens - it seems there are few left above suspicion once we get through the vast array of theories, from the potentially plausible to outright bizarre. And to round it out, the lads give their take on what they think it the most likely of the many scenarios put forward. Will Joe allow himself be swayed away from conspiracy by any of the evidence he has heard, or will he convert Darren to his point of view?

Ep 125: Magic Bullets & Mystery Men (JFK Part 3)
explicitWe move beyond the Texas School Book Depository, and explore the events and evidence that doesn't relate solely to Lee Harvey Oswald - from the Grassy Knoll, to the Magic Bullet, to The Umbrella Man and JFK's missing brain. This is where the mystery of the day really kicks in. Were there shooters behind a picket fence, was there a signal from a mysterious man standing at the curve in the road, why did the doctor who conducted the autopsy burn his notes? Who were the men seen in the railroad yard in the moments around the shooting? Was a puff of smoke seen on the Grassy Knoll as the shots rang out? We delve down into the further layers that make up the parts of the many JFK conspiracy theories, and ask what can be relied on, and what is debunked - as we explore what it is that ensures this story endures to this day. Plus we track how the story evolved in the years after November 1963, as a newly released video and a Hollywood blockbuster ensured the public could never lose the obsession with this unsolved mystery.

Bonus: The Narrators
explicitThe lads wrestle with some absolute nonsense this week, as your questions force them to consider things such as: Is a life better spent under the watchful eye of a narrator, loudly detailing your every move to the world, or a brass band following you with a bespoke playlist for your days? There are also brain busters forcing us to weigh up giant tricycles and hoverboards as a lifetime's transport. Joe, of course, comes in for some criticism - the people are against some of his recent big pronouncements on his ability to do absolutely anything - but also some love, it seems he was missed.

Ep 123: Down the Rabbit Hole (JFK Part 1)
explicitAt long last, after many (many) requests from Joe, we are at last descending down the rabbit hole that is the JFK assassination and the many (many) conspiracy theories that surround it. On the 60th anniversary of the murder of US President John F. Kennedy, we set out to understand why even today it remains the grandest of all conspiracy theories and a story that holds a seemingly infinite fascination for millions around the world. Why, after six decades, are so many people still so obsessed with the questions that linger around what happened that afternoon at Dealey Plaza? Is there any merit to the many, many conspiracy theories, and will the final truth ever be known? In this first part (of four) we look at the events of November 22nd, 1963,when one moment in Texas changed the world forever.

Bonus: It's not Rocket Science
explicitHopped up on tales of conspiracies - the lads wonder whether their listeners are being honest in their emails or if it's time that the identity of those sending in questions should be confirmed before their questions are answered. While awaiting the introduction of that process, they imagine the safest spot in their homes to hide a paperclip away, excluding the obvious answer 'up your bum'. Joe's never failing confidence in his own abilities, and unusual lunch combinations, also comes into question, while Darren struggles to see himself as the male lead in a romantic comedy.
