    It's doubtful that the full truth will ever be known--nevertheless, this episode is a fascinating summary. Thank you!

    Unlistenable format
    I second the reviews about the format. The extremely corny and obvious script ruins a decent idea.
  • Charles Mulls
    Should rename the show to “that’s what they said”
    I’ve listened to the first handful of episodes, but it feels like they’re in a reading class, taking turns and such. They also will talk about the theories then ultimately stick with the official story and say the theories can’t be true because they aren’t the original story. Horrible podcast.
  • btykodi
    Not accurate and that’s disappointing
    I’ve been listening for a while and loved the podcast until it covered a subject that I know about in depth. I suddenly realized the portrayal of the subject matter was completely inaccurate. So that must certainly carry over to all the other episodes. Not worth a listen.

    Still Waiting
    Great show! Still waiting on a Covid 19 episode, though.

    I provides a lot of evidence and explains well as well as speaking well
  • mysterymach
    Meh
    I thought this was going to be stuff I had never heard of- listened to the Manson attorney episode and was excited- and it was all stuff I already knew. Definitely for newbies, but not for us hoary old folk who know this stuff.

    Attack on Architecture?
    Just listened to the Tartarian episode, and I think I might be dumber now! This feels like an attack on the history of architecture the way AI proponents are trying to argue that creative artists have been “gatekeepers.” Ridiculous. Love the show, though! I listen every week.

    Very good
    I’ve Been listening for a while when I read the reviews a lot of people are talking about how it’s to liberal and they want to have episodes where they are bias but that’s not this podcast. This podcast is about every perspective and I respect that only thing I want you to have another host

    Reviews Convinced Me
    I wasn’t going to try this podcast, but all the reviewers crying about it being “Liberal” convinced me to listen just to see what they were fussing about. And, as usual, people were complaining about nothing. It’s a good podcast and non-political.

    Excellent Show
    I’m not aware of any show that’s better than this one. Really bright writing and good narration although I don’t care for Molly’s voice. At least it’s not high pitched. The subject matter is well chosen. I only wish some of them were twice as long. My new favorite show.
  • CTMW Fan
    It’s okay
    Lose the music as it is distracting.

    Amazing
    I love this show. No complaints.❤️

    Please write an episode about this creature, please I love the show. Please show the world that modern science is incorrect. This is an actual dinosaur that lived 30 years ago and could still be alive today.
  • JoKir83
    It was fun until the format change.
    I’m done listening. The format change was not for the better. It made me stop listening to serial killers too. It’s too bad. They were good shows. Gonna go listen to the Why Flies instead.
  • mgrahn
    Where are all of the Aliens?
    How can you have a podcast about aliens existing or not with any mention of the recent UAP congressional hearings? Kind of short sighted! There is a lot of information regarding military encounters, etc.
  • Vdubbing
    Stop sharing other shows
    Please stop featuring other podcasts some are terrible. The story teller in the other world podcast was so bad I wanted to unfollow this shoe. So instead enjoy this one star since it’s not your show you can have a bad review
  • Awesomenesslyamazing
    Good show
    I like the show and the history behind conspiracies. My only issue was the “carters pick otherworldly” episode. I like to be open minded and give things a try but I really didn’t like the episode nor the podcast I ended up skipping through it because it was unbearable. I still love this podcast and listen to every episode when it comes into my queue.
  • Gdog4200
    Longer episodes
    I LOVE the series especially the “James bond” episodes anything to do w spies and history or murder, love the pizza bomber episode AND killdozer and the fact that they are true stories makes it that much cooler! I just wish the episodes where longer!
  • twolskii
    Good but…
    Great podcast, interesting and well-researched. But enough with the “CE” and “BCE” nonsense. It literally ruins every episode where they try to force it.
  • Lil J25
    Pretty solid show
    It’s pretty decent show talks about a lot of things about history. It used to be more realistic when there were two hosts but still pretty good. I recommend listening to something you know about or interested before you start listening to other episodes. But thats just me.
  • Delwindris
    Love
    I love this podcast. I have gotten to the point that I don’t even read descriptions of the what the episode is about and just hit play. It has motivated me to look further in to some stuff. I highly recommend this podcast.
  • Kalgren
    Almost back to normal
    This was my number one show since the beginning, but I stopped listening for a little while when they changed formats. I am glad it is back to the original storytelling style, I just wish that Molly was still around.
  • MrobSp
    One of my favorite shows!
    I truly enjoy this podcast every time I listen. It’s fair, it’s interesting, it’s never fear-mongering and they never tell you what you should believe. I think they do an incredible job of presenting the facts and then allowing you to decide! Love it!
  • The OnionEaters
    No leaning. Just straight up good.
    After reading a few reviews I felt I had to throw in my 2¢. It’s neither conservative or liberal. Right or Left. Every episode is fair and most of all entertaining. These people complaining must be looking at their own failings (that is the inability to see both sides of a story) and apply that ignorance to the show. Is every single episode great? Of course not. There are only so many times you can talk about Jack the Ripper. Nearly everything has been said. But for the most part all the episodes have been at least 3 stars with most 4 stars. It’s just a good show. Ignore those idiots and listen to it. Judge for yourself.

    Good show!
    Very good listen!
  • ColbyDuyck
    Super fun listen
    Believe or not believe they are always a fun listen.
  • FoxyYip🎇🎆🌠🌌
    SO GREAT
    Carter Roy is amazing. I love listening to Conspiracy Theories while I relax and hang out. The show is well narrated, informative, and just all about awesome. Would recommend to all horror and true crime fans! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
  • AntoinetteFowler
    Used to be good
    It was good when it had two hosts.
  • zoiemama
    Where is my girl??
    I super loved this show while working retail receiving when there were two hosts, recently I’ve been listening again and notice that the woman has left?? And there seems to be no hint as to when or why she left on the podcast?? Super miss her bc she definitely carried the show a bit imo, especially when I listen now I know it could have better delivery or more balanced with the “believable” vs “unbelievable” stuff that they used to do when there were two people ;-;
  • Aspie84
    Revise Theiries
    I think in hindsight some of the theories need to be revised. In the light of where we are now post lockdowns, something’s deserve another look. I find this podcast to be one of the more interesting!
  • Cupcake sean
    Decent content but that voice
    I listened to a dozen or so episodes and then couldnt take it anymore. The narrators voice isnt right for this podcast. Decent content if you can
  • Cdre24???
    A Great Listen
    I’ve only listened to 3 episodes but I love this podcast! I love that it’s true historical mysteries but they’re told like a good work of fiction. A few more sensory details about place/setting would be a great addition because the ones I’ve listened to so far are set in the past and have elements taking place in foreign countries. Please keep making episodes.
  • Brando_Man
    Killdozer Episode was terrible.
    They definitely could have done better explaining both sides to the story. Therefore I am leaving a 3 star review.
  • RDM764
    Just ok
    The episodes about non political things are entertaining, but any episode that involves politics has a large left wing bias.
  • ginak22
    Interesting stories
    I Look forward to your podcast each week.
  • yoga.aha
    Way too right wing
    Is this show a platform for the racist ideology of t-Rump or what? I jest at those that think this show is, “liberal.” These are the same people that invaded or supported the invasion of our Capital and stand against democracy with a small d. Idiots. The program on Conspiracy theory is a well balanced look at the subject. This podcast is entertaining except when they try to create a feeling of suspense with the narrative of what the story is about, then the podcast becomes unbearably stupid and artificial. The Silk Road is not a new episode, please identify it as such when you post it more than once, neither is the Circleville episode. Stop! Your pants are on fire.
  • REALIITY SHIIFT
    Love it
    Love this podcast, I’ve already listened to almost all episodes at work. Just wish they would do some more modern conspiracies.
  • Jordanairre
    Propaganda
    As an ex-cop; these two are either ignorant of the laws, or deliberately misrepresenting it. Either way the result is very close to government propaganda.
  • dene113
    Mother in law for the win in Oz
    Matilda Joslyn Gage was a foremother of the suffragist movement, who encouraged Baum to write and publish his stories. She was written out of history by plagiarizing Susan B. Anthony and by Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s children, who removed important references to Gage from ECS’s autobiography. She was an abolitionist as well as feminist and she wrote the critical book, _ Women, Church and State_
  • Emichaelt
    Not what it used to be
    I loved previous episodes with both Carter and Molly but it’s not the same with only one person. Definitely need a second host. Bring Molly back!
  • ManosHarlem252
    I blame Spotify
    The show or maybe that company hasn’t been the same since Molly Brandonberg left , she compliments Carter perfectly and the lack of her voice and personality is evident, also I have been listening for a couple years now and the topics are starting to be repetitive, for example the recent rendlesham episode like how many times has parcast told that story? Maybe it’s just time for me to find a new show.
  • Haken1
    Waste of time
    Granted I listened to only three episodes but each was 30 minutes long with about 10 minutes of commercials.
  • f1-fan not taken
    It’s pretty good
    The latest episode with Taylor about constantly online was really bad. I literally don’t think they really talked about anything at all. She didn’t seem to be an expert on… anything. But other episodes are pretty good
  • StarSharon
    Fantastic podcast. I'm so glad you're back on Apple Podcast
    These stories are great. I love them. The episodes about Plum Island and Planned Obsolescence are my favorites. I could listen to Molly Brandenburg's voice all day. The stories are about mostly true 'conspiracy theories' and they are filled with interesting facts about the subject of each episode. They do throw in some far fetched theories which are entertaining. They add in facts to most of these to dispel them. When this show moved to Spotify a couple of years ago I was so sad to lose them but now they're back. Yay. UPDATE: I'm not a fan of The Conspiracy Theories Book Club...at least some of the authors don't interview well. The man that wrote a cook about crypto was terrible on the show,

    Taylor Lorenz is a joke of a journalist and a worse person.
  • Mitch_ell1006
    Great
    I love this show I listen to it every night
  • Eric Tansey
    Very fair and always exiting
    If you can’t handle the truth, get out of the kitchen. Super fun Podcast I love the fair takes and honest assessments.
  • xavier lg
    boring
    seems more about murder stories than conspiracy theories. also molly has a very voice and is hard to understand.
