Read about this in the paper the other day - need to give it a listen. Have been making my way through Jon Ronson's new podcast and that touches on QAnon (and I still very much recommend finding Q above too)

Will listening to pods about QAnon just make me more furious with how nuts people can be? I'm gonna listen to the BBC one (which one is the one you mention Tredman?) - but would like to be mentally prepared for it!

Yep, pretty much. Though I think its always good to try and understanding people's motives and the Finding Q podcast is good at that.

This is the one I started with:

Finding Q: My Journey into QAnon

Check out this great listen on Audible.com. Please note: this series contains adult themes, explicit language and references to child abuse and suicide. Listener discretion is advised. It started with an anonymous post in 2017. They called themselves 'Q' and left a trail of cryptic messages for...

Needs an audible subscription (they have tons of free offers though).

I think that's all they can do, I was watching a piece on Facebook about Alex Jones in Texas and I truly understand why they have the death penalty

This is a podcast as well as a YouTube channel so I think it qualifies to be here.

Lex Fridman has some fascinating guests on his podcast. I find him a great interviewer as he's incredibly intelligent himself so understands alot of the concepts more than a presenter on TV would.

Not sure what I think of Elon Musk as a person but I found this discussion absolutely fascinating, he's obviously a genius, probably on a par with Da Vinci when you consider the breadth of disciplines he's involved with.

Found his explanation of money as a database particularly interesting on this one. We really are so lucky nowadays that we can listen to long form conversations with the most interesting people of the time, historians jobs will be alot easier in the future.

This sounds brilliant and amazing to see the Serial team covering UK stories:

The Trojan Horse Affair

An unlikely duo chases down the origins of a mysterious letter that caused a national scandal.

Yep, its what prompted me to start this thread a long time ago

My sister helps run a podcast about unsolved mysteries and one of her co-hosts is from the West Midlands, apparently (near Worcester I think?). He definitely mentions that his brother lives near the Worcestershire Sauce factory.

No pressure on anyone of course! More for comedy than for actually solving things, but I like 'em (biased by my sister's presence, obv). They work very hard on it! (I'd recommend starting with the eps on the Dyatlov Pass incident). Or the Jan 10th ep about Vasili Arkhipov!

I am half way though this and it is excellent.

I was slightly concerned that listening to it might send me down a rabbit hole but it turns out I'm not bat shit crazy It is astounding (and a little frightening) how the whole theory managed to gain it's way into the mainstream although I suspect plenty of Q followers don't actually believe it (surely they can't??) they just use it as a way to attack the Clinton's/Democrats and promote Trump.

I am very much looking forward to listening to the last 4 episodes and will also have to check out the QAnon podcast that Tredman mentioned.
