I've been enjoying a couple conspiracy theory podcasts.

Tin Foil Hat: They take an Art Bell approach to conspiracies, they're more interested in exploring conspiracies, try to keep things pretty light and aren't very critical.



Those Conspiracy Guys: These guys take the deep dive into conspiracies, each podcast is usually between 4-7 hours long and has about 20-30 hours of research put into them. They spend a lot of time setting up historical context and sometimes only a small portion of the Podcast directly discusses the conspiracies. It's more historical than conspiratorial. After setting up context, they'll critically evaluate the likelihood of the theories being true.

In their Jim Morrison podcast, they spend most of it discussing his crazy life and just touch on the portions of his life that cross into conspiracy territory (27 club, Laurel Canyon and his father's involvement in the gulf of tonkin incident):

"Did you know Jim's dad was a Vice Admiral in the US navy and helped orchestrate the gulf of tonkin incident? It's like finding out Dick Cheney was Kurt Cobain's dad." (para-phrased)
