Conspiracy Consultants

About Conspiracy Consultants

Ever heard a conspiracy theory so wild you couldn’t help but ask - who’s pulling the strings, what would it take, and could anyone actually make it happen? Michelle has, and she’s bringing her sharp curiosity (and a guest) to find out. Each episode of The Conspiracy Consultants unpacks a different theory, testing its logic, logistics, and sheer audacity. It’s part thought experiment, part comedy, and all the fun of wondering “what if?” without needing a tinfoil hat. Follow us on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/conspiracyconsultants/) Hosted, researched and edited by Michelle Barnette, with scripting support by Anna Ryder Created and developed by Chris Harding for Whale Song Media (https://www.whalesongmedia.co.uk/) Music by Nicole Johnson (https://www.nicolejohnsonpianist.com/) Artwork by Luke Galloway for Space Face Films (https://www.spacefacefilms.com/) Hosted on Acast.

   Gravity is Vanishing with Jamie Macrae

   Michelle and Jamie tackle the TikTok theory that's got the internet convinced gravity is switching off on August 12th, 2026. For a full seven seconds. Led by Jamie, together they break down the "science" (94.7% accuracy, allegedly), work out which room in your house is safest (spoiler: bring a seatbelt to the bathroom), and pitch some questionable survival tech (Chinese finger traps?). There's also a highly necessary detour into how to make a fake statistic sound convincing, and why 33 is always more believable than 30. It might just save your life on August 12th. Probably not though. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

   Flouride is Poisoning Us with Jamie Macrae

   Fluoride, pasteurised milk, bottled water, vapes - if you wanted to control society using liquids, where would you even start? Michelle and Jamie take the long-running fear that “they’re putting something in the water” and run with it, unpacking how everyday substances became vessels for anxieties about government power, health, trust, and who gets blamed when things go wrong. With the groundwork laid, Jamie and Michelle shift from analysis to invention, designing a product they'd want to introduce to the market given half a chance and a budget. Hosted on Acast.
