Queer Skepticism in a Conspiracy Age with Nathan Radke
This week, we’re joined by Nathan Radke, who is a professor, author, and co-host of The Uncover Up podcast and Alena’s colleague. Nathan helps us dive into what makes conspiracy theories so compelling and why they are everywhere right now. We also explore the surprising connections between conspiracy culture and the queer community, from historical persecution and coded communication to the fine line between healthy skepticism and harmful paranoia. Plus, we tackle the big questions: Why do conspiracy theories feel so satisfying? How do you talk to a loved one who’s deep in a rabbit hole? Are aliens real!? FIY: Canada's equivalent to the Stonewall riots occurred on February 5, 1981, when Toronto police raided four gay bathhouses in a coordinated operation known as Operation Soap. The mass arrests galvanized the LGBTQ2S+ community, resulting in mass protests that eventually laid the foundation for Toronto's annual Pride parade Music By: Sean Patrick Brennan @ayeayeayemusic
