Welcome to One of Us is Lying: the podcast where, well, one of us is lying. We'll be telling you historical stories, ridiculous conspiracy theories, or some deeply confusing combination of both. Listen while Jada & Kurtie bond over uncomfortable and bewildering facts about the past and confuse each other with homegrown fake news.
Every week one of us will be telling a true historical or present-day fact, and the other will be spinning a tale of a weirdly-convincing conspiracy theories. Keep listening to find out who was lying every week.
Thanks for tuning in!
- Jada & Kurtie
Kurtie and Jada remind each other why we started a podcast, and it’s definitely not because we know what we’re doing. Tune in this week to learn why you should definitely be importing your drinking water from Switzerland, or, if you’re in California the exotic land of Rhode Island.

3: Crowd Sourced Conspiracies
This week’s episode discusses how a competitive and well informed group of conspiracy theories have partnered with one of the early meme pioneers to see if bots could become influencers. And you know, a magic society.
Jada and Kurtie discuss mysticism, combining religions, and the use of visual cues in a podcast as a bad call. They all call into question whether or not some of your online favorites might just be bots.
