Those Conspiracy Guys is an Irish comedy podcast where we discuss all types and genres of conspiracy theories, paranormal happenings and true crime from Atlantean myths to Zapruder films; from ghosts and demons to alien abductions; from werewolves and vampires to CIA assassins and Russian spies. We have a big episode every two weeks, a True Crime show every other week and loads of other stuff every so often and you can head over to the website for details.
Our aim is to cast a light into the dark corners of corruption, conspiracy and suppression. We want to scour a web laden with tales of political intrigue, extra-terrestrials, rogue governments, secret societies, the paranormal, murder, mayhem, deceit, destruction, the cryptozoological and the psycho-pharmacological and present the fable of the 21st century: The Conspiracy Theory.
It's a Podcast that asks the unanswered questions of the wildest mysteries and weirdest truths from throughout our history. Taking universally available information from all around the internet and beyond, we'll provide a funny and friendly resource for all your conspiracy needs.
With weekly Podcast episodes and our constantly updated website Those Conspiracy Guys want to bring some truth to your inquisitive ears.
No topic is too delicate or outlandish and we want to make it palatable for everyone from beginners to experts. From the average guy on the street to a die hard conspiracy nut, we want to bring you the great conspiracies of time immemorial to the ones unfolding around us everyday. We avoid the tinfoil hats and poorly crafted sci-fi stories that litter the internet, to bring you conspiracies that you have heard about and more that you haven’t.
We are gleaning information from a seemingly insurmountable wall of waffle and running our common sense detector over some of the misinformation that lies in the stagnant swamp of the web.
We are but 'humble' Irish people, with a propensity for critical thinking and common sense, and a host of friends with the same mindset, but we all have a third eye squinted open for the strangeness of truth and are all tireless in the never ending quest for the opportunity to have the craic.
Have you ever watched the news and thought ‘that doesn’t look right?’.
Have you ever questioned main stream media or questioned what ‘main stream’ even means?
Have you ever agonised over the official version of events that seemed like they were the script of a bad movie?
Then this is the podcast for you. We analyse easily available material and cast a critical eye over it; discussing the validity of its sources and its credibility as fact. Sometimes we believe it, sometimes we don’t, but you can make your own mind up because we are just a bunch of people with some free time and questionable search histories.

Charlie Manson: Revisited
On this episode we talk about one of the most notorious men in modern history; a dude whose simple and crazy face is synonymous with manipulation, mind control and murder; whose idea of family will have you thinking twice about complaining about going home for thanksgiving this year; this time we are chatting about the one and only Charlie Manson.
This is a revisited episode on this topic with about 10 years in between; I wanted to give the fantastic source material a fresh outlook and using my more modernised and thorough process and higher quality treatment in the new TCG regime. Not only that but new revelations in the case itself; new media, documentaries and information about Charlie and his family members; recent prisoner releases and even a new book called Chaos written by Tom O'Neill have been released in the mean time.
We discuss Charlies rotten upbringing and his almost ubiquitous incarceration up until the age of 20 for various crimes and the psychological toll this must have taken on his psyche. This semi-permanent incarceration would also give ample opportunity to practice his innate and effective ability for persuasion and manipulation; as well as condition him to do 'what ever it takes' to get the job done.
Charlie was a cultural figurehead of the 1960s hippy movement, and some say he was the bell that rang out in its last dying days to signal the end of the Free Love era. His notorious family, which at one time included famous rock stars and celebrities, were a raggle taggle gaggle of drug addled ne'erdowells whom Charlie gathered up through emotional manipulation. This crowd of crusties eventually became responsible for the deaths of 9 people in a murder spree that shook the US and Hollywood elite in particular.
Great conversations in this one with Danny and Micky and we chat about everything from how Charlie learned to meddle with minds; to the allusions by experts that he, among others in the movement, was a government agent working to destroy the cultural resistance in California to maintain status quo and military complex supremacy in the face of an escalating war. There are also rumours and conjecture that the acid and drugs the family consumed and distributed were 'military grade' and their motives and image were anything but authentic. Good times! :) Its good to be back, thanks for your patience and enjoy the show :)

The Salem Witch Trials
DEEP DIVE -
On this episode we discuss one of histories most enduring mysteries where accusations flew and farcical trials condemned many young women to death in the name of religious purity which was disguising political subterfuge and using fear of the unknown as a tool of control; this one is all about The Salem Witch Trials.
In 17th Century Massachusetts newly settled puritans began a campaign of accusations against potential witches in their community. Largely led by the testimonies of young girls against other young girls, this crusade against the forces of darkness was a thinly veiled attempt to gain control of a newly emerging civilisation in a new country.
There are many theories as to why the girls acted as they did, and mass psychosis and even hallucinogenic poisoning are cited as the cause of these frivolous and deadly claims. We discuss it all and a whole lot more.

Randy Kraft - The Scorecard Killer
On this episode we talk about one of the most prolific and brutal killers in US history and a guy who got his moniker The Scorecard Killer from a macabre list of nicknames he had for his many victims; this episode is all about Randy Kraft.
Joining me on this episode is comedian Ger Staunton; international comedy powerhouse and fellow Mayo man :) Ger and I discuss these heinous crimes and what drives someone to commit such horrific sexual attacks on so many young men.
Kraft operated in the prolific serial killer atmosphere of the 70s and 80s where it seemed all bets were off for catching murderers. There is estimates of up to 70 victims that Kraft cruelly dispatched but he was only found guilty for very few of these; and we discuss the ones we know about here.
Acknowledgment to Murder, Murder, Murder (dot) com and Dennis McDougal author of Angel of Darkness for the nitty gritty on this one. Not a whole lot else online on this fella but both of these sources nail it pretty well.
If you want to find Ger online he is @gerstaunton on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/gerstaunton/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/gerstaunton) or listen to his podcast with Martin Angolo called 'Canary in a Comedy Goldmine' which you can find here http://canaryinacomedygoldmine.com/

Tin Foil Hat with Sam Tripoli - April 2023
SWAPCAST -
On this episode I join Sam Tripoli, XG and Johnny on the infamous Tin Foil Hat to chat about the state of 'conspiracy theories'; what mad stuff is going on in the world right now; how hard it is having a head going around the place and a bunch of other contemporary conspiracy topics. We also talk about the recent TCG Rothschild episode and all the shenanigans that entails.
There's a big ol' intro on the front of this one too, because it's been a while! If you want to skip to 00:08:10 for the start of the show instead of listening to me :) This was a great episode and I got to ask Sam some of the questions Ive been wondering about. The world looks and feels like a really weird place right now (Jerry Springer is dead) but maybe it only feels like that.
There's a bunch more episodes coming now including deep dives, interviews, swapcasts and a new season 9 starting recording in the next couple of weeks. The new website is almost fully up and running too if you want to check that out http://www.thoseconspiracyguys.com
Hope you are all doing great and enjoy the show!

The Rothschild Dynasty
DEEP DIVE -
On this episode we discuss The Rothschild Dynasty and the beginning to one of the most powerful and covertly influential dynastic families in modern civilisation. From the Jewish ghettos of 18th century Frankfurt to seats at the most clandestine and unimaginably powerful boardroom tables in the modern day; the Rothschild family and their immeasurable wealth has had a secret hand in the shaping of our society and, undoubtedly, a huge influence on the future of humanity.
In this episode I wanted to stay away from the inevitable global elite chat and give a factual and cultural history of the Rothschild family and how it all started with the patriarch Mayer Amschel Rothschild. We discuss how his shrewd business dealings and his willingness to do work others wouldn't; made him amounts of money some of us cant even fathom.
Joining me on this episode are two proper mensches Shane Brown and Tom O'Mahony for the mad craic and lacht. I really hope you enjoy this one and there will be more shows, much sooner than this one came; now that I have my head screwed back on!

Michael Barrymore
On this episode we discuss one of the most famous and contentious true crime cases this century; the death of Stuart Lubbock. Now this case is still unsolved and in the UK and Ireland it was a huge deal and was covered incessantly by the news and tabloid media because of the association with celebrity tv personality and comedian Michael Barrymore. Lubbock died in the swimming pool of Barrymore's house after a drink and drug fuelled night out in the local nightclub but, as yet, the killer or killers havn't been brought to justice.
The nature of Stuart's death has led the public to believe (with the help of the ghoulish reporting of the tabloids) that this was some sort of gay orgy gone wrong or some other sort of violent sexual death. The injuries Stuart Lubbock sustained were severe and undeniably sexual in nature but the focus was not really on finding actual justice for Stuart; it was on Michael Barrymore himself and it was front page news for weeks, months and years.
Michael Barrymore shocked a fairly conservative nation when he came out in 1995 and was, for the most part, loved and adored for who he was and for his wonderful ability to entertain rather than his sexual orientation. His career skyrocketed and he had the highest watched TV shows in the country. This gay lifestyle and the unconscious bias and uninformed rumour of LGBT sexual practice among the wider members of society at the time was then used against him in the salacious and macabre reporting of Stuart Lubbock's death by TV and Newspapers. Even after all this reporting and attention, The Lubbock family still seek justice and Terry, Stuart's father, took up a very public campaign, against Barrymore personally, to find answers about his sons death.
A Channel 4 documentary called 'Barrymore: The Body in The Pool' from 2020 revisits and details all the facts and details about the case and while we can infer who possibly could have had a hand in the violent death of Stuart Lubbock at that party that terrible night; we regrettably cannot say for certain. What we can say is; a beloved and talented celebrity had his career and reputation irreparably destroyed and was the subject of a relentless tabloid media news cycle about this case which fascinated the nation for nearly two decades.
This show has some honest and serious chat in it about Barrymore and our memories of the case and the reporting from the time and I would love to talk more about this case to anyone who is willing to join a LiveChat and discuss (that includes you Michael if you're listening!)
Joining me on this episode is actor and comedian Patser Murray. You can find Patser on his website https://www.patsermurraycomedy.com/ and he is gigging all over the country on the regular.

Pizzagate
On this episode we talk about one of the most contentious and censoriously restricted topics on the internet; admittedly on an extremely dark subject with many many potentially litigiously vulnerable points but something that has been misinterpreted, covered up and in a real sense, the true factual details forgotten about online; this one is all about Pizzagate.
From the Podesta email leak and Anthony Weiners laptop showing Hillary up to be a bold pup; to a popular internet generated rumour of a blood drinking death cult and a lad driving hundreds of miles to shoot up a pizza place because of someones instagram content; this episode is pretty wild to be honest! There is so much stuff about Pizzagate that can be dismissed an noncesense and yet, so much of it is observable and real, but wholly ignored by mainstream media and disavowed and not believed by the general public.
This episode is about the Pizzagate incident itself and the build up and immediate aftermath so no real chat about Epstein or even the newly popular Balenciaga scandal, but I hope this to be the full and frank account of what happened and what was exposed in those weird few months before and just after the 2016 election when it came to top level elites being accused of child endangerment (and the rest!) We examine the facts; discuss the rumours, disempower the propaganda and, even though the subject in abjectly dark and horrible, have a few laughs too!

The Menendez Brothers
TRUE CRIME -
On this episode we discuss a harrowing case of abuse and revenge; two brothers who killed their parents in a brutal and meticulously premeditated manner were paraded across the mainstream media as cold hearted killers. During the televised case however, the extent of the sexual and psychological abuse they suffered was described in sickening detail and the motivations for their actions became that much more murkily motivated. This time we are talking about The Menendez Brothers.
Raised in an affluent California family, Lyle and Erik Menendez were what some would call privileged; but their upbringing was anything but idyllic. Their father Jose and mother Kitty were successful but cruel, and the very thing that made the brothers a success was the thing they despised. Verbal and psychical abuse was meeted out on them from both parents and when they finally snapped and killed them both in a shotgun bloodbath, the world looked on with disgust.
Lawyer Leslie Abramson, who advocated for the boys in court during their lengthy televised trial, was visibly appalled and angered at the abuse they suffered. This 1993/1994 trial called more witnesses than any other murder trial in history and ended up with no satisfying solution; going to another trial which led to the conviction of the two brothers who still reside in prison. A very strange and sad case that deserves discussion; not least to shine a light on the victims of domestic and sexual abuse; but on the voyeuristic and cruel nature of modern mainstream media.

Rasputin and The Romanovs
On this episode we discuss one of the most maligned and mysterious figures from modern history; a man who is as famous for his death as for his life, and someone like him would put the willies up anyone in power because he was an uncontrollable and unpredictable force; this episode is all about Rasputin.
Shambling into St Petersburg from the Siberian countryside in the early days of the 20th century; is how most people would view the tale of Rasputin; but the truth is often stranger. As part of a campaign of popularity and spectacle in a turn of the century royal socialite influencer class, Rasputin was invited to the royal court as part of some sort of esoteric oddity and was so charming he managed to become one of the Tsarinas closest advisors.
Rasputins massive shlong and love making prowess is also part of the legend and this, along with his unroyal blood made the movers and shakers in Romanov controlled Russia quite nervous. Rasputin was rumoured to be utterly debauched and his strange unkempt appearance, his uncouth charm and his loose morals meant that he was a threat to the status quo.
The legendary tale of the assassination of Rasputin probably over shadows anything he did in life and is itself wrought with rumour and inconsistency. Murdered by jealous royal in-laws, Rasputin's legend endures and we go deep and long on it for this episode!

The Keepers - The Death of Cathy Cesnik
On this episode the wonderful Claire joins me to talk about the horrible case of the death of Cathy Cesnik and the abuse that Fr Joseph Maskell doled out on the girls of Keough High School in Baltimore as detailed in the Netflix documentary series The Keepers.
This is a rough one and we dive deep into the personalities involved including the two investigators Abbie Schaub and Gemma Hoskins who hounded law enforcement for documents pertaining to the case as well as doing emotionally harrowing interviews with some of the women involved.
We also meet Jean Werner and Teresa Lancaster who were the original accusers of Maskell. We also meet Gerry Koob and a host of other weird and inexplicably uninformed characters as we try to unravel the details of the case.
Cathy's body was found in the first days of 1970 and it sparked an investigation into the cruel and methodical abuse that Maskell was a ring leader of, in Keough High School among other spots all around Baltimore in the 1960s. This case goes all the way to the top; with police and other pillars of the community seemingly caught up in the accusations.

Operation Mockingbird
On this episode we discuss the silent machine behind the worlds media; the clandestine manipulation of your reality and the obfuscation of the real world around us through the content we consume; the news we trust and the moulded attitudes of our friends and loved ones. An operation so grand in its complexity and execution that it is as easily identifiable as it is deniable; Operation Mockingbird
Post war propagandists and government manipulators took the forty years after World War Two and used it to lock down, up and coming student journalists and people of burgeoning influence in the media to disseminate and proliferate their political, ideological and materialistic agendas. The advent of the ubiquitous online media landscape in the past few decades and the explosion of online content creators; some with bigger followings than main stream media at this stage; were all targeted and swept up in this media manipulation machine.
We discuss this and lots more including the Hollywood agenda; social media fact checkers; The Church Committee and we try to reason why a government would try to do this to their own people and how the rest of the world took it on like it was cool!

Chris Watts
On this episode we discuss this horrible human being, Chris Watts, and his cowardly and brutal murder of his wife and two young kids with super-guest: comedy powerhouse and the undisputed heavy weight champion of the comedic arts Colin Geddis.
The discussions and opinions on this episode will definitely be controversial as we try to understand the motivations behind such a crime; we also look deeper into the famous documentary American Murder: The Family Next Door and discuss all the info that was conveniently left out of it.
This guy is a POS, no doubt; but the circumstances around this crime shocked so many because it was so surprising to all who knew the Watts Family. Underlying issues plagued this couple including money, toxic family ties and infidelity all played a part in this very very sad case.
Joining me for these excellent and thought provoking discussions is hilarious Northman Colin Geddis; who you may have heard about from his recent support slots with Kevin Hart here in Ireland! He also has a massive following here for not only his own comedy and the magnificent comedy club in Belfast "Lavery's", but for his podcast 'General Banter' which is available on Patreon too! I do give a fair amount of props in the show so Ill refrain from licking his arse any further on the episode description :)

Israel Keyes
On this episode comedian Tom O'Mahony joins me to talk about one of the best kept secrets in modern True Crime; the man with a thousand murder buckets and an unpredictable and seemingly uncontainable serial scourge on the entirety of the US; Israel Keyes.
Growing up as a Mormon in a massive family can mess with the best of us but Israel took it that step further and his cultish childhood led to a deeply troubled adolescence with gangs of killer criminals as close friends and ideation of terrorist and brutal racist crimes all through his teenage years.
Israel was most famous for his 'Murder Kits' which were buried boxes or buckets filled with lethal paraphernalia to commit his crimes. He travelled too; like, a lot! Originally from Alaska he flew into US cities for work and would drive thousands of miles in short periods of time to throw law enforcement off the scent.
His final sloppy crimes and his interviews, dripping with yearning for infamy, have made him a wee bit famous but, as I see it, not as famous as he should be for a serial killer who has been in operation in just the last 20 years!
An awesome show here for you with comedian Tom O'Mahony whose show Buckshot you can listen to at any stage; with hundreds of shows online right now with interviews with all the good and great from Irish popular culture and beyond! Here he is on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tomomahonybuckshot and you can find his social media from here: https://linktr.ee/Tomomahony

Barry Seal and The CIA Enterprise
On this episode we talk about one of the most dramatically interconnected men in conspiracy lore; a man who had more fingers in more pies than Mr Kipling and who was responsible for more rock than Dwayne Johnson. The king of cocaine and the reason anyone had something to toot throughout the 70s and 80s in America; this episode we are talking about Barry Seal.
You may have heard of Barry from the 2017 Tom Cruise movie 'American Made'; but he is much more than some haphazard drug mule that was coopted by the CIA for nefarious black ops; he was a tour de force as an aviator and, so it transpired, as an international arms and drugs dealer. He dealt with the top tier of both sides from Pablo Escobar to George HW Bush and operated at a level where Presidents and State Governors knew him by name (and even got him off a few crimes now and then)
His ultimately death is still a mystery; like, we know who shot him but the real question is WHY? Barry was so deep into so many dark corners of what we now call the Deep State operations and was a cash cow with the cocaine and arms dealing that he probably has a dossier as tall as the twin towers on all the movers and shakers behind the scenes.
In this episode we talk about all this and more with comedians Gerry McBride and Damian Clark. You know Gerry from the episode on Chris Benoit and Damian joined my for the Port Arthur Massacre episode. Laughs and facts all through this one and there are loads more to come!

Dean Corll - The Candyman
On this episode we talk about the man who made parents everywhere afraid that a man in a van will come and take away your children; Texas Serial killer, child murderer and all round very bad man, Dean Corll.
Killer of up to (and probably more than) 28 young men Dean Corll was the scourge of Heuston Heights in Texas and was so cruel in his murders that the moniker of Candy Man was given to him. Using what was known as 'The Murder Board' Dean tortured, molested and killed these lads between the ages of 13 and 20 in the late 60s and early 70s.
With two willing accomplices, both very young men themselves, Elmer Wayne Henley and David Brooks; Dean would kill and then almost openly bury their bodies in holes he was seen digging for almost his entire adolescence. No really, he loved digging holes!
Joining me for this very dark journey is comedian Andrew Gilmore. If you want to find Andrew you can find him on Twitter here https://twitter.com/Andrewcomedy

Nora Koppel - The Hinterkaifek Murders
On this episode I interview Nora Koppel, daughter of Hinterkaifek expert Adolf Koppel, all about the facts of the case as proven by the investigations of her father. Dolf wrote the book Lerchenstimme (The Lark's Song) and book in German about The Hinterkaifek Murders and he claims to have proof of what happened to the Gruber Family on those fateful days 100 years ago at Hinterkaifek.
Dolf recreated weapons, made moulds of wounds and combed through the 100 year old evidence to bring this case back to life and try to get it solved. We already went through the details of this case a while back; but this new set of information and the 100 year anniversary makes it a lovely revisit with Nora. We have the craic and I feel like a silly goose at times with my crazy guess work from the last episode; but with two books (one narrative and one evidence based) and a stage play coming up in June; this case is definitely getting a reinvigoration of interest. Be the first to know 'auf Englisch' what's really going on at Hinterkaifek.

The Mystery of The Pyramids
On this episode we casually hold our hand over our brow as we inquisitively stare into the glare of the midday sun; searching for an ancient truth in a barren land and uncovering possibly the ultimate mysteries of our creation, our civilisation and the nature of our planet in this episode all about The Mystery of the Pyramids.
From the classic pyramid on the Giza plateau in Egypt to the buried pyramids under the lush undulating hills of Bosnia, the wide sprawling once thriving civilisations in deepest South American jungles or the diligently preserved and revered monasteries and holy structures in Asia; the pyramid has endured as a symbol of a time that came before and a way of life for humanity that has been forgotten.
These fantastic structures have withstood the test of time; of war, greed, and wanton destruction; only to leave behind a mystery that is almost unfathomable. The clues found in these wonders of the world, are the steps closer we desperately want to take in fully understand where we can from and what our purpose is. Clues like the sacred geometry found in the great pyramid of Khufu; or the ancient carvings on walls long left untouched by human hands.
These mega structures are found all over the globe and they hold great significance to our current age by communicating through the universal language of mathematics and showing us that a once presumed primitive people, were actually much more advanced than ever thought possible. With measurements that depict the astrological distances of the sun, moon and stars and even some other very complicated scientific concepts; these megalithic measurement markers are a definite proof of the existence of ancient civilisations much more advanced that we thought.
More mysterious still are the newly minted concepts of an even more ancient civilisation than the Egyptians, who created the pyramids and the thriving civilisations that built them. The Giza pyramids and The Sphinx showing signs of a much older creation date; mean that there is a hidden history of the human species and the power that these ancient people created is still present in our modern world.

Project Blue Beam
On this episode we cast our eyes skyward and prepare for the end times as we discuss the seemingly inevitable extra terrestrial invasion scenario that was famously predicted by a Canadian journalist and now fabled conspiracy theories Serge Monast known as Project Blue Beam
Blue Beam began its round in the public discourse after a 1994 article was written by the infamous Serge Monast and hit hard on the now 'alien abduction obsessed' public in the early 90s. The X-Files and other massively popular ET based shows made Monast's predictions of a fake alien invasion and global control mechanisms much more palatable to the general public
Blue Beam itself, even until very recently, was also conspiracy pie in the sky; but now a plan to show a holographic projection of everyones personal deity in the sky with an individualised message for every human on earth using futuristic technology and, as Monast put it, a giant soviet computer with a log of all our thoughts on it; doest seem so far fetched anymore.
Other global catastrophes come with Blue Beam invasions like earthquakes, the finding of ancient artefacts; maybe under melting ice blocks, economic collapse, discovery of children kept for sexual slavery and a tumultuous political environment peaking with earth wide civil unrest would all be the heralding circumstances of this alien visitation.
A New Age Religion will be made and will be the backbone of this New World Order under the alien overlords instructions; some may say we are already pre-programmed for this type of event through media and the recent events of the last few years. Devout adherence to the policies and ethical code of certain political parties transcend the solely and traditionally religious dogma and mean a more socially compliant and mentally malleable populous using the old tools of religious ideology and control.
With UFO knowledge and disclosure at a high, at least in this civilisation, and even the CIA publicly declaring the existence of UFOs; the appearance of another species to 'save us from ourselves' is also not that far fetched. Werner Von Braun the famous Nazi rocket man turned NASA head boy warned of a secret plot by the nefarious powers that be and called it his last card. On his death bed he warned of a plan to turn man against man with the ultimate goal of total control. Could this be it?

The Murder of Mark Kilroy
On this episode we talk about one of the darkest and torture laden murders that has ever graced the mics at TCG Towers; this episode is the gory tale of a satanic drug dealing cults inhuman efforts to kidnap, torture, and then gruesomely murder American tourist Mark Kilroy. Dark, this one gets dark!
Mark Kilroy was a catholic student who went to Texas State and one Spring Break went to Brownsville with a small stop over the border in Matamoros. This was the last trip for Mark as he was snatched up by the gang of Adolfo Costanzo; a cult leader and dark religious practitioner. They performed sick and twisted rituals on Mark until his death and then led the authorities on chase which ended in a siege.
Crazy stuff in this one; and joining me on the morose but still somehow hilarious journey is comedian Stephen Bradley. Stephen is one of the founders of MOB Theatre Dublin and is a fantastic improviser, writer, comedian and lovely man. We do go off on a lot of pop culture tangents in this one; but you can choose to see it as a bit of levity to dilute the awfulness of the details of this story.
If you want to find Stephen and ply his wares you can find him on Instagram here: http://www.instagram.com/stephen_bradley66 or his theatre company here: http://www.instagram.com/mobtheatredublin and you can find out all about the classes and shows for MOB Theatre on their website http://www.mobtheatre.ie. Stephen also joined me for the Mystery of the Pyramids episode and I hope to see him as a recurring guest in future shows, so go show him some love!

Robert Berchtold
On this episode comedian Ailish McCarthy joins me to discuss the case made famous by the documentary 'Abducted in Plain Sight' and one of the most egregious cases of manipulation that you can find; the case of Robert Berchtold and Jan Broberg.
Infiltrating and then sexually intoxicating a whole family of Mormons called The Brobergs, Berchtold was able to wrestle away the control of their daughter Jan and end up co-habiting with the family as he continued his deep psychological control campaign.
Abducting Jan on multiple occasions and ultimately holding her hostage in Mexico until the FBI were involved should have been the end of him and his depraved mission; but the hooks were too deep however as The Brobergs became even more entwined in Berchtolds web of deceit, psychological authority and sexual control.
Its such a crazy story that to give more details here would ruin it a bit, so just dive in and enjoy!
Ailish is great craic on this episode and you can find her on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/thesleepycomedian/ contrary to the handle she calls out in the episode! Its been changed since :) She also has a podcast called The Party T*ts and you can find that here https://youtube.com/channel/UC5T2_PYEFwy9nwTQCv8nv4Q or here https://www.ko-fi.com/ptpod or you can find her own comedy channel on Youtube here https://youtube.com/channel/UCOItbrUth4KRb-hAsUrj0Tw

Vampires
DEEP DIVE
On this episode we discuss one of the most enduring and visceral myths in humanities history; dating from ancient civilisations; even mentioned in the bible and other ancient religious texts and recognised all the way up to many modern media masterpieces; the concept of the bloodsucking prince of the night still holds a strong sentiment in all our hearts so this time we are talking about Vampires.
From tales of forlorn lovers and rich aristocrats draining yearning wenches of their blood, to monsters exsanguinating all and sundry in remote villages and sleepy town in Eastern Europe the lore of the vampire mythos endures for centuries. It is most well known today by the foppish and romantically charged stories of teenage vampire heartthrobs but the Vampire is a deep rooted image of the dissuasion of common folk to give in to their animalistic urges and as a stark health warning designed to be preserved in the minds of men, protecting from disease and poison of the blood and bloodlines.
While Vampires seem wholly unbelievable in their dark magic roots, there are many tales of very real men who would behave as these monsters reputedly do. Serial Killers, Murderers, Madmen and Tyrant Kings, all carry the title of Vampire for their dark deeds and fascination with blood. From biblical tales like Lilith to real historical figures like Vlad the Impaler the vampire myth is deeply interwoven into our collective subconscious and often mixed in with a very tangible part of human nature not all of us are willing to admit we identify so closely with.

David Koresh and The Waco Massacre
DEEP DIVE -
On this episode we talk about an event that arguably changed America forever; destroyed the perceptions of law enforcement for anyone that witnessed this event on mainstream media; and irredeemably erased at least some of the faith that Americans held dearly when it came to constitutionally held aspects of the US culture like freedom and security; this time we are talking about David Koresh and The Waco Massacre.
In 1993 in Waco Texas the ATF and FBI initiated a sting on a Branch Davidian compound which resulted in a fire fight and a 51 day siege which ultimately led to the deaths of the 79 members of the so-called cult and their leader David Koresh. Investigations into the ethics and execution of these government agency order went on all through the 90s at a congressional level, but these agencies never saw justice.
Koresh and his followers were killed by the US Government; this was on suspicion of child abuse, drug production and illegal arms sale and stockpiling. Many think that these charges were trumped up and that a community like this couldn't be allowed to exist in the United States.

Ian Huntley
TRUE CRIME - On this episode we talk about one of the most tragic and seemingly preventable crimes to rock the UK in the past 30 years; a short lived but unbelievable mystery of a killer who tried to famously help police and, through media interviews, cemented his own undoing; this time we are talking about Ian Huntley.Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman; two young girls from Soham in East Cambridgeshire, England were abducted and murdered by Huntley and he then brazenly went on to try to help to solve the case. He and his girlfriend willingly gave interviews to the press and were very forthcoming with advice and musings on what may have happened to the girls.In the time the authorities were still searching for their killer, the relentlessly reported search for their bodies, indelibly etched images of sniffer dogs, line of police searching through countryside fields and those two infamous Man Utd football jerseys, on the minds of everyone old enough to know what was going on.Radio presenter Keith Ward joins me on this episode and we catch up on the good times I spent being a guest on his FM104 PhoneShow back in the day :) We also get deep on this one about what its like to try to stand up to someone being publicly suspicious around kids and why on earth the authorities didnt do something about Ian Huntley when the alarm bells were ringing and they had the chance._____________________Live UK and Ireland stage shows October 2021 and January 2022Dublin - London - Manchester - Birmingham - Newcastle - Glasgow- LiverpoolGalway 22nd August I join Tom O Mahony for the 200 episode Live Special of his Buckshot Podcast in 'The Grand Auld Stretch' in Nimmo's Pier, Galway Sunday 22nd Aug 7pmBuy your tickets now before they are gone - click here http://www.taplink.cc/thoseconspiracyguys_____________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.

The Montauk Project Revisited
DEEP DIVE - On this episode we revisit an old topic and give it a new perspective; a classic conspiracy and one that still splits conspiracy theorists down the middle when it comes to its voracity, the players involved and the legitimacy of their claims. With huge names in conspiracy come even grander tales of time travel, body swapping, psychic powers and more as this time we revisit The Montauk Project Al Beilek, Preston Nicholls and Duncan Cameron; the veritable three amigos of contemporary conspiracy lore, all shine in this story of mind control stations, abducted gifted children, underground bases and conjured monsters. At Montauk, Long Island at a spot called Camp Hero lies a radar array that when utilised in the correct manner can send out orgone energy from gifted kids to manipulate the minds of the masses.Sounding like Stranger Things? Yeah thats because it a big inspiration and the story gets even crazier from there; with Al Beilek darting back and forth across the sacred timeline and Duncan Cameron talking about conjuring a demogorgon from an alien tech mind chair! Madness, but great craic. We dove deep on this one and revisit older topics like The Philadelphia Experiment, to give a full context on the events surrounding The Montauk Project_____________________Joining me on this episode are Neil Rochford and Eamonn O'Neill. You can find Neil here @NeilRochford on Twitter and you can buy his Montauk Project adjacent paranormal crime thriller 'The Blue Ridge Project' here http://neiltr.com/gravity-landing/the-blue-ridge-project/ and Im sure if you gave him a follow and a DM there could be a deal done for the price of it :)You can find Eamonn over at his own podcast called "Monster Fuzz" where he and Rob chop it up over monsters, ghosts, ghoulies and all manner of strange stuff!

Dennis Nilsen
TRUE CRIME - On this episode Tom O Mahony joins me to chat about one sick pup; known as the Kindly Killer and one of the creepiest the UK can produce, Dennis Nilsen; a former policeman and army private, murdered an unknown amount of young men in his London homes in the 70s and 80s. Nilsen is thought to have killed up to twenty homeless and homosexual men after luring them to his various apartments, killing them and burying the bodies under floorboards.It was also discovered that Dennis Nilsen was partially a cannibal and he kept the dead bodies of his victims as 'company'. Nilsen is renowned for being one of the weirdest killers on any true crime list because his peccadillo was talcing the dead men and watching TV with them, and then eventually boiling their bodies and flushing them down the toilet; which became his eventual undoing.The reason we know so much about Nilsen, his methods and his motivation is because he was more than forthcoming with the information in interviews after his arrest. How much of this can be believed is up to you; but the detail he goes into is reminiscent of other famous murderers. Dennis Nilsen is portrayed by David Tennant in the TV series 'Des' where a lot of these details went into the production._____________________Joining me on this show is comedian, actor and podcaster Tom O'Mahony.

Aileen Wournos
TRUE CRIME - On this episode we talk about Americas first female serial killer and one of the most tragic stories of abuse and poverty you can imagine; this is Aileen Wournos. From the most dysfunctional and abusive upbringing, Aileen dragged herself out of her hometown and hitch hiked across America, partaking in loads of anti social behaviour; arrests; crimes and selling her body along the way. Aileen's behaviour escalated and she began to take some sort of deadly revenge against the men who abused her and began killing her clients. She began a seemingly loving relationship with a woman and the cycle of murder, larceny, and fraud started in earnest. This is a story of someone who fell into a life that they couldnt escape and it eventually swallowed them entirely! Arrested, tried and eventually executed Aileen Wournos is a harrowing tale of a wretched unfortunate soul who ended up being documented by film makers and immortalised as a tragic case of inescapable circumstance. We talk about this; what drove her to these crimes; her history and the proceedings of her case; and the sociological theories behind someone in her unenviable position. ________________________Joining me on this episode is comedian and academic in sociology Grainne McKeever and you can find her online here http://www.twitter.com/grainnemckeever and you can watch her Ted Talk here https://youtu.be/g91vop8aSik________________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.

Bob Marley
DEEP DIVE - On this episode we discuss arguably the most famous musician to have ever lived; a man who not only pioneered a music but a movement and while preaching a message of peace through his songs, was repeatedly violently attacked and tragically died before his time; Bob Marley.From a meagre start in the streets of Trenchtown, Jamaica to the dizzy heights of international super stardom, Bob Marley wanted to do more than just sing songs and make money. His mission was to heal through music, to heal what hurts the soul and to heal a broken system that was the cause of the suffering of so many. In this endeavour he made some powerful friends and equally powerful enemies and attempts on his life caused him to have to leave Jamaica. Bob Marley's music and meaning still endure today, as moving and poignant as it ever was. His death, however tragic and untimely, has also been alleged to have been a further plot to silence his powerful voice. ________________________Joining me on this episode are Edwin Sammon and Emmet Quinn.

Peter Stumpp
TRUE CRIME - On this episode we go all the way back to the 16th century to chat about a real sick puppy; The Werewolf of Bedburg, Peter Stumpp. An occult document details the story of Peter Stumpp and his despicable misdeeds such as killing and eating women and children and loads of other depraved animalistic satanic stuff.Stumpp apparently made a deal with the devil for the enviable power to turn into a wolf man at will and commit these atrocities. He was found guilty and put on trial; but we discuss the legitimacy of these legal proceedings and whether this was a hysterical monster manifestation to temporarily quell the tsunami of spiritual suspicion in Germany at the time.________________________Joining me on this episode is actor and comedian Tony Cantwell who has multiple podcasts on the go including 'Tony Cantwell's HitShow' and the cryptozoological comedy podcast 'Sexy Beasts'.

The Port Arthur Massacre
TRUE CRIME -
On this episode we talk about the catalyst for disarming the Australian population and an event that was so destructive to society at the time; it is used as the yard stick to measure the severity of all mass shootings until just very recently; this time we are talking about Martin Bryant and The Port Arthur Massacre.
Port Arthur was a mass shooting perpetrated by one Martin Bryant in April 1996 where 25 people were wounded and 35 people killed at the hands of Bryant and a variety of firearms and other methods. Bryant was a local oddball and a very wealthy man but was of 'diminished capacity' according to locals.
A chequered upbringing and early life, mixed with some convenient accidents and suspicious deaths of wealthy close friends of Bryant's; paints a picture of a ruthless man who would kill to get what he wanted. But the truth is far from this simple and clean cut.
Accusations abound of US and Israeli military personnel carrying out the shooting and the whole operation being a false flag in order to trigger the national disdain for guns and their supported abolition in Australia from the mid 90s onward. Some other very interesting twists and turns in this case make these accusations and conspiracy rumours actually seem plausible.

Malcolm X
DEEP DIVE - On this episode we discuss one of the most quoted and revered civil rights leaders of all time; a man whose ideological journey is sometimes truncated to serve political purposes; a man who the term 'died before his time' was created for; Malcolm X.Born Malcolm Little to a family of meagre means he grew to become one of the heads of the black nationalist organisation known as The Nation of Islam. With this vast and popular platform and a lifetime of prejudice encouraged by the teachings of black leaders like Marcus Garvey; Malcolm enthralled thousands of Black Americans with his rhetoric.But circumstances and allegiances changed quite quickly for Malcolm and with the interference of the CIA and FBI as well as sedition within his own organisation; Malcolm was marked for death as a figure that was just too popular and powerful to live. He died by the hands of assassins, former friends and colleagues and his passing left a sinister mark on the record of American Civil Rights. His life and teachings however are still discussed, taught and applauded in many different ideological circles. We talk about the man and his growth, his beginning and his end. A life well lived and ended too soon._______________________I am joined on this episode by Emmet Quinn and Gary Lynch.

Greg Carlwood - The Higherside Chats
INTERVIEW - On this episode I chat with podcast legend Greg Carlwood from the mighty Higherside Chats and we get into it about current events including the rona and the coming vax issues facing our society; the election (which was upcoming at the time of recording); and where the US is heading in this current binary bipartisan and diametrically opposed culture we seem to find ourselves in. Greg has researched and then spoken to some of the finest minds of our time and his show is unreal. Im a fan for more than 7 years and his interviews are by far some of the best in podcasting! The guests and depth of knowledge Greg gleans from them means that he would have to learn a thing or two on the way and in this interview I try to find out where his info is coming from and we both check our sources. Hope you enjoy this one and sorry for the delay in release; I got a bit poorly there! :( Its all explained in the intro!_______________________You can find all the Higherside Chats info, merch, tickets, shows and other content here at the website https://www.thehighersidechats.com which includes the THC+ program; which is a subscription to THC where you get a whole extra hour of every interview! Its one of my favourite podcasts and Im still listening after 7 years; top level guests and Greg is an absolute legend!

Luka Magnotta
TRUE CRIME - On this episode we talk about a famed sick video maker, self anointed master criminal and star of the Netflix documentary series "Don't F**k with Cats" Luka Magnotta. Comedian Danny O'Brien joins me to chat about Luka and his sick scheme to capture the imaginations of internet sleuths to help him realise a twisted fantasy to commit a very public murder. Across continents and through the power of the internet Luka killed Jun Lin on camera and put it on the internet; while a team of internet nerds were manipulated in a cat and mouse game to track him down, he fled from North America to Europe in a wild 'Catch Me If You Can' style chase which resulted in his arrest.From Luka's admittedly rough and weird childhood to his gruesome execution of Chinese student Jun Lin he led a very strange and high risk life including dreams of becoming an actor and the nightmare of being forced to engage in depraved sexual acts for money!Great craic had with Danny O'Brien on this one and you can find Danny on IG http://www.instagram.com/dobcomedy or on his website http://www.gardengigsireland.com if you want to be kept up to date about his future dates or even book him for your own show in Ireland :D_______________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.
