    Nov 13 2024

    There's a lot of buzz around Everyday Conspiracy Theories at the moment, and if you're new: welcome!

    It's not too late to board the ECT bandwagon.

    You could play our entire back catalogue (which we'd love), or you could take the expressway with this 12 minute 'best of'.

    By listening to this episode, you will:

    • Learn what an ECT is
    • Come up with your own (which you'll preferably give to us), and
    • Join the masses who listen every week.

    In today's micro-dose episode we discuss Fake ID'ing, dodgy hotel WiFi, LinkedIn, shrinking hands and 'free range' eggs.

    If you like the show, recommend it to a friend. If you don't, recommend it to an enemy.
