Everyday Conspiracy Theories

Show overview
Everyday Conspiracy Theories launched in 2024 and has put out 66 episodes, alongside 5 trailers or bonus episodes in the time since. That works out to roughly 15 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 14 min and 15 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Society & Culture show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1 year ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2024, with 48 episodes published. Published by Sean Craig Murphy.
From the publisher
These are NOT the full-fat conspiracies that give conspiracy theorists a bad name.They're the wholesome, laughable, thought-provoking and largely plagiarised observations about stuff you encounter everyday.Like suspiciously magnified seafood cabinets that make your prawns look bigger. T-shirts secretly designed by optometrists to coax you into new glasses, and something about feminine hygiene products that we probably shouldn't go into here.Your hosts, Sean Craig Murphy and Mena Soliman, promise to bring you brisk new episodes every Tuesday -- until they are cancelled.
