Summary

FOLLOW RICHARD: Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok @syrettstrangeplanet 1179 Conspiracies Unraveled: What If the 'Crazy' Theories Are True? Conspiracy theories aren’t just barstool banter anymore—sometimes, they’re uncomfortably real. On this episode of Strange Planet, host Richard Syrett welcomes Shane Skwarek and Tim Philipps, the razor-sharp minds behind Cocktails & Conspiracies. With 30 years of digging into the world’s biggest mysteries, these New Jersey realists don’t just chase shadows—they dissect them. From debunking the Zodiac Killer as a media-spun myth to uncovering Shakespeare as a front for Edward de Vere’s royal scandal, they wield Occam’s Razor to cut through the noise. But the moon? That’s where things get murky—landing hoaxes and hollow theories leave even these skeptics questioning. Tune in as they reveal surprising truths, wrestle with cosmic cover-ups, and share why some conspiracies hit too close to home. Pour a drink and join the unraveling—because the simplest explanation might just blow your mind. GUEST: Shane Skwarek: Tech-whiz and conspiracy realist, Shane’s spent three decades peeling back the layers of the world’s strangest tales. Co-host of Cocktails & Conspiracies, he’s the guy who’d rather debug a theory than buy the hype. GUEST: Tim Philipps: Sales-savvy and sharp-eyed, Tim’s 30-year quest for truth pairs perfectly with a stiff drink. Co-creator of Cocktails & Conspiracies, he’s the voice of reason who knows some secrets are too good to stay buried.
