About Today's Guest: Jeran Campanella joined THC in 2017 to present his research and conclusion that the Earth was Flat. For years, Jeran was on of the most popular Flat Earth creators. In 2024, Pastor Will Duffy put together a research trip to Antarctica with 4 flat earthers and 4 conventional model advocates commonly called The Final Experiment. Both sides agreed that seeing the 24 hour sun in Antarctica would drastically affect the way the looked at the Earth Shape Question. Jeran came home a changed man, though his FE friends, fans, and community have been less than receptive to Jaren's new perspective.
