New Podcast with Matt Taibbi, Episode 1: "Conspiratardation"
In the debut episode of his new show, Matt Taibdi (aka Michael Tracy) riffs on the chaotic blend of left‑ and right‑wing conspiracy culture he dubs “conspiratardation,” noting how recent releases of Jeffrey Epstein files and the Iran war have shattered mainstream worldviews. He critiques the media’s algorithmic amplification of syncretic conspiracies, lampoons past hoaxes like Pizzagate, and argues that a hidden occult cabal now dominates public discourse. Guest Professor Haekun Jang (whose credentials are dubious) adds that this awakening could be a spiritual reckoning, while Taibdi dismisses personal relationships as irrelevant to his journalism. The episode mixes absurd humor, self‑referential jokes, and a bleak assessment of power structures.
