Optophobia

Mike Hightower knows a thing or two about being the best at something. The king of mattress sales in the Wisconsin Dells knows more than just antimicrobial treatments, memory foam gel and edge guards. Hightower knows all about the Deep State's anti-aging technology, developed to train — and keep — experts in various functions within the Constitutional State government. Think prodigies are actually children?

What is Optophobia?

Optophobia is the fear of opening one’s eyes. Our show is dedicated to encouraging you — our listeners — to move beyond that fear. To solve riddles they don’t want us to unriddle. To investigate supposedly ironclad truths. To unearth evidence, buried for so long they believed it would stay buried. Each season we tackle a new investigation into what is often dismissively called a “conspiracy theory,” and each week a new guest weighs in. Are you bored by the lies? Open your eyes.
