Optophobia

In his work as a missile engineering studying manager, Master Carmichael Carmichaels made a startling discovery. The liquid that Mars is so famous for is actually a "nuclear desert sun dune," which NASA brought back to Earth in gas form and which has now leaked into the population, causing Covfefe-19.

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.
