Optophobia

Even Deep State bureaucrats need the occasional morale boost. But after an hour-long, Propofol-nourished elevator ride, employee engagement consultant Vikki Ganders was as surprised as anyone to find herself leading trust fall, rope course and rap circle exercises in the 51st state.

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.
