Optophobia

Idaho floral artist Phoebe Shoemaker has seen super spreaders close up. Bees buzz around her store all day, drawing color, vibrancy — LIFE — from her flowers. The danger doesn't come from the bees' sting, but from their honey. Or more precisely, Big Honey executives who have infected the world with Covfefe-19 via their sweet, sticky product.

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.
