Listen Later

Since the internet has become such an important part of most people's lives, conspiracy theories now seem to be everywhere. This seems especially true over the last year or two with numerous examples in many countries. But how are conspiracy theories created? Are they all different or are there similarities between them? It's important to understand how they work so that you can identify which stories are true and which are not. In this episode I will give you their main characteristics so that you can recognise the next conspiracy theory that you hear.
