Episode 206: Conspiracist Ls and Ws

Conspiracy theories, melted online communities and cursed media — we pry open the cracks in consensus reality and journey into the hidden worlds below. The QAA Podcast is a mix of reporting, comedy, and history hosted by Jake Rockatansky, Travis View, and Julian Feeld along with co-hosts Annie Kelly, Liv Agar and Brad Abrahams. Formerly known as the QAnon Anonymous podcast.

Even in the early conversations discussing the rapid growth of artificial intelligence, there was always the fear that it could potentially fall into the wrong hands.  Unfortunately, the QAA team is here to tell you that it has.  It is definitely already in the wrong hands.  And that’s mostly due to the fact that sophisticated AI algorithms are available to anyone with an internet connection.  Conspiracy theorists have a brand-new tool at their disposal to further muddy the waters between what is real and what is not.  

But it wasn’t always this way.  Jake tracks the humble beginnings of AI interacting with social media users while Travis breaks down how it's been used to mess with our brains more recently.  One thing is clear however, AI is here to stay… and it has already replaced the QAA hosts.

Later in the episode, Jake finds a conspiracy theory influencer with such a funny name, he just had to do a story starring him.

Premium Episode 239: The Key Bridge Collapse (Sample)

According to the Tartarian Empire conspiracy theory there once existed a massive, advanced regime that stretched over much of the Asian continent. This Empire’s power was so great that they built structures all over the world, including in Africa, North America and South America. Buildings such as the White House in Washington D.C. and the Great Pyramids in Egypt were built by the great, globe spanning Tartarian empire. They were able to accomplish this in part thanks to advanced technology that is lost to time, like batteries powered by the Earth which distributed electricity wirelessly.

This theory has spawned a community of people who pour through old European maps and pictures of 19th century buildings in search of evidence for this lost empire, then post their findings on Reddit and Tik tok.

But was there really a lost empire called “Tartaria?” Or have conspiracy theorists on the internet misinterpreted an archaic European term for parts of Asia then proceeded to desperately search for evidence of a better world that was lost to time?

Episode 273: The Tartarian Empire

This week, we drop Liv Agar on planet P to wade through the thousands of bug carcasses that have been discussing Starship Troopers as of late.  Meanwhile, Brain Bug Travis has been captured and forced out of his comfy cave amidst the rallying cries of one million Julians.  Will Liv be able to make it all the way through a pro-fascism science fiction novel from 1959?  Will Jake be able to critically discuss the politics surrounding “Helldivers 2”, a video game inspired by a satirical movie adapted from the aforementioned pro-fascism novel?  Will he instead include gameplay footage despite there being no video component of this podcast?  Join us, on one express elevator to Hell.
