Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app.

Vad ska man tro på och vem ska man lita på när historieböckerna är fyllda av riktiga konspirationer? Varför brinner mobilmaster i Storbritannien? Och vad är det som kan få en människa att tro att den brittiska kungafamiljen egentligen är ödlor?

P3 Dystopia försöker reda ut hur dom här idéerna kan påverka vår framtid, vad vi kan göra åt dom och hur man skiljer en konspirationsteori från en Konspirationsteori.
