57 min - Episode 29: Conspiratorial Thinking Revisited
CONTENT WARNING: discussions of gun violence, Sandy Hook
This week I am revisiting the concept of conspiratorial thinking in an update to episode 2. I focus on the recent news of Alex Jones being found liable for damages due to his statements about the Sandy Hook shooting, as well as the consequences of conspiratorial thinking for the survivors of tragedies. It's a tough subject but one that I think is important to discuss.

For the final women's history month episode, I am discussing the classic film The Three Faces of Eve (1957). I love this movie but still need to address the rather problematic ways it depicts DID, formerly known as multiple personality disorder. Check it out!
