Some Dare Call It Conspiracy

Initiates! Before you get stuck into this episode, we have a special announcement.

After nearly 3 years of making the podcast, we stumbled upon a format that fulfills much of what we wanted to do with the podcast. Within days of recording the "This Is Fine" episode, it became clear to both of us that this had everything SDCIC was about. This episode gave us the opportunity to debunk conspiracy theories and counter disinformation on a play by play basis. It gave us a chance to share our unique perspectives and personal experiences at times. And of course, the privilege to roast the nuttiest of these cultists.

So we're going to continue making this series as the bulk of the show for now.. but don't worry!

We will still make deep dives! (We have already recorded a 10 part series on Ancient Aliens - and written the next series)

We will still have interviews!

We will still do Movie Night with Greg!

We still love mixing up the format here! So in order for us all to distinguish between the different formats, this new series will be titled "The World According To Some"... shorthand: TWATS.

Thanks for your support! If you have any questions, never hesitate to comment or contact us!

Enjoy!

Today we are looking back to the events from 20th to the 27th of January 2025. *AD FREE EPISODES ARE AVAILABLE AT https://www.patreon.com/somedarecallitconspiracy FOR JUST $2 PER MONTH - JOIN US AND SUPPORT THE PODCAST*

Some Dare Call It Conspiracy is an award-winning podcast that examines conspiracy theories, misinformation, and moral panics — not from the outside, but from the inside.

The show is co-created and hosted by Brent Lee and Neil Sanders, both former insiders in the conspiracy world who spent years immersed in conspiracy belief, alternative media, and grassroots activism before walking away. Their experience gives them first-hand insight into how conspiracy narratives are built, why they feel so convincing, and why leaving those communities can be difficult.

Drawing on lived experience, deep research, and expert interviews — alongside a distinctly British sense of humour — the podcast breaks down conspiracy culture with clarity and bite. Episodes vary in format, but all focus on who benefits when misinformation spreads, how harm is done, and how bad ideas gain influence.

The result is a show that is sceptical without being smug, serious about real-world consequences without losing its edge, and unafraid to call out grift and power where it thrives.

🎙️ The Nut Roast with Neil Sanders: I Wootton Wish It On My Worst Enemy - New Episode Out Now!


Hello Initiates,


If you've been craving some sharp satire and unapologetic critique, we've got just what you need in our latest episode of The Nut Roast with Neil Sanders, now live for your listening pleasure!


In this episode, Neil's diving deep into the turbulent career of Dan Wootton, comparing his journalistic escapades to the least glamorous part of a champion racehorse’s day. From Wootton's early days in New Zealand journalism to his more controversial work in the UK tabloids, Neil doesn't hold back on anything.


Here's a sneak peek of what you can expect:


The Rise and Fall


: Neil traces Wootton's career trajectory, from working for "News of the World" and "The Sun" to writing for the "Daily Mail" and eventually his controversial tenure at GB News.


Scant Scandals


: Insightful commentary on Wootton's handling of sensitive stories, including the public backlash over his coverage of Caroline Flack's tragedy.


Hypocritical Mourning


: Wootton's performative mourning of Queen Elizabeth II’s death gets a sardonic look.


Patriotism and Extremism


: Neil critiques Ben Walker's radical political views and the uneasy position of figures like Katie Hopkins and Tommy Robinson within UKIP.


Operation Scatter


: Insight into the narratives around UK immigration policies and Wootton's divisive rhetoric.


Media and Bias


: Unpacked the sensationalist narratives propagated by right-wing media figures and their effect on public discourse.


On Air Dramas


: Hear about the Ofcom condemnations that led to Wootton’s firing and the insane rumors he tried to spread about political figures.


Neil treats us to another hilariously scathing monologue, reflecting on the indefatigable absurdity of certain media personalities. Expect lots of laughs, truth bombs, and eye-rolling moments as he dissects the now-infamous career decisions and media antics of Dan Wootton.

The Downfall Of Richard D Hall (Part THREE)

Welcome back to "Some Dare Call It Conspiracy," where we continue our deep dive into the world of conspiracy theories surrounding the Manchester Arena attack. In this follow-up episode, we focus on the latest developments concerning Richard D. Hall, a prominent figure in the conspiracy theory community. Hall, once a skeptic of hoax theories, has become one of their most vocal proponents, particularly regarding the tragic events at Manchester Arena in 2017.

We trace Hall's journey from a non-believer to a firm advocate of hoax conspiracy theories, exploring the pivotal moments and influences that led to his transformation. Our investigation takes us through his controversial claims and the legal challenges he faces after alleging that the bombing was staged. We also discuss the profound impact of these claims on survivors, including Martin and Eve Hibbert, who have courageously spoken out against such theories.

Join us as we unravel the complexities of belief, skepticism, and misinformation in today's digital age. This episode offers a compelling look at how conspiracy theories can evolve and gain traction, and the real-world consequences they can have on individuals and communities. Tune in for an insightful exploration of truth, deception, and the blurred lines in between.
