The Conspirators Podcast

In 1989, a man named Ken Webster released a book titled "The Vertical Plane" in which he made a remarkable claim. He said that just a few years earlier, while living in the quaint English village of Dodleston, he began receiving messages on his BBC Micro computer. What's so strange about that you might ask? Well according to Ken, those messages were coming from a man living on the same property in the 16th century.

Thomas Edison has gone down in history as one of our greatest inventors. But toward the end of his life he created one last invention that if it worked, would have changed the world forever. That was when Edison built a device that he hoped could help him talk to ghosts.

There are few names more legendary in the history of science than that of Nikola Tesla. The inventions he created are still in use today. He helped change and power our modern world. Yet he was also a deeply troubled individual, who may have created some inventions that could have destroyed the world as well.

The 1950s and 1960s marked a time when the United States and the Soviet Union were in a proverbial space race to see who could be the first to successfully send human beings into outer space.
