The Illuminati: Real, Ridiculous, or Running the World?

What do Beyoncé, the Founding Fathers, and a 40-foot owl in the woods have in common? According to some, they’re all part of the same secret club that started in 1776—and never went away. In this episode of 10 Minute Mystery, we’re tracing the Illuminati from its nerdy beginnings in Enlightenment-era Bavaria to its bizarre afterlife in modern pop culture.

Was it really just a bunch of candle-loving professors who got kicked out of Bavaria? Or did they burrow into powerful institutions, swap the robes for suits, and rebrand themselves as global puppet masters? We’ll break down what’s real, what’s absolutely not, and why the Illuminati keeps showing up every time something confusing happens in the world.
Celebrities, coded symbols, reptilian shape-shifters, and a suspicious amount of triangles—welcome to the story that refuses to die.

Listen now, follow the show, and tell your friends. If the Illuminati are watching, they’ll probably appreciate the exposure.
