The 10 Best Podcasts For Your Inner Conspiracy Theorist

In this podcast, the comedian Dan Cummins focuses on one listener-suggested topic each week, riffing on the subject matter with his trademark irreverence. Definitely one of the more humorous conspiracy theory podcasts on this list, even when the topic is serial killers. We recommend starting with episode 66: Eleanor MF'n Roosevelt.

The title of The Higherside Chats says it all: the clever pun reflects the podcast's psychedelic nature and wacky outlook helmed by Greg Carlwood. Our favorite episode, #123, reflects the podcast's ambitious scope: Jim Fetzer | The Moon Landing Hoax, The Holocaust, & Jade Helm. Carlwood addresses an array of topics on each podcast, perfect for those with short attention spans.

This podcast is perfect for people who think the Illuminati secretly rule all of the world and government and celebrity. The host, Isaac Weishaupt, is from IlluminatiWatcher.com and he focuses specifically on the lluminati symbolism hidden in pop culture. We recommend starting with the third episode, which is dedicated to Beyoncé.

Like Timesuck, Those Conspiracy Guys is another conspiracy theory podcast with a more comedic bent — though, this time, with an Irish twist. Listen to them discuss aliens and ghosts and demons one moment, and Russian spies and the CIA the next.

First released in 2012, Generation Why is one of the first podcasts to investigate the true-crime genre. Listen in as two friends, Aaron and Justin, examine unsolved murders and mysteries — we recommend the Titanic Conspiracy, in particular.

Noel Brown, Matt Frederick, and Ben Bowlin are another buddy team investigating the realms of the unknown in Stuff They Don't Want You to Know. What stuff exactly? Well, the list includes UFOs, cosmonauts, and cults.

From unidentified happenings in outer space to unexplained events here on earth, this biweekly podcast focuses on strange occurrences that remain unanswered or unsolved. "Is Unexplained the world's spookiest podcast?" asked The Guardian. We'd have to vote yes.

Despite the freaky name, Hysteria 51 is not another scary podcast — this one instead focuses on an everyman's take on conspiracy theories. Hosted by John Goforth, Brent Hand, and Conspiracy Bot (described as "a cranky robot bent on world domination who also happens to be the show's head researcher" on the podcast's website) they keep things light each week with a smattering of beers and a variety of opinions.

This conspiracy podcast analyzes the insane "with beers in hand and open minds." Think "Drunk History," but instead of historical facts, they're sharing historical would-be facts, if only the public wasn't kept in the dark. Another funny option, like Timesuck.

Similar to Conspiracy Theories and Unpopular Culture, this podcast also dives deep into the much-rumored Illuminati web. They also share a preoccupation with Queen Bey's role in it all. We recommend episode 57: Beyonce Rules All.
