We interview Jon Ronson, who has been studying conspiracy theories and a variety of other topics up our alley for the last three decades. He’s the author of books like 'Men Who Stare At Goats' and 'Them: Adventures With Extremists'. He’s also also made documentary series like 'The Secret Rulers of the World', which saw Ronson infiltrating Bohemian Grove on the same day that Alex Jones did in the late 90s. Jon Ronson’s latest work is a Radio 4 and BBC Sounds podcast series entitled 'Things Fell Apart'. It covers, among other things, satanic panic and tragic QAnon figure Isaac Kappy.

Libertarian magicians Penn & Teller turn their gaze to the art world in TIM'S VERMEER (2013), a documentary that attempts to prove that, with just the right set of tools and a lot of money, one wealthy entrepreneur can paint a Vermeer. We discuss the bleak, empty void that is Penn & Teller's view of art.
