## Resource

Donny's on the phone, and FIFA is listening! What's the DJ? No red card? Yes sir no problem sir. Half of Australia can't pay for a flat white because Telstra went down, Beijing is just "testing the waters," right? Hosted by Rich Baker and Dr Nick Coatsworth, the Conspiracy Cabal is on the hunt for the kernel of truth. Contact the show at conspiracycabal@outlook.com. The Conspiracy Cabal doesn't promote conspiracy theories - it examines them. We search for the kernel of truth in every story, exploring how conspiracies begin, why they endure, and what drives people to believe them.
