Host Cristen Conger ( Unladylike ) untangles the wildest webs of conspiracy theories spun by and about women—from the lady fascists who spread Illuminati conspiracies a century ago to Beyoncé Illuminati rumors today. With expert guests and unexpected angles, each episode unravels the cultural currents that fuel these gendered narratives, connecting the dots between memes, misogyny and misinformation gone wild.

Her new book, The Conspiracists: Women, Extremism and the Lure of Belonging , follows two: Yvonne, a self-proclaimed starseed and sovereign citizen who considers the J6 pardons divine vindication, and Tammy, who showed up for the community and never really left. As Noelle details to Cristen, the paths that led them there map the pandemic’s alt-health tipping point, conspirituality’s empowerment trap, and how conspiracy functions as a coping mechanism and connection machine for middle-aged women that culture makes invisible.
