Hosted by Brent Lee and Neil Sanders, the show explores how conspiracy narratives form, how they spread, and why they are so effective at capturing attention and loyalty. Both hosts spent years immersed in conspiracy belief before walking away, giving them first-hand insight into how these movements operate, evolve, and entrench themselves. Drawing on lived experience, deep research, expert voices, and a distinctly British sense of humour, the podcast combines serious analysis with sharp, often self-deprecating commentary. The focus is on systems, incentives, and influence, rather than punching down at ordinary people caught up in belief. The show is best known for its long-form Deep Dives into specific conspiracy narratives, commentary on conspiracy influencers and alternative media ecosystems, and interviews with journalists, researchers, and insiders working in this space.

In this four-part, seven-hour investigative series, Some Dare Call It Conspiracy examines the rise and fall of Dr David Cartland — a GP who built a massive following during the COVID era by positioning himself as a whistleblower fighting corruption, censorship, and medical tyranny. But behind the viral clips and anti-establishment rhetoric, a different pattern was unfolding. A Medical Practitioners Tribunal found proved that Cartland engaged in years-long harassment of fellow doctors, encouraged his followers to target individuals, posted abusive and discriminatory content, and demonstrated dishonesty in relation to COVID exemption documentation The result: erasure from the medical register. Across this series, we break down: The construction of the “persecuted doctor” persona The mechanics of online pile-ons and audience capture The tribunal evidence — in detail The psychology of grievance influencers Why supporters stayed loyal despite mounting red flags How internet outrage can spiral into real-world consequences This isn’t just about one man.
