9/11: Unanswered Part Three - EP 167
www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast The first two episodes of this series told the story of the September 11th attacks. This episode turns to what's still argued about the World Trade Center collapse twenty-five years later, examining the physical evidence, the official NIST investigation, and the theories that have circulated since 2001. Sean, Eric , and Jorge work through NIST's official findings on the collapse of the Twin Towers — how the aircraft impacts stripped away fireproofing, why the structural failure took the shape it did, and the engineering behind it. They also examine the specific claims that have defined 9/11 conspiracy theories for two decades: reports of molten metal found in the wreckage weeks after the collapse, the speed at which the towers came down, the free-fall acceleration debate, and whether NIST's own data holds up against them. The episode then turns to World Trade Center Building 7 — a 47-story skyscraper that was never struck by an aircraft and collapsed that evening regardless. Building 7's collapse remains one of the most debated open questions connected to 9/11. The hosts cover NIST's official explanation, the competing University of Alaska Fairbanks engineering study that challenges it, and developer Larry Silverstein's "pull it" comment from a 2002 PBS interview, weighing what he has said the phrase meant against how it's been interpreted by skeptics since. The episode closes on the financial side of that day — the World Trade Center lease Silverstein signed six weeks before the attacks, and the insurance settlement that followed, both frequently cited in 9/11 truth movement discussions. New episodes of "9/11: Unanswered," The Conspiracy Podcast's series marking the 25th anniversary of September 11th, release every Tuesday through September 28th. Follow on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

9/11: Unanswered - Part Two - EP 166
www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast Part two picks up right where "The Day" left off — both towers still standing, the country still trying to figure out what's happening. This episode finishes the story of September 11th, and it's a lot heavier than the headlines usually let it be. Eric, Sean and Jorge walk through the collapse of both towers minute by minute — what it actually felt like from inside, drawing on The Only Plane in the Sky, the oral history built entirely from witness accounts. But this episode isn't just about the worst parts of that morning. It's about Rick Rescorla, who ignored the "stay put" announcement and personally evacuated nearly 2,700 people from the South Tower while singing through a bullhorn, then went back in and never came out. It's about the 14 people who survived in Stairwell B because a Port Authority employee named Josephine Harris couldn't move fast — and accidentally saved everyone around her. It's about Welles Crowther, the Man in the Red Bandana, and the Coast Guard-led boatlift that moved half a million people off Manhattan by water in under nine hours, a bigger evacuation than Dunkirk. The episode also follows the chaos in Washington — Cheney in the White House bunker authorizing a shootdown order the 9/11 Commission itself later admitted has "conflicting evidence" about who actually approved it first, Ben Sliney grounding every plane in American airspace on his literal first day on the job, and the military confusion that left fighter jets 150 miles away when the Pentagon was hit. And it sets up what's coming next — the first mention of Building 7, the 47-story tower that collapsed without being hit by a plane, and a passport that survived a 500-mile-an-hour impact and a raging fire almost too cleanly to believe. This episode closes out the full account of September 11th before the series turns to what's still unresolved a quarter-century later.

This is the true story of Paige Farley-Hackel and Ruth and Juliana McCourt. In the pre-dawn dark at Logan Airport, two best friends say goodbye before boarding two different flights to the same reunion in California. A simple decision — a handful of frequent flyer miles — is the only thing that separates them that morning. What happens next unfolds across two towers, seventeen minutes apart.

9/11: Unanswered - Part One - EP 165
www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast Twenty-five years later, The Conspiracy Podcast is finally tackling it. "9/11: Unanswered" kicks off with the day itself — minute by minute, four flights, one morning that changed everything. It starts like any other Tuesday. Nineteen men move through four different airports — Portland, Boston, Newark, Washington Dulles — carrying box cutters and knives with blades under four inches, which was perfectly legal at the time. Ten of them get flagged by CAPPS, the era's passenger screening system, before they even board. Flagged, and let through anyway. Hosts Eric , Sean and Jorge pull apart exactly how that happened, working straight from the 9/11 Commission Report to keep the timeline accurate rather than relying on secondhand retellings. From there it's real time. Flight attendants Betty Ong and Amy Sweeney calling it in from the air as it's happening. Daniel Lewin, a former Israeli special forces officer, trying to stop his own hijacker before anyone on the ground even knows what's unfolding. The first plane hits the North Tower and the world assumes it's an accident — until the second one hits live on television, and there's no more room for that assumption. Then the Pentagon. Then United 93, where the passengers find out, mid-flight, exactly what happened to the other three planes and make a decision most of them never get the chance to think twice about. The episode also follows President Bush's morning at a Florida elementary school — the seven minutes in that classroom people are still arguing about twenty-five years later — through Air Force One and into the address that ended up shaping the next two decades of American foreign policy. This one ran long. Long enough that the hosts split it into two parts rather than cut corners on any of it. Part 2 picks up exactly where this one leaves off. Later episodes in the series get into what's still unresolved after twenty-five years — the Commission's own gaps, the disputed collapse of Building 7, and the questions around the Pentagon that never fully went away. New episodes of "9/11: Unanswered" drop every Tuesday through September 28th.

The Rise of Al-Qaeda - EP 164
www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast Join the boys as they trace Al-Qaeda's origins from the Soviet-Afghan War to the eve of September 11th, 2001. Hosts unpack how Osama bin Laden and Palestinian scholar Abdullah Azzam built Maktab al-Khidamat, the recruitment network that seeded al-Qaeda's formal founding in a Peshawar house in August 1988 — with just fifteen men on its original roster. The episode connects the dots most true crime and history podcasts miss: how the 1993 WTC bomber Ramzi Yousef's uncle, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, quietly financed that attack before becoming the architect of 9/11 himself. Listeners get the full arc — bin Laden's betrayal by the Saudi monarchy during the Gulf War, his exile in Sudan, the alliance with the Taliban, the 1998 embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, and the USS Cole attack — plus a deep dive into the unsettling human details rarely covered elsewhere: the hijackers' bizarre flight school behavior (including an abandoned Cessna left on a Miami taxiway), documented drinking and strip club visits that contradict their professed extremism, and two eerie traffic stops — including one just two days before the attacks — that could have changed everything. The episode closes on the edge of history: September 10th, 2001, with nineteen men in place and no one yet knowing what the next morning would bring. This is essential setup for the show's upcoming four-part 9/11 25th anniversary series, launching later this month.

The 1993 World Trade Center Bombing - EP 163
www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast Most people, when they hear "World Trade Center," think of one date. But eight years before September 11th, the Twin Towers were already a target — and the man behind it wanted to bring down both buildings at once. On February 26, 1993, Ramzi Yousef detonated a truck bomb in the parking garage beneath the North Tower, hoping to topple it sideways into the South Tower and kill a quarter of a million people at lunchtime. He failed — but not by much. Six people died, over a thousand were injured, and roughly 50,000 people evacuated through smoke-filled stairwells in what was, at the time, the largest evacuation in American history. In this episode, Eric, Sean, and Jorge dig into the story almost nobody remembers: the co-conspirator who got caught because he wanted his $400 deposit back, the FBI informant whose secretly recorded tapes suggest the bombing could have been stopped, the now-debunked Iraq conspiracy theory that helped shape a war, and the bomb-maker who vanished into Baghdad and has never been found. They also trace the single $660 wire transfer that connects this attack to Yousef's uncle — a man named Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who would return eight years later to finish what his nephew started. This is Episode 163, and the official start of the show's lead-in to the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Patreon members get early access to every episode in this series, plus exclusive bonus content not available anywhere else.

Boeing Compilation
www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast Once the gold standard of American aviation, Boeing built its reputation on a simple promise: "If it's not Boeing, I'm not going." In this compilation, the guys trace how that promise unraveled — from the Wright Brothers' first 120-foot flight in 1903 to a company now facing federal fraud charges, congressional testimony, and a body count that refuses to stay in the "coincidence" column. The crew digs into Boeing's merger with McDonnell Douglas and the culture shift that followed, the 737 MAX's MCAS system and the two crashes that grounded a fleet worldwide, and the DOJ settlement that left victims' families fighting over scraps while executives walked away with golden parachutes. Then there's the door. The infamous mid-air blowout on an Alaska Airlines flight that sent the story right back into the headlines — and right back to a familiar name. At the center of it all is John Barnett, a 28-year Boeing quality inspector turned whistleblower, found dead in his truck mid-testimony against the company he spent decades defending. Add in a second whistleblower, Joshua Dean, gone under equally strange circumstances just weeks later, and the guys lay out every angle — corporate negligence, cover-up, and yes, the theory that somebody wanted these men silenced for good. Is this simply a case of a company too big to face real consequences? Or is something darker keeping the truth grounded? Buckle up — literally — for this one. Originally recorded in two parts in August 2024.

Benghazi: The Cover-Up, the Stand-Down Order & the Email Scandal | Ep. 162
www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast September 11th, 2012 in the city of Benghazi four Americans lost their lives. In a city most listeners couldn't point to on a map, when armed militants overran a lightly guarded U.S. compound in Benghazi. By the next morning, four Americans had lost their lives — among them Christopher Stevens, a diplomat so committed to the region he'd once arrived in the country by cargo ship rather than wait for a safer route in. The fallout stretched on for years: nine separate government investigations, a marathon congressional hearing that ran past eleven hours, and — almost by accident — the exposure of a private email server that some argue tipped the outcome of a presidential race with no real connection to Libya. This week, Eric, Sean, and Jorge open their countdown to the 25th anniversary of 9/11 by walking through it all — the overnight siege, the frantic hunt for an ambassador who vanished inside a burning building, and a devastatingly accurate mortar barrage at dawn that claimed two more American lives. From there, the guys tackle the parts of this story that still don't add up: a debunked video-blamed-it narrative pushed on national television, a disputed order to hold back rescuers that some contractors insist was real, and a theory tying a secret CIA outpost to weapons quietly moving toward Syria. They also connect the dots on how digging into Benghazi wound up cracking open one of the most consequential email scandals in American political history.

The Isdal Woman: Death in Ice Valley Part Two - EP 161
www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast In Part Two, Sean, Jorge, and Eric dive straight into the theories that have kept the Isdal Woman's case alive for over half a century. She died in a Norwegian valley under at least eight false identities, and fifty-five years later, no one still knows who she really was. Was she a Cold War intelligence operative, her movements lining up suspiciously close to Norway's top-secret missile testing sites while the country's secret police quietly opened their own file behind the scenes? Was she connected to a Swiss banker infamous for financing Nazi sympathizers and extremist causes across decades? Was she an international fraudster running a long con across the continent, or a woman working discreetly for a clientele who had every reason to stay silent after her death? And underneath every theory sits the same unanswered question: was it suicide, or murder? The guys also break down the forensic science that's chipped away at the mystery over the years — isotope analysis narrowing down where she may have grown up, DNA testing tracing a maternal line to a part of the world none of her fake passports ever claimed — and how a fifty-year-old cold case turned into one of the most successful true crime podcasts ever made. Tens of thousands of amateur investigators from around the world are still hunting for answers today, still combing through old sketches and hotel records, still trying to finish what Norwegian police gave up on decades ago. And even after all that science, all that attention, and all those true believers, the Isdal Woman remains buried under a name that was never hers. Let us know your theory. Who was she, and what really happened in Ice Valley?

The Isdal Woman: Death in Ice Valley Part One - EP 160
www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast In November 1970, a father and his two young daughters were hiking through a remote Norwegian ravine that locals had nicknamed "Death Valley" when they stumbled onto a nightmare: the burned, unrecognizable body of a woman, surrounded by personal items with every label, tag, and maker's mark deliberately removed. What followed became one of the strangest unsolved cases in modern European history. Investigators would eventually uncover a woman who had crossed the continent under at least eight false identities, checking into hotel after hotel under invented names and fabricated Belgian hometowns, always paying cash, always wiping her own fingerprints from glasses. Hidden inside the lining of her suitcase: Deutsche Marks, disguises, and a coded notepad no one could read. Norwegian police closed the case within months. No one has ever solved it. Sean, Jorge, and Eric dig into the gruesome discovery, the disturbing autopsy findings, the tangled web of hotel aliases stretching across the continent, and the eyewitnesses who came forward decades later after being told, at the time, to simply forget what they'd seen. It's the foundation of one of the most bizarre disappearances of the Cold War era — and the mystery is only just getting started. Who was the Isdal Woman? Part Two drops next Tuesday.

American Myths Part Two: Columbus, The Alamo, Pocahontas & The Liberty Bell - EP 159
www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast Part Two. Columbus discovered America. The Liberty Bell rang out on July 4th, 1776. The defenders of the Alamo were freedom-loving heroes who chose to die rather than surrender. And Pocahontas fell in love with a brave English soldier and saved his life with the power of nature and music. These are the stories that made it into the movies, the federal holidays, the theme parks, and the history books. They're taught to every American child as fact. And in this episode, Eric, Jorge, and Sean are asking the question nobody wants to ask: what if most of them aren't true? From the real history of Christopher Columbus and the colonization of the Americas, to the origin of the Liberty Bell's name, to what the Texas Revolution was actually fought over, to the true story of the real woman behind the Pocahontas myth — the guys dig into who built these legends, when, and why. Some of these myths are embellished. Some are invented. And at least one is considerably darker than the version you grew up with. Eight American myths. Two weeks. Happy 250th America.

American Myths Part One: Revere, Betsy Ross, Washington & Franklin - EP 158
www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast In honor of America's 250th anniversary, Eric, Jorge, and Sean are taking on some of the most famous stories in American history — and asking a simple question: are they actually true? Paul Revere's midnight ride. Betsy Ross and the first American flag. George Washington and the cherry tree. Benjamin Franklin flying a kite in a lightning storm. These are the stories every American learns as a kid, the legends that show up on murals and coins and every Fourth of July without fail. But what if most of them were invented? Not exaggerated — invented. By poets, booksellers, and loyal grandsons who needed a good story and weren't above making one up. The real versions are messier, stranger, and in at least one case involved two men in Europe who didn't survive trying to replicate the experiment. The guys dig into who actually built these myths, when, and why — and what the real stories look like underneath them. Turns out 250 years of American history comes with a lot of fine print. Part Two drops next week.

Noah's Ark Part 2: The Boat in the Rock — EP 157
Support the show: www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast The search for Noah's Ark doesn't end with the story — it ends in the mountains of eastern Turkey. In Part 2, Eric, Jorge, and Sean pick up where they left off and dive into the physical evidence: a 515-foot boat-shaped formation sitting 18 miles south of Mount Ararat, ground-penetrating radar scans revealing angular structures 20 feet underground, and 2024 soil tests showing organic matter nearly three times higher inside the formation than outside. They cover Ron Wyatt — the nurse anesthetist who spent 22 years and 25 trips convinced he'd found the ark — and the two scientists who came after him and ended up on opposite sides. The guys also get into the Black Sea catastrophe theory, the alternative mountain candidates, and all six major theories on what the ark actually was — or wasn't. Core drilling is planned for 2025 and 2026, and the three hosts agree: whatever the results show, there's no question something happened. The flood was real. Whether the boat is still out there is another story.

Noah's Ark Part 1: Before the Bible - EP 156 Conspiracy Podcast
www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast Before the Bible, before Genesis, before any written scripture as we know it — there was the flood. Eric, Sean, and Jorge dive into one of the oldest, most widespread, and most hotly debated stories in human history: Noah's Ark. Did a catastrophic flood actually destroy an ancient civilization? The evidence is hard to ignore. 217 distinct cultures across six continents — from the ancient Sumerians to the Aztecs to Aboriginal Australians — all independently carry a version of the same story: a great flood, a righteous man, a massive boat, and a world reborn. That's not a coincidence. That's a memory. In Part 1, the guys trace the flood narrative from its oldest known origins in ancient Mesopotamia — including the Sumerian tale of Ziusudra, the Akkadian story of Atrahasis, and the Epic of Gilgamesh — and show how these accounts predate the Biblical story of Noah by centuries, sharing nearly identical details beat for beat. They break down the Genesis account in full: the dimensions of the ark (spoiler: it's the size of a football field and a half), the 150 days on water, the raven, the dove, and the olive branch. They also dig into what the Bible actually says about where the ark landed — and why "the Mountains of Ararat" is far more complicated than you've been told. Then they get into the physical search: a French explorer who pulled hand-worked wood from a glacier 13,000 feet up a Turkish mountain, an Apollo 15 astronaut who said finding Noah's Ark was harder than walking on the moon, and the boat-shaped formation in eastern Turkey that researchers are actively scanning with ground-penetrating radar right now. Did a regional catastrophe get retold across thousands of years and hundreds of cultures into the story of one man and one boat? Or is there something more to it? Part 2 drops next week.

Ark of the Covenant Pt. 2: Ethiopia, Nazis & the Copper Scroll | Ep. 155 | The Conspiracy Podcast
www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast The Ark of the Covenant vanished from history in 586 BC — and for 2,600 years, everyone from ancient pharaohs to Nazi SS officers has been searching for it. In Part 2 of their deep dive, Jorge, Eric, and Sean break down the most compelling theories about where the world's most powerful relic actually ended up. The guys go inside Ethiopia's extraordinary claim — where 45 million Orthodox Christians believe the Ark sits inside a tiny, heavily guarded chapel in Axum, protected by a single monk who takes its secrets to his grave. They unpack the Kebra Nagast, the tale of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, and why the most fully developed theory in history might also be the most flawed. Then they dig into the Copper Scroll — an actual treasure map discovered in the Dead Sea caves listing 64 hidden locations and billions of dollars in sacred relics. Could the Ark be buried somewhere in the Judaean wilderness? Is it still hidden beneath the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, right under the Dome of the Rock? Or did the Babylonians simply melt it down for gold centuries ago? The episode also covers the Nazi occult — the real Himmler, the real Ahnenerbe, and why the most militarized regime in modern history sent government-funded expeditions to track down a biblical artifact. Spoiler: they didn't find it either. By the end, Jorge, Eric, and Sean land on where they think the Ark actually is — and the answer is both the simplest and most deflating theory of all. Topics covered: The Ethiopian claim and the Chapel of the Tablet in Axum The Kebra Nagast, King Solomon, and Menelik I Graham Hancock's The Sign and the Seal and the Elephantine theory The Book of 2 Maccabees and the Mount Nebo cave The Copper Scroll and the Dead Sea treasure map The Temple Mount theory — still buried in Jerusalem? Himmler, the SS Ahnenerbe, and the Nazi hunt for the occult Did the Ark ever have real powers — or was it just a very important box? Haven't listened to Part 1 yet?

Ark of the Covenant Part One - EP 154
www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast The Ark of the Covenant (Part 1) It's a box. Not a particularly big box — roughly four feet long, covered in gold, carried on poles, and missing for over 2,600 years. But according to three major world religions, it's the single most dangerous object that has ever existed on planet Earth. This week, Sean, Eric, and Jorge crack open one of the greatest mysteries in human history: the Ark of the Covenant. Before anyone can chase it, hide it, or die trying to touch it, you need to understand what this thing actually was. The boys walk through the full origin story — Moses on Mount Sinai, 40 days and 40 nights, a very specific divine blueprint, and a construction contract that made IKEA instructions look casual. God wanted acacia wood, exact cubit measurements, a solid gold lid hammered by hand, and two golden cherubim with wings arching inward. No substitutions. No pine. Acacia only, sir. Then the Ark starts doing things. Rivers stop flowing. City walls collapse. Seventy people drop dead just for looking inside it. A man named Uzzah reaches out to keep it from falling off a cart — trying to save it — and God strikes him down on the spot. The Philistines steal it, regret it immediately, and send it back with gold offerings and a full apology. It parts the Jordan River. It flattens the walls of Jericho without a single sword swung. And then, somewhere around 586 BC, it simply vanishes — so completely that even the Babylonian king who looted Jerusalem didn't bother writing it down. Where did it go? Is it buried under a church in Ethiopia? Was it hidden by priests who saw the invasion coming? Was it ever even a physical object at all? The boys lay the foundation this week so Part 2 can go full conspiracy. The mystery is just getting started.
