When deadly floods hit Texas Hill Country in 2025, chemtrails believers and cloud-seeding conspiracists baselessly blamed it on scapegoats “playing God” with the weather. Cristen unravels the post-pandemic mainstreaming of weather control conspiracism, from fringe theories about jet contrails to politicians like Marjorie Taylor Greene legitimizing the misinformation with congressional hearings, and states outlawing geoengineering. With an incoming El Niño forecasting extreme weather ahead, prepare for more conspiracies and climate denial.

After unknowingly showing up at a Capitol insurrection, ethnographer Noelle Cook spent years embedded with the women arrested for January 6th — not grifters and influencers, the true believers. 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.

The DOJ’s Epstein files named names. Lots of them. But can a network of powerful elites really be held accountable? The Epstein Files Book Club cohosts comedian Jena Friedman (@jenafriedman) and journalist Elise Hu (@elisewho) join Cristen to sort real conspiracy from distracting theories, confront the messy lines between victims and perpetrators, and figure out what we non-elites can actually do about it.
