Synopsis

This program is read by the authors.

Hosts of the podcast Stuff They Don’t Want You to Know, Ben Bowlin, Matthew Frederick, & Noel Brown discern conspiracy fact from fiction regarding "stuff" the government doesn’t want you to know.

Conspiracies didn’t always seem so clear and present. It used to be that people with tin-foil hats who were convinced of secret messages coming through the radio were easily disregarded as kooks and looney tunes. But these days, conspiracies feel alive and well. From internet rumors to lying politicians to the tinderbox that is social media, it’s become remarkably clear that a vast swath of people believe really bonkers things.

Why is that? How did these theories proliferate? Is there a kernel of truth to it or are they fully fiction? Ben Bowlin, Matt Frederick, and Noel Brown are the hosts of the popular iHeart podcast that seeks to answer these questions. With cool heads and extensive research, they regularly break down the wildest conspiracy theories: from chemtrails and biological testing to the secrets of lobbying and why the Kennedy assassination is of perennial interest.

Written in smart, witty, and conversational style, Stuff They Don’t Want You to Know is a vital audiobook in helping to understand the unexplainable and use truth as a powerful weapon against ignorance, misinformation, and lies.

A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Paul

I find conspiracy theories fun to read about, like ghost stories to me, I don't believe in them, but it's fun to pretend to. This book goes through some of the big and most well-known conspiracy theories and walks through the history of them, and then tackles the truths that we know are behind them......more

Goodreads review by Jos

Really interesting premise, and I enjoyed learning some of the true events that have fueled some popular conspiracy theories. But the writing style was slow and I felt unmotivated to read it. For a more well-written look into why conspiracies gain traction among certain groups, I recommend “Off The......more

Goodreads review by Doctor

It wasn’t that long ago that conspiracy theories were kind of entertaining. Now they are threatening — threatening to our political lives for sure, but even more broadly to our sense that we know what’s going on in the world. How did that happen? It’s easy to blame social media, and there’s some tru......more

enlightening, funny, serious, speculative, investigative. i found this book strolling through the local library because the title (and cover) caught my attention. and this was a stellar read. it scratched that secret (albeit known) itch I have of journalism and history. the authors take an objective......more
