ConspiraTea Podcast

Aliens, Lucifer, the New World Order, Esoteric Religious Beliefs, Orgone Receptors, a Strange Murder, Celebrity Reptilians, this cult has just about everything! This week we're delving into the strange conspiracy beliefs of Sherry Shriner and her Virtual Reptilian Cult. Disclaimer: We discuss this a bit in the episode, but just to make it perfectly clear, the term "reptilians" is often an anti-Semitic dog whistle for certain groups both online and in real life. Please be wary of any group talking about "reptilians" for this specific reason.

Warning: this episode is pretty gross, and pretty gruesome. Don't blame us, we didn't tell Albert Fish to be a weird, pedophiliac serial killer with a penchant for cannibalism. That's right, this episode we're suppressing our gag reflexes long enough to cover a serial killer somehow more disgusting than Richard Chase. Albert Fish famously indulged in "every sort of vice known to man," including spanking himself with a studded paddle in front of his kids until he bled and sticking needles all up in his body.

Looking for some escapism from constant coronavirus coverage? Would you like to hear about some other, way worse pandemics? Of course you do! In this episode we're tackling some of the worst times in humanity: from smallpox to cholera to the Black Death herself. Hear how mankind managed to conquer these diseases and pandemics, and find out why we're all struggling to get ahead of this one. As always, we'll discuss some fun stuff, like how our spouses are (maybe) accidentally trying to poison us.

Are you familiar with the man behind these quotes: "Sex is the sacred song of the soul; Sex is the sanctuary of Self," "The key of joy is disobedience," and of course "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law." This episode, we're going in-depth on a man whose writings have influenced the majority of - if not all - esoteric thought for the past century. Aleister Crowley is iconic for choosing to stand out and speak out without apology or hesitation, and we'll discuss how a bratty, spoiled English boy named Edward Alexander Crowley became the epochal Aleister Crowley.

Social distancing problems require social distancing solutions! We love telling creepypasta stories so much we decided to do ONE MORE creepypasta episodes for y'all! Listen on to find out how to deal with dead bodies that won't stay dead, wives who have ghostly doppelgangers, and a woman possessed by demons trying to bring the Antichrist into the world. Listener beware, you're in for a scare-y good time! Let's keep in touch during this socially distant time: Check out our Insta - @ConspiraTeaPodcastAtl Chat with us on Twitter - @TheConspiraTea Send us a fun email - conspirateapod@gmail.com

(*NOTE* this episode was recorded before the pandemic! Don't worry, we are all still social distancing like champs!) What happens when a bunch of anime nerds starve themselves and infiltrate a police force? A deadly sarin gas attack, killing 13 people and injuring thousands. Yeah, turns out when a guy claims to be the "Lamb of God", forces you to buy his bathwater (AND BLOOD) to drink, and constantly preaches about the end of the world, he probably has some nefarious tricks up his sleeve. Join us this episode to learn the most metal (no pun intended) way we've heard a cult dispose of their enemies yet and why anime nerds shouldn't be trusted.

Back by popular demand (for real, y'all love some spooky spaghetti), we're doing another creepypasta episode! Get ready for interdimensional diners, makeshift graves, and how to lose your soul in an abandoned church. Because of the need for social distancing, we Skyped in for this episode so the quality isn't as good as usual, but we think that just makes these pastas even creepier. The tea we're sippin' on: a variety actually (we didn't coordinate this time) but we still highly recommend getting yourself some August Uncommon teas to soothe yourself during this trying time.

From 1979-1981, Atlanta was crippled by a devastating series of murders targeting young, black kids. In the two year period, 28 children lost their lives. So who was responsible? A suspect was convicted, but is he guilty of all the murders? Some of the murders? None of them? Join us as we discuss a true crime story that hits very close to home for us. And let us know what you believe *really* happened! The tea we're sippin' on: Capri by August Uncommon (https://august.la/collections/tea/products/capri) Bored during the quarantine?

As far as ghost stories go, they don't get much more interesting than the Bell Witch. If you want to hear about a ghost who sang songs, mimicked voices, and recited Bible verses for fun, you'll love hearing about Kate and her many bouts of trickery. There truly has never been a haunting like this one.

Happy Black History Month! Just like Pride Month, we're celebrating by covering a tragedy. Is it easier to believe MLK Jr was shot by a rogue white supremacist? Sure. But the truth should be more important to us than what's easy. We dissect the possibility that the FBI and the US government lied and covered up the true events that ended in the assassination of one of the twentieth century's greatest leaders. We also talk about fun stuff! Like our caffeine intake and, y'know, how important voting is.

What do you get when you combine God, Jesus, Lucifer, and Satan? A beautiful mélange of black turtlenecks, Satan-based coffeeshops, trippy magazines, silver cross necklaces, and German shepherds. (yes, after we recorded this podcast we looked up what "Alsatians" were and apparently it's another name for German shepherds. It's not our fault the Brits have to use a ridiculous word for everything [true story, our British fans refer to us as the "ConsipsyTipsy PodsyWodsy"]) We also talk about everyone's favorite topic for family dinners: politics. Mostly about how ridiculous everything is now.

The most prolific serial killer in American history—and you've probably never heard of him. We go over how he got started, how he managed to kill women across the country for forty years, and what he did when he was finally caught, Don't worry, we also talk about fun stuff.

This week we're doing a bite-sized version of our regular content with our very first Minisode! We're talking about the murder of Albert Snyder—and what makes it more interesting than your usual "cuck husband killed by wife and boyfriend" case. This story comes to us from the book Crimes and Punishments: A Pictorial Encyclopedia of Aberrant Behavior.

This week we cover a group who managed to merge sci-fi, web development, nerd-chic aesthetics, and fad diets waaaaay before current inhabitants of Silicon Valley had coded their first MySpace page. While today Heaven's Gates is mostly known for their mass suicide in 1997, the group is a lot more interesting than you think. We go over the beginnings of the cult, how they blurred the lines between science fiction and religion (did you know the Virgin Mary was impregnated on an alien spaceship?), and how they used the invention of the World Wide Web to their advantage. We also discuss the various characters in Shameless, everything we love about Anna Nicole Smith, the difference between Right-Hand and Left-Hand Path Magick, and how the Internet used to be fun. Also, we're continuing our campaign to get Tom DeLonge on the podcast! Let's talk about aliens! The tea we're drinking: Cult of Demeter by August Uncommon Teas.

Hopefully, you've gotten your fill of Thanksgiving food by now because this is *not* an episode to listen to while you're eating! Even among the insanity of California in the '70s, Richard Chase stands out. There's a reason he's called the Vampire Killer of Sacramento, and we'll go over why - in excruciating detail. Don't worry! We also talk about fun stuff too, like politics!

There's a reason New Orleans is known as the Most Haunted City in America. It would take us hours to go over every haunted place in the city, even if we just focused on the French Quarter. So instead, for this third week of Spooktober, we're going over one of the most haunted places in New Orleans: The Andrew Jackson Hotel. We discuss its history, its ghosts, and why you should ABSOLUTELY stay in Room 208. Since it's the spooky season, we also discuss our favorite horror movies, how Renee wants to die, and all of the (totally real) festivals Liz saw in Alabama. Love hearing us scream about ghosts? By us a coffee (or tea!) at: ko-fi.com/conspirateapodcastatl (pretty please, we are very thirsty binches) Tune in next week for some frightful farfalle, some terrifying tagliatelle, some ominous orzo......next week, on Halloween, it's our Creepypasta episode!

Welcome to the second week of Spooktober where we're *pressed to death* to discuss our spiritual mothers (maybe): The witches of Salem. Specifically, the trials they went through. You may have heard of it. There was a play. And a movie. And a book or two. But did any of them focus on how sexy Bridget Bishop was? (also, maybe) You can also hear us discuss how great Great British Bake Off is, how much we love Autumn/Fall, and how we're still trying to get Tom DeLonge on the podcast. Love hearing us talk/cackle/screech? Buy us a coffee (or tea!): https://ko-fi.com/conspirateapodcast (pretty please, we are three Very Thirsty Bitches)

For week one of Spooktober, we put on our tinfoil hats and get past the hype around Area 51 to get into WHY there's hype around Area 51. What can you expect? Black helicopters, secret FBI documents, and Tom DeLonge. Plus plenty more! Tea We're Sipping On: Green Tea (duh.) Love our podcast?

A gorgeous, lakeshore manor, a murdered heiress, and an additional murder by candlestick. No, we didn't pull this story from the pages of an Agatha Christie novel. Join us this week as we go over the murders at Glensheen Mansion and the ensuring handling (and mishandling) of justice. Our Tea: Pumpkin Spice Chai with Almond Milk (because we're celebrating Autumn damnit! And we wanted a nice, plush drink since we were talking about an extravagant manor) We also discuss other light-hearted topics such as.....our own inevitable deaths.....and how much we want to go ghost-hunting in New Orleans.

Five years ago, an altercation with the NYPD led to an illegal chokehold and the death of a father, son, husband, and community leader. This week, we examine the events leading up to the murder of Eric Garner and how the aftermath affected Ramsey Orta, the man who filmed the encounter. We also discuss our favorite Disney Channel Halloween movies, the Mary Kate and Ashley Pizza Party we're going to plan for ourselves, and how we express (or don't express) our emotions.

Ever wanted to just have an hour to yourself during the day? How would you feel about 23? Join us this week as we dive into the philosophy, torture, and hauntings in Eastern State Penitentiary, the first prison of its kind. Based on the premise that prisoners would become "penitent" if they were forced to live in solitary confinement and ruminate of what they'd done, ESP was constructed so the inmates would have zero contact with other prisoners. Shockingly, this didn't produce the desired result. We also discuss Liz's encounter with a cult, Renee's various paranormal experiences throughout the years, and the many ways the universe has been bitch-slapping Katie these past few weeks.

By now everyone's heard the colloquialism, "Drinking the Kool-Aid", but there is much more to Jonestown—and Jim Jones—than how it all ended. Join us this week as we start our Two Part series on Jonestown and discuss the early life, philosophical beliefs, narcissism, and social activism of Jim Jones. We also have Katie's husband Shawn as a guest on this episode (and we're pretty sure he regretted it the entire time)! We force him listen to us talk about live-action Disney remakes, our pets, and our terrible Cher impressions.

What do you get when you combine the design expertise of Ed Gein with the culinary skills of Jeffrey Dahmer? One of the most gruesome crime scenes Australian police had ever seen. Join us this week as we go over the case regarding Australia's only woman to ever receive a life sentence without the possibility of release, Katherine Knight. We also discuss how each of us charges our crystals during the full moon(Katie continues to be an agent of chaos), how much we miss MySpace, and how much we love soccer (players).

When "Justice" is rushed, investigation is stilted, evidence is overlooked, and—typically—easy targets punished while the true criminal goes free. Join us for an insight into the climate and culture of New York City in the late 80's, and a discussion of all the elements that combined to create one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in our current lifetime—plus an examination of the lasting effects. We also go over our love for Meryl Streep, our various pets, and why Liz could never be president!

Matcha lattes, mediation, ballet, yoga.....what could go wrong? Sadly, a lot. Join us this week on ConspiraTea as we unpack the Buddhafield Cult, a group that was seemingly perfect—until it wasn't. This week we're sipping on delicious Matcha Lattes, so feel free to make your own and drink with us! Also, since the recording of this episode we discovered that the Cult Awareness Network is now owned by the Church of Scientology, so we will not be linking to it for obvious reasons! However, if you or someone you know is in an abusive situation, click here for resources: https://www.rainn.org/national-resources-sexual-assault-survivors-and-their-loved-ones ALSO, the cult we were trying to think of was NXIVM. They're pretty creepy, too.

It's the 25th anniversary of Nicole Brown Simpson's murder, so we're covering a case that's strikingly similar with an unfortunately similar outcome. If you haven't heard about Cullen Davis, get ready to get angry. We also cover our feelings about the new season of Black Mirror, all the old-lady shows we watch, and how everything is bigger in Texas—even the nicknames!
