Hello, conspiratuality listeners.

This bonus sample comes to you from our Early Access Patreon collection called Swan Song

Series, in which we examine the historical and cultural roots that inform and fuel the

teal swan spectacle.

The full version of this episode will show up on this feed sometime in the future, but

if you'd like to hear it now and support our growing research and publishing initiatives,

please pledge $5 a month at patreon.com slash conspiratuality for access to this and hundreds

of hours of bonus media.
