The spread of misinformation has fueled our cultural divide and increased our collective anxiety about the future.

Tackling misinformation isn't a simple task, but it's important. And that's why I'm so excited

to tell you about conspiratuality, a podcast that's dismantling New Age cults, wellness grifters,

and conspiracy mad yogis. On the show, a journalist, a cults, wellness grifters, and conspiracy mad yogis.

On the show, a journalist, a cult researcher, and a philosophical skeptic walk into a bar.

And a bartender says, no, no, no, it's not that old joke.

They dive deep into current events such as RFK Jr's involvement in mainstreaming dangerous anti-bax rhetoric.

They crowdsource, research, analyze, and dream up answers to the problem with, get this,

proven science as their ultimate guiding light.

I highly recommend you check out Conspiratuality's fascinating episodes on creating comedy

in the Magaverse with Jordan Klepper or RFK Jr. flirting with body fascism.

And you've listened to a bunch of them at this point, Paul, I know, and you tell me you love it.

I do. They're fascinating. And my favorite part is they use, wait for it, proven science.

And if there's any kids listening, that's a class we used to take. Proven science. Science. And if there's any kids listening, that's a class we used to take.

Proven science as their ultimate guiding light.

I love that.

From exploring cults to analyzing our cultural and political landscape,

the Conspiratuality Podcast will help you stay informed about misinformation

and help you resist fear tactics.

And I'm Sean Marquesie, the real life Lord of the Mark. Every week here at the Prancing Pony podcast, along with Sean or other co-hosts, I explore the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, bringing along lots of pop culture references, plenty of nerd humor, and the occasional bad pun. It's just a couple of friends hanging out at the pub talking about our favorite books. We cover just a few pages every episode, reading important sections of the books, and having a chat about what we've read.

Now, we do a ton of research for each episode so that we can bring as much background information to our conversation as possible. We do all the heavy reading so you don't have to. It's a great way for first-time readers to learn the basics of Tolkien's world. Well, for Middle Earth veterans, it's a deep dive into their favorite stories. Now, the Tolkien fandom is like no other, so we spend time in the community

giving talks at Tolkien events, recording live episodes,
