Özet
 Those Conspiracy Guys is a history, comedy and true crime podcast from Ireland produced and presented by Gordon Rochford and the topics discussed are varied and wide-ranging; from the speculations on the out-there conspiracy theories like aliens, time travel, and ancient civilisations to researched discussions on the more grounded, historical and provable conspiracies like political and financial corruption, scientific chicanery and secret government agency shenanigans. In long-form group discussions; interviews with authors and experts; live stage shows and streams with an eager audience; and collaborations with other conspiracy creators; Gordo examines all the wildest notions and most unbelievable theories in the ever broadening genre of 'conspiracy'. From the high-concept topics like inter-dimensional lizard men, complicated assassination plots and potential future technologies like alternative simulated universes; to the much more tangible topics like discussing serial killers and mysterious true crime cases; exploring the history of religions and cult leaders; and historically profiling the lives and times of some of the most influential people to have lived, and died. Those Conspiracy Guys brings you on a light hearted and hilarious exploration of these fantastic stories through thoroughly researched and painstakingly contmeplated production; making it easy and fun for these sometimes heavy and complicated topics to be digested, with lashings of good old irreverend Irish craic from host Gordon Rochford and a cavalcade of hilarious comedians, committed creators and fabulously interesting guests.Gordon Rochford 2026 True Crime World

    S09E04 - Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger
    4 Nov 2026
    DEEP DIVE On this episode we get up to our elbows into the extraordinary, highly controversial and often wildly contradictory story of one of America's most dichotomised social and cultural figureheads; and the organisation she founded to do many more things than the abortions it is now infamous for, this time, we are talking about Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger. Sanger began her crusade for birth control after working as a nurse among impoverished women in New York, witnessing endless pregnancies, dangerous abortions, miscarriages and women with almost no control over their lives and reproductive health. This was all transpiring at a time when even distributing information about contraception could get you arrested and jailed; banged up instead of knocked up! Sanger became one of America's most relentless advocates for women and their sexual destiny; not just with abortion or contraception though. Alongside ideas and writings about sexual freedom, bodily autonomy and reproductive technology that sound astonishingly modern, Sanger was also deeply involved in the eugenics movement and wrote openly about the “feeble-minded” and the scourge of hereditary degeneracy. She was mad for a bit of compulsory sterilisation and discussed at length the qualifications and categories of segregation of people considered unfit to reproduce. On the episode we discuss her literary work; Family Limitation, Motherhood in Bondage, The Pivot of Civilization; and we also hash out the finer details of the American eugenics movement, Roe v. Wade and the infamous Negro Project; asking whether the modern conspiracy notion of a programme designed to eliminate black Americans actually survives contact with the historical record, or whether it my have even done more good than harm. This is a story where reproductive freedom, race, poverty, religion, sex, state power and social engineering become so tangled together that every time you think you've found the good guy or the bad guy, you turn the page and are met with an entirely new set of impossible circumstances. ** You can get this episode AD FREE and in VIDEO with OVER 20 MINS OF EXTRA CONTENT for FREE when you join the TCG PATREON (so many capital letters) and you can find the episode here: and you can sign up and subscribe to a FREE Patreon account, follow TCG and get this episode VIDEO VERSION and loads more.

  • S09E03 - Nikola Tesla Revisited

    S09E03 - Nikola Tesla Revisited
    2 Aug 2026
    DEEP DIVE - On this episode we revisit one of the most revered and wildly enigmatic minds in human history; a pioneering engineer, prolific inventor, bonafide genius and all-round kooky eccentric, whose astonishing ideas, theories and inventions were often so far ahead of their time, they couldn't be realised for another century. Nikola Tesla helped build the modern electronic world, and pretty awesomely became known as the legendary 'Master of Lightning' and yet still, somehow managed to succumb to the typical fate of such an extraordinary personality; to die penniless and alone... despite spending years living in a luxury New York hotel suite and carrying on what can only be described as, a serious long-term relationship with a pigeon. Tale as old as time itself! From Tesla's infamous feud with the nefarious Thomas Edison and the AC/DC War of the Currents to harnessing the mysterious and awesome power of the earth itself to generate global free wireless electricity with his Wardenclyffe Tower; top secret and highly advanced government work at Colorado Springs, getting into a billionaires tiff with J.P. Morgan; missing government files including an Earthquake Machine, a Death Ray and even a device that bends the fabric of space and creates time travelling wormholes, as we explored in our episode on The Philadelphia Experiment. We separate the documented history from the astounding legend and ask whether Nikola Tesla was simply a misunderstood genius... or something greater still; a man whose talent, vision and imagination reached so far into the future that the rest of the world has spent the last hundred years trying to catch up.

  • S09E02 - Lucifer - The Fallen Angel

    S09E02 - Lucifer - The Fallen Angel
    30 Mar 2026
    DEEP DIVE On this long overdue episode we discuss one of the most ancient, most enduring, most flamboyantly theatrical and most misunderstood figures in the entire history of human belief and moral metaphysical experience; a character whose allegedly rancid fingerprints seem to be smeared all over the labours of expressive human consciousness like religion, literature, folklore, politics, psychology, art, propaganda, and pop culture. A name whispered in rebuke in places of holy worship across the world, screamed in terror in horror films, invoked enthusiastically in heavy metal songs, blamed for inexplicable deeds in courtrooms, depicted both lovingly and grotesquely in artistic masterpieces from time immemorial. An intangible notion of evil conjured into existence by generations in need of a villainous character, grand enough to carry the unbearable weight of human cruelty; this episode is all about Lucifer, The Fallen Angel.Also known as The Light Bringer; The Son of the Morning; The Morning Star; The Prince of Darkness; The Father of Lies; Big Red; Satan; Shai'tan; The Devil; Beelzebub; and Ba'al — before we even begin we are ankle deep in centuries of mistranslation, theological overlap, mythological repetition, political propaganda, ecclesiastical censorship and the kind of cultural rumour mill that turns symbols into people, metaphors into monsters, and old allegories into absolute truths.We ask is Lucifer actually Satan? Is Satan a name, a title, a job description, an inherited office held by many? Is the Devil a literal supernatural being in active rebellion against God, or a psychological archetype set as the final boss at the conclusion of a debauched life? This antitheistic ruler of the underworld exists in one form or another in civilisation after civilisation; Ancient Greece had Hades, Egypt had Osiris, and every ancient culture had a named and feared CEO of the place below. What purpose did a figure like this serve, and how did this nebulous character become so intertwined in a duality with the forces of creation?Lucifer operates as a scapegoat for human suffering and an external motivator for our more debaucherous proclivities, were these the purposes of Lucifer's creation? Not only did he get saddled with the responsibility of all of humanity's misdeeds, but he also served as a cautionary tale for those who might deign to defy God's will. Cast from Heaven for disobeying God (really he was just giving feedback, right?), he began a divine mutiny resulting in a war in the heavens and the banishment of one third of all the angels. This rebellious character stands as a perpetual poster boy for insubordination.This episode is absolutely not the final word on Lucifer, Satan, Evil, Hell, The Underworld, Fallen Angels and/or Demons, or the thousands of years of theological, mystical, philosophical and literary debate surrounding all of those things. But we are having the craic discussing one of the most maligned and misunderstood concepts of human goodness versus human nature, and the notions of good and bad, evil and righteous, and Holy vs 'Satanic'. Whether you believe in an actual Devil or a real life embodiment of a Satan in your theological environment, an aware person living today cannot deny the existence of human evil.So many things have come to light since recording this episode that underscore the necessity for an ephemeral figure like Satan — a creature that embodies the nature of badness. A character archetype we can pour all our heartlessness, savagery, cruelty, ruthlessness, spite, and jealousy into, so that we, humanity, can live without the crushing guilt that the propensity for inhumanity lives inside us. You can't spell inhumanity without human!_________________________You can get this episode AD FREE and in VIDEO with EXTRA CONTENT for FREE when you join the TCG PATREON (so many capital letters) and you can find the episode here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/s09e02-lucifer-153731364 or by ⁠clicking here⁠ and you can sign up for a FREE Patreon account, follow TCG and get this and loads more.

Love, love, love those conspiracy guys, great podcast to listen to no matter the mood or occasion. End up bursting out laughing whilst trying to go to sleep. Well worth a listen luckily found this on Spotify and I've never looked back. Had a patreon account for a while but unfortunately can't afford it right now so wanted to give 5 stars and recommended to all. My mum even said they are good to listen to whilst dosing off, I think it's the soothing Irish accent. Give it a listen you will not regret it.

I’ve given them enough episodes now to realise they spend the first 30min talking about nothing.. get to the bloody topic! Rubbish

Just rambling about anything but the topic.

Have been listening to these guys for years now. The stuff gets you thinking and the banter is funny enough to cause you to laugh yourself awake. That’s only if you do manage to fall asleep.

A dream for the nervous, insomniac.

The presentation style is top class and you feel like you're in the room with them having the craic. You can disagree with every view in this show and still be in tears laughing at the humour Gordo and his guests bring to the table. Eleven out of ten.

Best Podcast Ever

I have listened to this podcast for years and have thoroughly enjoyed 99% of the content and I have only skipped stories on subjects I have no interest in. That said I have noticed, in my opinion a slow slide towards incredulity. In the episode on Project Mockingbird I felt like his guests were rightly questioning his sanity. comparing Trudeau with Hitler was simply too far. I have seen this happen 2 or 3 times before with "Gordo" and those guests disappeared into the mists of time. Let's hope he course corrects
