Baseless Conspiracies Ep. 198: Stephen King, John Lennon, and the Fang Fang Files
Description
Jon Herold and Zak Paine kick things off with fresh Fang Fang document drops, digging into some genuinely eyebrow raising details about a certain congressman's staff interviews and just how much got quietly swept under the rug when that whole scandal wrapped up.
Then the guys settle in for the night's main event, a decades old theory claiming horror novelist Stephen King was secretly behind one of the most infamous assassinations in music history. It's got hidden codes in magazine covers, mismatched glasses, a self published pamphlet, and a level of commitment from its original author that even Jon and Zak can't help but admire, even as they pick apart just how far the logic actually holds up. Buckle up for one of the more unhinged deep dives the show has done in a while, complete with the usual sponsor breaks and banter to keep things grounded.
