Have you ever wondered whether aliens are out there? Do you dispute the moon landing was real? Have you seen Elvis alive and well in your corner shop?

This week the NerdyBirds talk conspiracy theories. The good, the bad and the poorly evidenced... We discuss what makes them compelling, whether we need proof, and how much it matters that we sometimes feel a bit freaked by them.

From area 51 to the Korean Elevator Game, covering the Mandela Effect and the power of suggestibility, we cover it all and come to some strange conclusions!

Let us know about your favourite or most bizarre conspiracy theory, share whether you believe Avril Lavigne is a clone, and tell us if you too believe that crop circles are alien graffiti.
