We are taking a short break from recording this week so we're re-running a classic Let's Unpack That episode. This episode is all about the QAnon movement: what it was, how it came to be, and the influence it has had on American culture and politics. Plus, Paul and Andrew discuss internet message boards and how conspiracy theories get traction in the mainstream media.

While we no longer hear about QAnon constantly like we did three years ago this topic is still relevant. Many aspects of the conspiracy theory and related beliefs have metastasized in America's political right. We are truly living in a golden age of conspiracies, psyops, and insane bullshit.
