Every Thursday, about 8:15am, Matthew talks with Ethan and Zac on 95bFM’s “Breakfast Show” about conspiracy theories.
Well, after recording the first segment a whole lot more information has come out about the who (but not really the why) of the Boston Marathon bombing. As such, I thought it prudent to devote another segment to the story that just keeps on generating conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory.
Also, I must apologise for getting Sunil Tripathi’s name wrong. This is what happens when you don’t work from notes but hazy recollections obscured by early morning fugue ((I’m seriously considering going back to working from notes, something I did back in the early days of “The Dentith Files”. I think I need to mix things up a little.)).
