Today we bring you our first Vanishing Point bonus episode! In this episode, we decided to take a trip down the internet rabbit hole and read some conspiracy theories about the Isabella Stewart Gardner Heist. We explore how conspiracies come to fruition, discuss some favorites, and then explore some theories about Harvard University, FBI agents gone rogue, underwater art vaults, and stolen De Koonings. Thanks for listening!
For even more bonus fun, take a drink every time Emma says "proliferate".
“Those who can make people believe absurdities, can make people commit atrocities.”
