In this episode I'm joined by Dr Daniel Jolley, a Senior Lecturer at Northumbria University. His expertise is in the psychology of conspiracy theories. The guest comedian is Juan Miles. We discuss what people are drawn to about conspiracy theories, how to talk to someone who has become a conspiracy theorist and how this all could be stopped if people remembered to hug their kids and encouraged runners. You can learn more about Dr Daniel Jolley and his work on his website (www.danieljolley.co.uk) or Twitter (@DrDanielJolley).
