Sometimes you need to touch grass and remember that there are no lizard people secretly ruling our world. Other times, shadowy government agents really are out to get you. And still other times, you're like feminist historian Cristen Conger and you start to wonder why women are so often left out of the conspiracy conversation.Cristen Conger is the creator and co-host of the Webby Award-winning podcast Unladylike and cofounder of Unladylike Media. Her accidental podcast life began in 2009 as co-creator and co-host of the podcast Stuff Mom Never Told You, now a part of the iHeartMedia network. She's also the co-author of Unladylike: A Field Guide to Smashing the Patriarchy and Claiming Your Space (Ten Speed Press, 2018), which Kirkus Reviews called “a must-have feminist survival guide for the Trump era.” A former weekend contributor at Refinery29, her writing has also appeared on Jezebel, Huffington Post Women, Bitch Media, xoJane and A Practical Wedding. As a seasoned speaker on gender, feminism and women’s histories, Cristen's connected with audiences ranging from summer campers and museumgoers to uniformed coast guards and on stages from SXSW Interactive and Creative Mornings to MailChimp and The Carter Center.Listen to her new podcast Conspiracy She Wrote out now!Here's some homework for you nerds who love to read:https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/1750698017701615https://apnews.com/article/conspiracy-theory-trump-illuminati-qanon-jan-6-7c1cb3e60748343ad561413534b339a7https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-conspiracy-theory-jfk-941578119864https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/conspiracy-theories-abounded-19th-century-american-politics-180971940/https://www.bbc.com/reel/video/p0chchj8/the-surprising-origins-of-the-modern-conspiracy-theoryhttps://theweek.com/articles/459843/brief-history-conspiracy-theorieshttps://www.forbes.com/sites/rainerzitelmann/2020/06/29/how-many-americans-believe-in-conspiracy-theories/https://www.gq.com/gallery/sexiest-women-conspiracy-theorists"Indecent with Kiki Andersen" is a production of Next Chapter Podcasts.Hosted by Kiki AndersenProduced by Pete Musto & Max WolfsonExecutive produced by Jeremiah TittleFollow the show at @indecentkiki on Instagram and follow Kiki at @itskikiandersenEmail us at [email protected]
