About this episode

The episode explores the mysterious origins and meanings of crop circles, examining them as a case study in conspiratorial thinking and artistic expression.

Messages from extraterrestrial visitors? Evidence of strange atmospheric conditions? No one knows where crop circles come from or what they mean. Except, we do know, but for believers, that's the start, not the end, of the story. The history of crop circles is a case study in conspiratorial thinking...plus art in wheat fields!
