| 9/1/26 | Forgotten Music Festival Disasters | 72 | Ever wonder what happens when a music festival goes spectacularly wrong? This time, we look back at some of the worst and most forgotten festival disasters in rock history. From the drug-fueled chaos of Powder Ridge and the deadly Celebration of Life Festival to the infamous Erie Canal Soda Pop Festival and other ill-fated events, these are cautionary tales of poor planning, bad decisions, and crowds spiralling out of control. Long before Fyre Festival and Astroworld, there were plenty of music festival meltdowns that have largely been lost to history. Time to revisit them. Learn more about your ad choices.

| 8/18/26 | Music's Greatest Conspiracies: Part 4 "Paul is Dead" | 71 | Did Paul McCartney really die in 1966 and get replaced by a lookalike? Of course not...but that didn't stop millions of people from believing it. This time, we dive into the wild history of the "Paul Is Dead" hoax, examining the clues fans found in Beatles songs, album artwork, and hidden messages. Let's unpack how a campus rumour grew into one of the most famous conspiracy theories in pop culture history. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices | 37m 56s | ||||||
| 8/4/26 | Music's Greatest Conspiracies: Part 3 | 70 | You can't believe everything you read. You can't believe everything you see online. And if some conspiracy theorists are right, you can't even trust your favourite songs. In Part 3 of Music's Greatest Conspiracies, we take a journey through some of the music world's strangest rabbit holes. Is the standard 440 Hz tuning of modern music actually a tool for mind control? Did JonBenét Ramsey somehow grow up to become Katy Perry? Was the Laurel Canyon scene influenced by intelligence agencies? And did shadowy forces help push rock music out of the spotlight at the end of the 1990s? Along the way, we'll look at government surveillance of punk rock, theories surrounding Sid Vicious, rumours about Lady Gaga, the mystery of Andrew W.K., and whether today's viral "industry plants" are really just clever marketing in the age of social media. Some of these stories contain a grain of truth. Others are completely wild. But all of them reveal something about our fascination with fame, power, hidden agendas, and the search for answers behind the music we love. Just don't blame us if you start looking at your playlist a little differently afterward. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices | 34m 15s | ||||||
