About

Optophobia is the fear of opening one’s eyes. Our show encourages you to move beyond that fear. To solve riddles they don’t want us to unriddle. To explode supposedly ironclad truths. To exhume evidence, buried for so long they believed it would stay buried. Each season we tackle a new investigation into what is often dismissively called a “conspiracy theory,” and each week a new guest weighs in. Are you bored by the lies? Open your eyes.
