In the opening episode of this new show Tom explores the question of conspiracy theories and the roles they can play and effects they can have, both good and bad. He offers the case study of a documentary about a teenager who tried to incite his own murder through an internet chatroom, and draws out some parallels between that story and how people engage with conspiracy theories. He also explains a little about what to expect from the show as it progresses, and asks for your opinions and answers to this question.
