S2/E10: Every Famous Person Who Dies Is on a Beach Somewhere And I Wouldn't Blame Them, But No

The post-election conspiracy surge has reached its logical endpoint and also how I want to end this season: Elvis is alive. And now he has company; at least four major celebrities faked their deaths last month and are currently living under assumed identities somewhere warm. Today I want to talk about why our brains resist finality, how celebrity culture has always generated mythology around death, and how I traced one of the internet's favourite 'proof' photos back to its original source. Let's take a trip, this one is almost more entertaining than the conspiracy itself.
