Project Overview:
The project "Tin Foil Confessions: Escaping The Cult Of Conspiracy" is a limited series podcast and book that aims to explore the rise of conspiracism and its impact on individuals and society. The project will be led by Brent Lee, a former conspiracy theorist, who will draw on his personal experience and insights from experts to provide a comprehensive understanding of the allure of conspiracy theories and the process of disengagement from them.
Project Objectives:

- To utilize both anecdotal and factual approaches to engage and educate the audience, dispelling myths and stereotypes while providing unique insights into the world of conspiracy theorists.
Project Activities:
The project will consist of a limited series podcast and a corresponding book. The podcast will feature personal anecdotes from Brent Lee's 15-year journey as a conspiracy theorist, as well as interviews with experts from various fields, including sociologists, psychologists, and historians.

Expected Outcomes:
- Increased public awareness and understanding of the allure and dangers of conspiracy theories.
