This time on Uncharted, we dive headfirst into music’s most enduring, outrageous, and fascinating conspiracy theories. From ancient Rome to Cold War spycraft, from blues legends to gangsta rap, we break down why conspiracy thinking exists, how a kernel of truth can grow into a full-blown myth, and where the evidence actually leads.
