Those Conspiracy Guys is a history, comedy and true crime podcast from Ireland produced and presented by Gordon Rochford and the topics discussed are varied and wide-ranging; from the speculations on the out-there conspiracy theories like aliens, time travel, and ancient civilisations to researched discussions on the more grounded, historical and provable conspiracies like political and financial corruption, scientific chicanery and secret government agency shenanigans. In long-form group discussions; interviews with authors and experts; live stage shows and streams with an eager audience; and collaborations with other conspiracy creators; Gordo examines all the wildest notions and most unbelievable theories in the ever broadening genre of 'conspiracy'. From the high-concept topics like inter-dimensional lizard men, complicated assassination plots and potential future technologies like alternative simulated universes; to the much more tangible topics like discussing serial killers and mysterious true crime cases; exploring the history of religions and cult leaders; and historically profiling the lives and times of some of the most influential people to have lived, and died...

Richard Speck
TRUE CRIME -
On this episode of Those Conspiracy Guys we talk about one of the original spree killers and a man for whom the term 'evil' could be appropriately administered; Richard Speck. Speck killed 8 nurses in their dormitory in the Summer of 1966 and marked his place in history as one of the most brutal humans to ever live.
Speck was born to raise hell and showed this from an early age. His manipulate and abusive step-father got Richard into bad habits early and before long he was committing petty crimes and being arrested. His first sexual assaults and even murders went largely unpunished and he was blessed with lucky escapes from the law by moving around the US
Speck took his hostages and raped and murdered them over the course of an evening; one witness was left to idenitfy the crazed killer though. Cora Amurao, a nurse, was left alive to finger Speck in the dock while on trial. Speck was also featured in the recent crime drama Mindhunter and remains one of the most famous murderers of all time.
