Join journalist and broadcaster David Aaronovitch at the RSA as he carefully probes and explodes a dozen of the major conspiracy theories of the modern era.
In doing so, he looks at why our age is obsessed by the idea of conspiracy, asks why quality newspapers and series TV channels are prepared to give these theories credence, and outlines his argument for a true scepticism: one based on a thorough knowledge of history and a strong dose of common sense.
Chair: Matthew Taylor, chief executive, RSA
