In before anyone assumes I’m making a blanket statement: Not all podcasters are crackpots, but all crackpots seem to have a podcast.

Nah, back then you bought a microphone and broadcast your conspiracies via Citizen Band radio.
Oh, boy, that brings back memories of being a teenager in the early 90s. Grandpa gifted me his old CB, got it setup and tuned in, and immediately turned it off.
It’s just that back then, those people weren’t glamorized with fancy titles like “podcaster” or “influencer”. They were just garden variety cranks everyone knew to just ignore.
We didn’t call them influencers, but people like Glenn Beck and Billy Graham were absolutely influencers. My parents whole church hung on their every word, so you really can’t say everybody knew to ignore it either lol.
