Studio 360 plots to take over the world. Kurt Andersen talks with journalist Jon Ronson about our enduring fascination with conspiracies from black helicoptersto The Da Vinci Code. We’ll visit ConspiracyCon 2005, and we’ll hear about an artist whose enigmatic drawings reveal connections between captains of industry, politicians, and the occasional terrorist. Plus: the Stray Cats’ Brian Setzer tells us about finding a fragment of a lost Rockabilly classic, and what he went through to restore the song.
