Our take on Death by Conspiracy? podcast

Death by Conspiracy is hosted by the BBC's disinformation reporter Marianna Spring. She looks into the death of Gary Mathews and all the disinformation that surrounds the COVID-19 pandemic. Mathew had been part of an anti-establishment group that believed COVID didn't exist. As a result, he failed to take all the necessary precautions to protect himself from the virus. Unfortunately, that negligence resulted in his death. Marianna Spring talks to Gary Mathews' friends, members of his local community and his family. She also talks to Charlie Parker, a conspiracy theorist who believes the virus does not exist and was also friends with the late Gary.
