A suggestion, or let's be honest: a demand you'll hear from people is to do your own research. Before we get to far into the series it's a good idea to examine how to actually do that and not end up throwing yourself down a rabbit hole.

I'm getting in late on the game but I wanted to cover modern day conspiracies with a bit of depth and some light research. This should be something you can quickly listen to and get a decent understanding of what the conspiracy is, how it started, what the outcomes of it are, and how to deal with it.
