What happened to The Conspiracy Show radio program?
The Conspiracy Show, later renamed Strange Planet aired for 13 years on Zoomer Radio AM 740 in Toronto, Sunday nights at 11pm eastern. The show was also syndicated in about 40 markets beginning in the summer of 2012. The final show aired in late August of 2022. It was a great ride and I enjoyed every minute of it, but all good things must eventually come to an end. I decided to end the show in order to focus my attention and energy on my other projects, including my podcast, Richard Syrett's Strange Planet, guest-hosting Coast to Coast AM, my YouTube channel, @StrangePlanetRadio, and my daily afternoon drive-home show, The Richard Syrett Show on Sauga 960 AM.
How can I listen to Coast to Coast AM if I live in Canada?
I continue to receive emails from my fans in Canada who are unable to listen to Coast to Coast AM. At the beginning of the COVID pandemic, nearly all, if not all, of Coast's Canadian affiliates stopped broadcasting Coast to Coast AM. The best way to listen to Coast now, if you live in Canada, is to stream it either on your tablet or smartphone. First, I'd advise you to download any one of several apps that allow you to stream radio programs. Simple Radio or TuneIn are two with which I am familiar. Next, go to the Coast to Coast AM website (www.coasttocoastam.com) and in the top menu bar find MEDIA. Click on MEDIA and then select STATIONS. Find an affiliate station that carries Coast by clicking on any of the states and choose one of the stations that are listed. For example, you could click on "Kentucky" and choose WKCT-AM 930 Bowling Green. Next, go to your Simple Radio or TuneIn app and find WKCT-AM 930 and select it. Now you can listen to Coast to Coast AM live every night on your phone or tablet. The Mighty Aphrodite listens to Coast on WKCT-AM 930.

Whatever Happened to your TV program, The Conspiracy Show?
Starting in 2010, I created, wrote, co-produced and hosted a documentary style television program called The Conspiracy Show. My crew and I travelled across North America and to the UK and produced about 60 episodes on conspiracies, UFOs, cryptids and the paranormal. The series aired for four seasons on Vision TV across Canada. The series was also sold internationally and was seen in The United States, Australia, parts of Europe, Africa and Asia. The show is no longer in production. Click here to watch all of the episodes.
