About Nathan Radke

Nathan Radke’s work focuses on conspiracy theories, misinformation, and how individuals and institutions can think clearly in an age of information overload.

Along with Dr. Lee Kuhnle, Radke is the co-host of the long-running podcast The Uncover Up, which explores the strange, fascinating, and often troubling world of conspiracy claims—from UFO sightings and secret government projects to viral internet hoaxes and modern disinformation campaigns. Through historical investigation and critical analysis, the show examines why conspiratorial narratives emerge, why they spread so effectively, and how they shape public understanding of the world.

In addition to his academic work, Radke is a frequent media commentator on conspiracy theories, misinformation, and the psychology of belief. He has appeared on radio, television, and podcasts across Canada, helping audiences understand how misleading claims gain traction and how critical thinking can help people navigate an increasingly complex information landscape.

His book, Uncover Up: Thinking Clearly in an Age of Conspiracy (ECW Press), explores the cultural history and psychological appeal of conspiracy theories, and offers practical tools for evaluating extraordinary claims in an era of viral misinformation.
