In this episode, I dig into the long, strange lore surrounding America’s most suspicious airport. Denver International has been accused of being a New World Order headquarters, a Nazi occult project, a FEMA death camp, an alien transit hub, and possibly the world’s most elaborate art prank. And through it all, the airport’s official response has been to lean in. To joke about it. To build a marketing campaign that says, “What are we hiding?” and install a talking gargoyle that welcomes travelers to the Illuminati’s western campus.

So the question isn’t just “What’s going on at DIA?” It’s “Why are they so comfortable making it weird?”

From a practical standpoint, it’s just a big airport with bad interior design choices and a few unfortunate coincidences. But the more you look—the deeper you go—the harder it gets to write it all off. Some of it’s easily explained. Some of it’s performance. And some of it… feels off. Like someone built something large and layered and ritualistic, and then left just enough strange details on the surface to distract us from asking the right questions.

Is there a conspiracy under the runways?  Probably not.
 Is there one hiding in the way they invite us to laugh about it? That’s a little harder to answer.

This episode isn’t about proving anything. It’s about what happens when a piece of public infrastructure starts behaving like a puzzle box. When it blurs the line between civic utility and cosmic joke. And when the most disturbing possibility isn’t that the theories are true, but that the people in charge think it’s funny you’re even asking. Welcome to Denver. Don’t touch the keypad.
