© 2023 The Big Topic Show
Description
Big Topic is a weekly show hosted by two uninformed investigators. They select a topic each week, perform minimal research, and break it down for the people. Strap in, the topics are BIG. When it comes to topics that these subject matter amateurs cover, size DOES matter. Nothing is off limits - conspiracy theories, urban legends, cryptozoology, true crime, 90s/2000s nostalgia, mysteries, significant historical events, oddities, etc. Come hang with the boys and listen / watch as they stumble and laugh through their weekly discussion. Visit youtube.com/@bigtopic for videos of every episode!
