Zach Mack and his dad are living in separate realities, and it’s tearing their family apart.
Like so many Americans, Zach’s dad has gotten swept up in conspiracy theories. After years of circular arguments, the father challenged his son to a bet: $10,000 on ten politically apocalyptic predictions that would all happen in 2024.
In this three-part series, we follow Zach on an intimate journey to bring his father back from the rabbit hole.
All episodes will be available for NPR+subscribers on February 21 and for all listeners on February 23.
