Kirby's first series was described by The Guardian as: "...occasionally feeling like a PowerPoint presentation by the world's most coked-up history professor." While Kirby's documentary style is satisfyingly fast paced his conversational style is deliberate and demonstrative.\r\nKirby's current series, This Is Not A Conspiracy Theory, explores the ideas, events, and human quirks that contribute to the modern political landscape. Kirby's process is as intriguing as his videos and in the second half of the interview I explore his unique approach to his work.\r\nOur discussion included but was not limited to:\r\n\r\nThe important difference between work and practice.\r\nThe difference between a conspiracy and a conspiracy theory.\r\nHow the internet can help convince us that we're right.\r\nThe human desire to see meaning in patterns.\r\nHow Copy-Transform-Combine is the core of the creative process.\r\nKirby explains the benefits of releasing his work episodically.\r\n\r\nEnjoy the episode.
