That's the thing that scares me about this podcast tbh. Is there maybe a book I can read that has this thesis laid out in a more organized way?

Idk if anyone else specifically shares this thesis, but I believe they have all the works cited on their website? Which I think is hellonearth.com?

It's a shakedown.

The domain owner had some old blog that is sitting on potentially valuable domain name. Looks like this podcast offered them $500 for the domain (guessing based on the timing but there are other projects with similar names including Doom 2, a documentary and a book series) which they thought was too low. They have made the site into a splash page of offensive images for anyone looking for the pod in order to incentivize Mat to pay more to avoid reputation damage. In order to prevent any legal take over of the domain they have created a plausibly deniable facade of it being an inoffensive art work.
