The Full Story
About Dani
Dani Mercy was raised in Denver, Colorado, where she developed a deep love for color guard during her high school years. After graduating, she joined the Navy—not on a ship, but in the skies. Dani served as an In-Flight Technician on EP-3E aircraft until being medically retired in 2018.
​
Uncertain of her next steps and knowing that traditional paths like college weren’t the right fit, Dani found herself drawn to storytelling. In 2020, she launched her first podcast, Being a Woman Sucks, with a friend. Though short-lived, the experience sparked something bigger. After a road trip revealed the lack of conspiracy theory podcasts in the style she wanted to hear, she decided to make her own.
​
On February 2, 2022, The Rabbit Hole podcast officially launched. Since then, it has grown to over 5 million downloads and earned Dani the Women Podcasters Award in the Documentary category in 2025. With a mix of curiosity, skepticism, and fearless storytelling, Dani has built a dedicated following and cemented her voice in the world of podcasting.
Mission
The Rabbit Hole exists to explore the stories, suspicions, and secrets that live beneath the surface of mainstream narratives. Our mission is to dive deep into conspiracy theories—past and present—with curiosity, integrity, and critical thinking. We aim to challenge assumptions, spark thoughtful conversations, and give listeners a space to question the official story without judgment. This podcast is for the open-minded, the skeptics, and the seekers—because sometimes, the truth is stranger than fiction.
Stay Skeptical
A skeptic is someone who:
​
1) Questions or doubts accepted opinions or claims, especially those that lack evidence.
​
2) Approaches information with critical thinking, requiring proof before believing something to be true.
3) Often challenges the status quo, mainstream narratives, or conventional wisdom.
