Harpa once contemplated whether having her kid vaccinated was a good idea. At some point, Alex was persuaded his own country did not exist.

Tune in and listen to @Brandon Mitchener draw on his journalistic and comms experience to untangle this concept; explain why you should never trust your mum when she says she loves you; highlight the costs that misinformation brings to society; describe why it is so hard to fight fake news; and lay down some interesting solutions on how to tackle one of the most pressing issues of our modern society.
