Podcasts about Disinformation

In recent months, public health advocates in the United States have raised concerns about proposed changes to vaccine policy, cuts to food assistance programs, rollbacks of environmental protections and reductions in public health staffing. Chief among them has been Dr. Georges Benjamin who, as executive director of the American Public Health Association (APHA) since 2002, has led national efforts to create a healthier America. Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith recently sat down with Dr. Benjamin to understand more about the current state of public health and explore the path forward, and learned that a top priority for APHA is battling the misinformation that Dr. Benjamin believes is fueling support for many of these changes. “The challenge we have right now is that as a society, we've gone into our little corners and live in our own ecosystems. More people are getting their information from a single source and they're not validating that information to make sure that it's true.” Tune into this thoughtful and timely conversation to hear Dr. Benjamin's advice for curbing the spread of misinformation, how APHA is trying to help people understand the value of public health initiatives, and what the U.S. can learn from other countries about improving public health. Mentioned in this episode:American Public Health Association If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Thomas Hughes, CEO of Appeals Centre Europe, explains out-of-court dispute settlement bodies (ODS bodies) and the role they play in the Digital Services Act. We discuss Appeals Centre Europe's first Transparency Report*, which provides an initial glimpse into how Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube are handling requests from ODS bodies. We cover some top line descriptives from the Centre's first year: how many disputes were submitted, from which platform, and what types of content they were about. We also talk about 'signposting' and how the platforms are communicating their digital rights to users.*Just a friendly heads up that the report is 25MB, so you may want to download it on WiFi! 

Did you know that your* government has run official, formal, propaganda campaigns against its own citizens to spread disinformation. They have manipulated media, created bot account farms to sow discontent, and created smear campaigns - all in the name of "political strategy". "Remember kids, the next time someone tries to tell you the government wouldn't do that, oh yes, yes they would." If they want you to distrust your neighbor, don't buy in. Distrust the government, instead.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

In the 2010s Putin's Russia was quick to realise the potential of disinformation to undermine its enemies in the West. A complex ecosystem including now-banned propaganda TV station RT and troll factories like the Internet Research Agency used social media to sow distrust, spread fake news, distort elections and encourage a cynical culture of politicised snark. But according to Dr Precious Chatterje-Doody, co-author of Russia, Disinformation and the Liberal Order: RT as Populist Pariah, Russia's information polluters aren't as effective as we might think. “The broader problem is the sickness of our media environment,” she tells Alex von Tunzelmann – and the remedy is in our own hands.  • Support us on Patreon for early episodes and more. • Head to nakedwines.co.uk/thebunker to get 6 top-rated wines from our sponsor Naked Wines for £39.99, delivery included. • We are sponsored by Indeed.

The anti-science crusade in the United States extends beyond President Trump's flourishing statements about climate change being a 'con job' and a 'hoax' and claiming links between Tylenol (or paracetamol) and autism. Under the second Trump administration and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, long-standing medical and scientific institutions are being hollowed out and misinformation and disinformation is rife. There are a number of actors who stand to capitalise on this trend, from foreign states like Russia, to big pharma companies and 'wellness' influencers. And experts say it poses an existential threat not just for America, but for the world. In this episode Geraldine Doogue and Hamish Macdonald speak to Radio National's Science Editor Jonathan Webb and prominent vaccine scientist Dr Peter Hotez (co-author with Michael Mann of Science Under Siege) about the forces at play in the global war on science and Dr. Hotez also reveals what it's like to be personally targeted by RFK Jr, Joe Rogan and Elon Musk. Recommendations:Geraldine: Good Night, and Good Luck - 2005 film Hamish: Australian Story - The River (Part 1 and 2) - ABC iViewGet in touch:We'd love to hear from you!

Do you ever think about the inheritance we are leaving our children and grandchildren? Not monetary, but qualities like clean air, access to clean water, healthy food and a safe and nurturing environment to live in. OR are we on the path to guaranteeing them the opposite, where it will be hard to breath, too hot to go outdoors, food insecurity and famine will be rampant, water shortages a common experience, and we could go on. None of us want that, but the decisions we make today, and the actions we take right now, matter, and so we're going to look that future in the eye and call on all adults to get involved in any way we can. Local action does result in global impact. After that, it's time to dig into the news, and of course, unless you live under a rock, we had Trump's speech at the UN, Super Typhoon Ragasa hitting China, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and soon Vietnam and Laos, Tylenol has been blamed for Autism, the Rapture… did it happen (?), the fact we're getting dumber and those Meta glasses ain't going to help, and of course, the fight for free speech continues. That's just a start when it comes to the weeks' news, and we never get through it all, but we give it a go. We are absolutely delighted to welcome Joseph Masembe who hails from Uganda, and he's the CEO and founder of Little Hands Go Green, as well as Regional Director, Climate Change Advocacy, East Africa. A passionate advocate for our children's future, Joseph launched Little Hands Go Green in 2012, as a civil society organization, with a goal to nurture and empower children as the main drivers of environmental conservation education in their schools, homes and communities. Joseph wants to foster a deep-rooted love and passion for the environment among children through engaging and entertaining activities, and get this, they have planted 872,000 trees since they started – amazing! Joseph is a delight, and you will love listening to what he has to share. So please, come and join us, get caught up on the news, get inspired into action, this Friday 26th September 2025, 8am UK, 9am EU, 10am Uganda, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 5pm AEST.

On this episode of The Zach Show, Mick West joins Zach to trace how modern conspiracies form from the Charlie Kirk assassination to UFO lore. They examine social media speed, projection of political fears, and AI's role in amplifying falsehoods such as Grok inventing quotes about the Kirk assassination. Mick shows why high-resolution footage often fails to stop speculation, how theories evolve like viruses, and why people prefer simple enemies. The conversation moves into an analysis of the recent 'Hellfire Missile Vs. UFO' video presented in Congress, parallax, thermal contrast, provenance problems, the rise of UFO cults, how misperception fools even the most experienced pilots, and more. Guest bio: Mick West is a science writer, debunker, and founder of Metabunk.org. Author of Escaping the Rabbit Hole, he specializes in unraveling conspiracy theories and UFO claims. A former video game programmer, Mick co-founded Neversoft and helped create Tony Hawk's Pro Skater before becoming the internet's go-to UFO skeptic. This is only the first half of the episode with Mick West.

Welcome to another episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, Tom and his co-host Drew jump straight into the thick of current societal and political tensions ripping through America—from digital manipulation and global disinformation, to the divisive battles over identity, gender, and violence. Drawing from recent news cycles and online controversies, Tom and Drew dig into how global powers exploit social media to stoke division, and challenge their audience to ground themselves against the rising tide of emotion-driven narratives dominating discourse today. Together, they dissect the psychology and biology behind polarization, fulfillment, and violent tendencies, weaving insights from neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and history. They also address why anger is such a motivating force—and such a dangerous one when unchecked—while mapping the intersections of male identity, cultural radicalization, gender roles, and the persistent confusion of contemporary masculinity. Part 1 promises a candid, unflinching look at how our minds, biology, and society collide, and why understanding our “biological experience” is essential to navigating the chaos of the modern world.

Online harassment of political figures in Canada is on the rise. Nearly half of campaign-related tweets are uncivil or abusive, discouraging diverse candidates and eroding trust in democracy. In this episode, Host Anthony Giroux (Law Student at the University of Montreal) speaks with Sabreena Delhon (CEO of the Samara Centre for Democracy) and Dr. Heidi Tworek (Canada Research Chair and Professor of History and Public Policy at the University of British Columbia). Together, they explore how disinformation, targeted and identity-based harassment, and algorithm-driven amplification are reshaping democratic participation in Canada. The discussion examines the specific challenges faced by women, racialized, and 2SLGBTQ+ candidates, the role of bots and foreign influence in spreading abuse, and the constitutional tension between free expression and curbing online hate. Delhon explains how SAMbot tracks toxic discourse during elections, while both guests reflect on solutions—from party protocols and platform moderation to policy reforms and community-driven responses—that could help safeguard trust, representation, and inclusion in Canadian democracy.   Guests Sabreena Delhon, Chief Executive Officer, Samara Centre for Democracy Dr. Heidi Tworek, Canada Research Chair and Professor of History and Public Policy, University of British Columbia Host Anthony Giroux, Law Student, Faculty of Law, University of Montreal     Ready to explore the future of our democracies ?

Suchitra Vijayan speaks with Sabhanaz Rashid Diya, Sams Wahid Shahat, Mohammad Arafat and Apon Das of the Tech Global Institute. They unpack the aftermath of Bangladesh's July 2024 uprising, which ended the Awami League's 16-year rule but left behind a trail of unacknowledged deaths, disappearances, and state-sponsored impunity. Drawing on the landmark report Bloodshed in Bangladesh, the conversation reveals how digital forensics, open-source investigation, and survivor testimony challenge the state's attempts at erasure. The discussion traces how the team worked under conditions of internet shutdowns and media blackouts to archive atrocity evidence in real time. They explain how metadata, satellite imagery, and video analysis reconstructed the final hours of massacres such as the killing of 20-year-old Mohammad Ridoi, whose disappearance still haunts his family. Archiving is a political act that confronts Bangladesh's machinery of impunity and keeps memory alive against official narratives. They also explore the disinformation ecosystem that accompanied the killings: pro-government propaganda campaigns on Facebook, deliberate framing of student protesters as violent extremists, and a systematic effort to discredit the uprising. Against this, informal networks of communities mobilised to counter state lies. Key Takeaways - Digital forensics as resistance: Satellite imagery, metadata, and video archives countered state denial and reconstructed events minute by minute. - Archiving as a political act: Preserving testimonies and evidence challenges the state's monopoly over history and builds collective memory. - Disinformation as state strategy: Paid social media campaigns framed protesters as extremists. - Justice and accountability: Beyond trials, justice means refusing erasure, ensuring victims' sacrifices become part of Bangladesh's democratic legacy. Sabhanaz Rashid Diya is the executive director of Tech Global Institute. She's a computational social scientist with over 16 years of experience in technology, public policy, and ethics. Sams Wahid Shahat is a dedicated researcher in the fields of media and information management and fact-checking. Shekh Mohammad Arafat has been a fact-checker since 2022. Throughout this period, he has developed interests in media and information literacy, fact-checking training, and disinformation research Apon Das is an experienced media and information researcher and fact-checker. He has written books on introducing fact-checking as a media literacy intervention for majority world communities.

Disinformation campaigns are strategic tools designed to erode political culture rather than foster healthy debate. In this episode, Dr. Nerses Kopalyan explains how coordinated disinformation endangers Armenia's resilience and security, and how society can build immunity against it.

An encore of Lee McIntyre philosopher & author who's written extensively on the issues of truth & disinformation.

Online threats amplified by AI — from doxxing and deepfakes to coordinated influence operations — are collapsing the time between rumor and real-world risk. Expect pressure points across campuses and big cities, immigration enforcement and politically charged events, with protests only one piece of the picture. For police leaders, the task is to detect signals sooner, verify and communicate faster, and protect officers and targets while safeguarding First Amendment rights. On this week's Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley speaks with Alex Goldenberg, director of intelligence at Narravance, senior adviser to the Network Contagion Research Institute and a fellow at Rutgers University. He investigates online extremism, foreign influence and child safety threats, advises lawmakers and practitioners, and helps platforms and nonprofits remove threat actors at scale. His work translates narrative and behavioral intelligence into practical steps for protest preparedness and officer safety.

The US Tells the Europeans We Will No Longer Work With Them Against Disinformation Warfare by Ian Masters

Edition No244 | 09-09-2025 - America steps back from resisting information warfare and foreign interference, just as the barrage from unfriendly actors intensifies. Nothing screams sovereignty like allowing disingenuous foreign influence to pollute your information sphere. Today, the United States just unplugged part of its information defense grid — ending joint anti-disinformation pacts with 22 partner countries. The timing? Perfect, if you're the Kremlin, Beijing, or Tehran, that is. We'll explain what exactly was shut down, how it fits a broader rollback of U.S. defenses against foreign information and cyber-operations, why science and media are squarely in the crosshairs as well, and what adversaries are doing right now to flood our feeds, weaken trust in our institutions and fracture our democracies. Late on September 8–9, 2025, European governments received formal notice from the U.S. State Department: Washington is terminating memorandum of understanding that underpinned a common playbook for spotting and exposing foreign disinformation from Russia, China, and Iran. ----------SOURCES: https://meduza.io/en/news/2025/09/09/u-s-tells-europe-it-s-withdrawing-from-joint-effort-to-combat-foreign-disinformation-including-russia-shttps://kyivindependent.com/us-steps-back-from-joint-efforts-to-combat-misinformation-ft-reports/https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/sep/09/science-under-siege-weaponised-disinformation-michael-mann-peter-hotezhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-europe-russia-disinformation-memorandum-b2823146.htmlhttps://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/09/9/7529949/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/business/russia-disinformation-trump.htmlhttps://www.ft.com/content/d31b56e3-aca9-4ee7-af5a-abec74830455https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/business/russia-disinformation-trump.html ----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

In this episode, Dr. Jonathan Howard and Wendy Orent dissect the latest controversies around censorship, disinformation, and the rewriting of COVID's history. From Jonathan's YouTube ban after posting videos of public officials, to David Zweig's revisionist narratives about school closures, the conversation exposes how propaganda tactics and false claims are reshaping public perception.  They also highlight troubling developments at the FDA, NIH, and in political arenas where vaccine mandates are under attack, drawing connections between misinformation, free speech battles, and the erosion of trust in science.

The film production began in 2018, and much has changed since then. It is now 2025, and this story is far from over.https://www.youtube.com/@UCz6UbVKfqutH-N7WXnC5Ykg https://www.kyivofmine.com/#theprojectKyiv of Mine is fast paced, beautifully filmed, humorous, fun, insightful, heartbreaking, moving, hopeful. The very antithesis in fact of a doom-laden and worthy wartime documentary. This is a work that is extraordinarily uplifting. My friend Operator Starsky says the film is “Made with so much love. The film series will make you laugh and cry.” ----------LINKS:https://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Total-War-Abduction-Disinformation/dp/1785909487https://x.com/IoWBobSeelyhttps://www.rusi.org/people/seelyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Seelyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-seely-mbe-10304468/?originalSubdomain=ukhttps://kclpure.kcl.ac.uk/portal/en/persons/bob-seely----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

A man claimed it was his job to fake UFO information—and he's not alone. Visit https://themetaphysical.tv for uncensored After Hours episodes, exclusive content, and access to a library of 1,000+ mind-expanding videos on hidden history, forbidden knowledge, and otherworldly topics! Government documents and whistleblower experiences have given extensive proof of alien cover-ups, extraterrestrial abductions, and cow mutilation investigations. It's no longer in the realm of crazy to believe we're not alone in this universe. BUT there's something strange and even maybe nefarious about the sudden acceptance of little green men. Over the years, secret disinformation experts formerly employed by the government have come forward describing how they were tasked with manipulating the alien narrative. Why? To steer the public towards certain beliefs. And they claim they've succeeded in infiltrating the field of ufology. So the big question has changed. It's no longer, “Are there aliens among us?” but “If the government actually wants people talking about aliens, why? And what crazier truths are they trying to distract us from?” Today in Part 1, Rob and John dive into the secret disinformation war going on right under our noses. Then next time in Part 2, they discuss the infamous Dulce Firefight that happened in a secret, underground military base in New Mexico, which all this is leading to. Join investigative researcher Rob Counts and remote viewer John Vivanco for a Metaphysical show that's out of this world. Discussions in this episode: cattle mutilation investigations, UFO cover-ups, impossible humans, if the human race is just biological androids created by an exotic alien race, misinformation and disinformation from government groups, Richard Doty and Paul Bennewitz's information, Linda Moulton Howe's research, alien abductees, extraterrestrials, quantum computing, AI technology accessing information, aliens valuing materials and genetics, alien technology, a massive war we're unaware of to manipulate and control humans, paranormal creature encounters, and more Listen on Spotify — http://bit.ly/3JvFZyz or Apple Podcasts— https://apple.co/3IbWaA2 https://www.tiktok.com/@metaphysicalshow https://www.instagram.com/metaphysicalshow https://twitter.com/metaphysicalwow https://www.reddit.com/r/metaphysicalshow https://www.threads.net/@metaphysicalshow https://t.me/metaphysicalshow #disinformation #UFO #aliens

Megyn Kelly gives a thorough fact-check of The New York Times' "The Daily" podcast episode focused on Russiagate this week, and reveals how it gets the story completely wrong. She's joined by Michael Shellenberger and Aaron Mate to discuss the way the podcast spreads disinformation about the reality of the Russiagate hoax, the way the New York Times has been emotionally invested in the Russiagate story since 2016, the collusion between intel agencies and the media, the way the New York Times distracts from the Russiagate hoax reality by focusing on President Obama personally, the tactics used by the press to smear Trump and his administration, the shocking gaslighting from the NYT "Daily" podcast about the Steele dossier, the host and guest's refusal to even say the word "Steele," the way the episode serves to misinform listeners and news consumers, and more.Maté- https://www.aaronmate.net/Shellenberger- https://www.public.news/Riverbend Ranch: Visit https://riverbendranch.com/ | Use promo code MEGYN for $20 off your first order.Grand Canyon University: https://GCU.edu

Ordinary citizens are solving war crimes with Google Maps and Twitter. Here, Bellingcat's Eliot Higgins reveals how anyone can become a digital detective!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1192What We Discuss with Eliot Higgins:Bellingcat, the investigative journalism group founded by Eliot Higgins, pioneered open source investigations using publicly available data — social media posts, satellite imagery, and online databases — to uncover war crimes, assassinations, and state-level deception that traditional journalism missed.Bellingcat's techniques include geolocation (matching video backgrounds to satellite imagery), chronolocation (using shadows to determine time), and "fingerprinting" military equipment by unique damage patterns to track movements across borders.Bellingcat's major investigations exposed Russian involvement in MH17 downing, identified GRU agents in Skripal poisoning through passport/phone metadata, and mapped entire Russian military units from soldiers' social media posts during Ukraine operations.Bellingcat faces serious threats — Russian surveillance, hacking attempts, disinformation campaigns, and even kidnapping plots — while being falsely labeled as CIA fronts to discredit its independent verification work.Anyone can learn open source investigation through Bellingcat's free resources, Discord community of 40,000 members, YouTube tutorials, and volunteer programs — proving that citizen journalism can hold powerful actors accountable.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
