Podcasts about Misinformation

RFK Jr. says doctors like me don't want you to get better. Apparently, we're part of a vast system designed to keep you sick. So I did what any responsible, monocle-wearing ophthalmologist would do, I pulled up his tweet and walked through it point by point. In this solo episode, I talk about how this kind of medical misinformation spreads, how it erodes trust in the entire healthcare system, and why calling out conspiracy thinking isn't the same as silencing dissent. I also get into preventive care (spoiler: it works), how medicine actually functions in a profit-driven world, and the importance of separating critique from flat-out falsehood. Let's just say, this was a good week to check in on your blood pressure. Takeaways: RFK Jr. believes doctors are incentivized to prolong sickness—not health. Will breaks down where this rhetoric veers from skepticism into straight-up fantasy. Preventive care is under attack, but here's why it still matters. Misinformation isn't just annoying—it can be dangerous. You can criticize healthcare without implying your pediatrician is a cartoon villain. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

In this unique solosode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski debuts a brand-new format — breaking down and rebutting claims from another health podcast, The Medical Medium, which recently aired an episode titled Methylene Blue: Why It's a Problem.   Dr. Mike methodically addresses the statements made by host Anthony William, point by point, providing science-backed explanations, clinical context, and mitochondrial physiology to counter misinformation about methylene blue. From the basics of redox potential and mitochondrial water production to its synergy with red light therapy, Dr. Mike explains why methylene blue remains one of the most promising mitochondrial support tools — and why some common criticisms don't hold up under scientific scrutiny.   Expect a fascinating mix of science, myth-busting, and practical takeaways for anyone curious about methylene blue, mitochondrial health, and how to navigate conflicting health advice in the age of information overload.   Key Topics Covered: Why The Red Light Report will soon have a new name The limitations of the “Mitochondrial Triad” model and what's next The science of methylene blue vs. common misconceptions How redox potential impacts health more than diet alone The truth about methylene blue, electrolytes, and hydration Why methylene blue's blue pigment is key to its benefits The synergy between methylene blue and red light therapy How methylene blue supports brain health, cognition, and neuroprotection Methylene blue's role in ATP production and mitochondrial water creation When methylene blue may (and may not) be a concern for the liver   Key Quotes from Dr. Mike:   “Life is powered by electron flow — not calories, not minerals. Electrons are the fuel your mitochondria run on.” “That blue pigment isn't just pretty — it's the reason methylene blue works so well with red light therapy.” “Methylene blue doesn't have an antioxidant in it. It is the antioxidant.”   Key Points: 00:00:27 – Podcast name change announcement & future direction 00:02:56 – Expanding beyond the Mitochondrial Triad 00:04:01 – Why rebutting misinformation matters 00:10:07 – Methylene blue & electrolytes: myth vs. fact 00:17:56 – Is bitterness a sign of harm? 00:25:42 – Redox potential explained 00:36:02 – Top ways to improve redox potential 00:40:13 – How methylene blue works as an antioxidant 00:46:45 – Why the blue pigment is beneficial 00:51:53 – Methylene blue & hydration 00:57:04 – Bioactivity and mitochondrial effects 01:02:15 – Nervous system benefits & neuroprotection 01:08:01 – Methylene blue and the liver: the real story 01:12:12 – Final thoughts on evaluating health claims - BLUE SPECIAL THIS WEEK...SAVE 20% ON ALL BIOBLUE SUPPLEMENTS!!

Why are people inclined to believe misinformation? Misguided: Where Misinformation Starts, How It Spreads, and What to Do about It (Columbia UP, 2025) is a wide-ranging and comprehensive book that shines a light on how false beliefs take root and spread, exploring the cognitive, emotional, and social factors that make us all susceptible to misinformation. Challenging approaches that focus solely on education and media literacy, Matthew Facciani emphasizes the important role identities and social ties have in the complex interplay of forces that lead people to believe things that are not true. Susceptibility to misinformation is largely shaped by social dynamics. The pressure to affirm one's personal and group identities can leave individuals vulnerable to false beliefs.  Facciani examines both offline and online connections, highlighting how social media, news media, and personal networks can promote and amplify false claims. To bring social-scientific findings to life, he shares the stories of people who fell for misinformation, with contemporary examples including the COVID-19 pandemic and anti-vaccine movement. Facciani examines the effectiveness of various approaches to combating misinformation, underscoring the importance of understanding the psychological and sociological mechanisms behind its spread. He provides actionable recommendations for reducing the influence of misinformation at all levels, from having productive conversations with friends and family to rebuilding trust in institutions. Distilling the latest research accessibly and featuring compelling case studies, Misguided equips readers with practical strategies to counteract false beliefs. Learn more about your ad choices.

The landscape of UX today is quite active. Given that information is crucial for personal growth and development, one would expect all the resources provided to be beneficial; however, this is far from the case. Many of the resources presented today are chock full of obstacles in the form of misinformation that are adding to the seemingly ambiguous space we know as UX. In this talk from a UX Akron event in 2021, Darren provides issues and examples associated with misinformation and ways to help us filter and overcome these stumbling blocks.REMINDER: Video is available for this episode via select resources. #ux#podcasts#cxofmradio#cxofm#realuxtalk#worldofux#worldouxBookmark the new World of UX website at https://www.worldoux.com.

In this episode, I sit down with naturopath Kim Bretz to talk about one of the thorniest issues in healthcare today: medical misinformation. We explore what it means to practice in the messy, often misunderstood middle ground between allopathic and naturopathic medicine. Kim shares her experience as a bridge-builder—between professions, between patients and providers, and between fear and trust. This is a conversation about nuance, empathy, and how we can show up differently in a polarized world.Connect with Kim:Website: https://www.drkimbretznd.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkimbretznd/Book a call with me to register for Creating Space: http://joanchanmd.com/spaceLearn more about Hippocratic Collective: https://hippocraticcollective.org/Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joanchanmd

Isn't climate change just part of a natural cycle? Weren't CO2 levels much higher in the past? And, even if we should be worried, can one person really make a difference?Lies travel faster than facts. We've all been confronted by someone who doesn't ‘believe the science' and asks questions like these - but how do we change their minds?A powerful report from the International Panel on the Information Environment (IPIE) warns how coordinated misinformation campaigns are eroding public understanding and slowing climate progress around the world. And as anyone working in or advocating for climate action knows, persistent myths and misunderstandings continue to thrive - even as the science gets clearer, the stakes get higher, and the crisis becomes more urgent. What's clear is that disinformation is a weapon, and it's being targeted at climate action. So this week, Christiana Figueres and Paul Dickinson tackle some of the most common (and frustrating) climate myths - where do they come from, why are they misleading, and how can we win the battle against them? Learn more ⏳ Listen back to our episodes Momentum vs Perfection, where we explore different theories of change within the climate movement and the tension between urgency, impact, and doing things the ‘right' way.

This week Brian Copeland welcomes comedians Brian Malow and Monique Marvez for a wide-ranging discussion on politics, culture, and society. The episode opens with light banter about yoga and aging, then quickly shifts to deeper topics, including:Political Discourse & Divisions: The gang discusses the polarization in American politics, referencing Michelle Obama's “When they go low, we go high” philosophy. They debate whether it's effective to take the high road or if it's time for Democrats to “fight in the gutter” as Republicans do. Both guests express frustration with the current state of political discourse and the erosion of norms.Generational & Cultural Shifts: Monique Marvez shares her perspective on generational change, noting that younger people are tired of the ongoing political battles and have a broader, less divisive worldview. She argues that the internet has leveled the playing field for women and minorities, but also acknowledges its role in amplifying negative voices.Women, Power, and Social Change: The conversation delves into the challenges women face in achieving equality, both from societal structures and internalized biases among women themselves. The panel discusses the “queen bee” syndrome and the need for women to support each other to effect real change.Denial, Blame, and Enabling: The group explores how denial and scapegoating play out in politics and personal life, from vaccine hesitancy to excusing the behavior of powerful men. They discuss high-profile cases involving Trump, Epstein, and Cosby, and the tendency for people to double down on denial rather than confront uncomfortable truths.Science, Vaccines, and Misinformation: Brian Malow, as a science communicator, explains the significance of vaccine technology and the dangers of anti-vaccine rhetoric. The panel laments the spread of misinformation and the consequences for public health, referencing outbreaks of preventable diseases.Personal Stories & Humor: Throughout, the guests share personal anecdotes from their careers in comedy and media, reflecting on the challenges and absurdities they've encountered. The episode ends with plugs for upcoming shows and a reminder to be kind to one another.--Connect with our Guests...#MoniqueMarvez - MoniqueMarvez.com & @MoniqueMarvez on Instagram#BrianMalow - ScienceComedian.com#MichelleObama #Trump #Epstein #Vaccines #SocialChange #QueenBeeSyndrome #UncomfortableTruths #ScienceMisinformation  #BrianCopeland #CopelandsCorner #HeadlinersOnTheHeadlines#CopelandUnfiltered #ComedyCommentary #PodcastersOfYouTube #ComicsOnAir #TalkPodcast#PoliticalHumor #PoliticalPodcast #HotTalkTopicsPodcast Hosted by the Bay Area's own Brian Copeland, a longtime Actor, Comedian, Author, Playwright, Television and Radio Personality.

Send us a textNarratives and identity fundamentally shape our political beliefs more than facts or reason. The stories we tell ourselves matter deeply in how we form our worldviews and interpret reality.• The "stolen election" narrative caught on not because of evidence but because it reinforced existing identity frameworks• Political tribalism works similarly to religious adherence - both use narratives to create belonging and define outsiders• Biblical stories like Joshua's conquest of Canaan serve contemporary political purposes regardless of historical accuracy• Mary Magdalene's portrayal evolved from Jesus's most trusted apostle to reformed prostitute as institutional church power grew• AI systems like Grok, ChatGPT and others reflect their creators' goals and can shape perception in targeted ways• Media sources reinforce tribal identities rather than attempting to persuade those on the opposite side• Bipartisanship on issues like immigration fails because performative opposition serves identity needs better than pragmatic solutionsAmerica's political division continues to worsen as we increasingly view those with different political orientations as enemies rather than fellow citizens with different perspectives. We need to restore humanity to our political discourse before tribalism tears the country apart.Follow Noah Kennedy athttps://noahkennedy.net/His bookhttps://www.amazon.com/Industrialization-Intelligence-Mind-Machine-Modern/dp/0044403453/ref=sr_1_1?sr=8-1Check these sources out1440Ground NewsNew PaperAll SidesSupport the showFollow your host atYouTube and Rumble for video contenthttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUxk1oJBVw-IAZTqChH70aghttps://rumble.com/c/c-4236474Facebook to receive updateshttps://www.facebook.com/EliasEllusion/Twitter (yes, I refuse to call it X)https://x.com/politicallyht LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliasmarty/

Congressman Mike Flood's recent town hall, promoting Medicaid work requirements, wasn't just a political event; it was a microcosm of the war on facts.  Flood, while commendable for engaging directly with constituents, peddled a narrative devoid of scientific backing, painting a picture of able-bodied individuals leeching off the system. This blatant disregard for the reality that many Medicaid recipients are already working multiple jobs, juggling financial precarity and healthcare needs, is a dangerous form of political theater, designed to scapegoat the vulnerable and further erode the social safety net.The performative outrage surrounding Medicaid conveniently ignores the complexities of healthcare access in America.  Flood's arguments, echoing a chorus of conservative voices, rely on a simplistic, misleading narrative that conveniently ignores the data.  Organizations like the Kaiser Family Foundation have repeatedly debunked the myth of the 'lazy' Medicaid recipient, showcasing the reality of individuals struggling to balance work, family, and debilitating health conditions.  Flood's town hall, rather than a genuine attempt at policy discussion, served as a platform for disseminating misinformation and fueling divisive rhetoric.Dr. Jessica Nurick's counterpoint provides a crucial antidote to this manufactured outrage.  Her work dismantling health misinformation, whether tackling the manipulative narratives of social media influencers or clarifying the science behind nutrition and funding, is a beacon of reason in a sea of manufactured controversy.  The attacks on evidence-based science, exemplified by Flood's rhetoric, are not merely political; they are an assault on public health.  By highlighting the dangers of relying on simplistic narratives and embracing evidence-based policymaking, Dr. Nurick offers a vital path towards a more informed and equitable healthcare system.Full Show Notes & Links UsedSend us a textSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFollow us on BlueskyFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon

Dr. Ed Livingston, renowned surgeon, educator, and researcher, who was a former deputy editor at JAMA, found himself out of a job after a JAMA podcast he hosted with Dr. Mitch Katz that discussed, among other items, structural racism as a contributor to the high mortality in minorities from COVID. This incident led to a series of lawsuits, some of which were highly publicized. Ed shares behind the scenes events, incidents, and what transpired in 2021, and how the AMA handled the situation. In this episode, Ed shares his background, career path, passion for education and medicine, and his disappointment at how everything was handled by the AMA.

Misinformation is a widespread and serious concern within our society today. Nearly every issue we face involves claims of misinformation, as well as disinformation and otherwise misleading content. But despite being frequently framed as an existential threat, misinformation remains hard to define and measure. This event will discuss what misinformation is, whether the concern around misinformation is legitimate or reflects a panic over new expressive technologies, and what technology companies and policymakers can do to help develop knowledge, protect expression, and make progress as a society. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Think battery storage systems are fire hazards? The data tells a different story.Today on the Clean Power Hour, Joe DeBellis, Global Head of Clean Energy at FireTrace, reveals shocking findings from a survey of nearly 4,000 Americans about battery storage safety. While headlines focus on rare fire incidents, 71% of Americans actually support battery energy storage technology.Here's what you'll discover:The surprising truth about battery fires: 89% start from electrical components, not the batteries themselves. Only 11% originate from battery cells or modules. Fire incidents have dropped 97% between 2018-2023, with just one fire per 35 gigawatts of installed capacity.Why public opposition exists: 52% of the 29% who oppose battery projects lack basic information about the technology. Misinformation drives fear more than actual risk data.What's inside battery containers: Beyond batteries, these systems contain HVAC equipment, power conversion systems, battery management systems, and control cabinets. Each component presents different fire risks requiring specific suppression strategies.FireTrace's dual approach to safety: Clean agent systems protect electrical components without damaging electronics. Aerosol technology using potassium carbonate prevents thermal runaway in battery cells.How developers can improve project approval: Proactive safety planning beats reactive measures. Early engagement with authorities having jurisdiction and communities builds trust through education.The regulatory landscape: UL 9540, NFPA 855, and evolving safety standards are creating better frameworks for safe deployment.The key takeaway: Focus fire prevention efforts on electrical components, not just batteries. This approach addresses 89% of actual fire risks while building community trust through education.Connect with Guest LinkedIn: Joe DeBellisWebsite: Firetrace Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Georgie Kovacs, founder of Fempower Health, unpacks the recent FDA hearing on SSRI use during pregnancy—an emotionally charged and complex conversation that brought together OB-GYNs, psychiatrists, pharmacologists, and advocates.Drawing on over 25 years in healthcare consulting and six years interviewing global women's health leaders, Georgie offers a balanced, deeply informed analysis of the real conversation that took place—beyond the headlines and controversy.This wasn't just a debate about antidepressants in pregnancy. It was a wider reckoning with how we define mental health, how we treat it, and the pressures facing clinicians and patients in a fragmented system. From risk-benefit tradeoffs and informed consent to how “depression” is diagnosed and operationalized, this episode explores what was said, what was missing, and what we need next.Whether you're a woman seeking clarity or a clinician striving to provide the best care, this episode breaks it all down.Discussion Points What actually happened at the FDA panel on SSRIs and pregnancy?Are SSRIs overprescribed—or unfairly stigmatized—during pregnancy?Is "depression" too broad of a diagnosis?How do mental health diagnoses affect treatment decisions for pregnant women?Why is informed consent inconsistent in SSRI prescribing?What are the long-term risks of untreated maternal depression?Are OB-GYNs expected to manage too much—including mental health?How does limited access to psychiatrists shape treatment options?What does better mental healthcare look like during pregnancy?Should we rethink how we integrate psychotherapy, medication, and lifestyle care?Expert Backgrounds MentionedOB-GYNs treating pregnant patients on SSRIsPsychiatrists both prescribing and deprescribing antidepressantsAcademic researchers investigating serotonin's effects on fetal developmentAdvocacy leaders spotlighting systemic barriers to mental health careResourcesFDA Hearing: https://www.fda.gov/patients/fda-expert-panels/fda-expert-panel-selective-serotonin-reuptake-inhibitors-ssris-and-pregnancy-07212025ACOG Response to FDA Hearing: https://www.acog.org/news/news-releases/2025/07/statement-on-benefit-of-access-to-ssris-during-pregnancySociety for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) Statement https://www.smfm.org/news/smfm-statement-on-ssris-and-pregnancyRegulatory Focus Responds: https://www.raps.org/news-and-articles/news-articles/2025/7/fda-panel-debates-label-change-on-ssri-use-duringSTAT News Responds: https://www.statnews.com/2025/07/25/ssri-drugs-fda-review-panel-antidepressants-pregnancy/National Curriculum in Reproductive Psychiatry (NCRP) Responds: https://ncrptraining.org/press-release-ncrp-responds-to-fda-panel-on-ssri-use-in-pregnancy/

A new interactive platform has now been developed for Kiwi kids to help them recognise mis and disinformation, identity-based harm and online extremism. 

What's the difference between an honest mistake and a deliberate lie? In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, Dr. Stephen Barnard breaks down the spectrum of problematic information and the psychological vulnerabilities that make us susceptible to false information—from echo chambers and political identity to our eroding trust in institutions. This conversation episode examines how misinformation spreads accidentally while disinformation campaigns deliberately exploit our biases for profit and power. Through examples ranging from pharmaceutical marketing disguised as news to the viral spread of COVID conspiracy theories, we uncover the human psychology behind our information crisis and why public health misinformation can literally be a matter of life and death.References for Our Discussion◼️ The new science of prebunking: how to inoculate against the spread of misinformation◼️Psychological inoculation improves resilience against misinformation on social media◼️STEPHEN R.

Whether it's biology, or the traditional, capitalist norm of the mum as a carer and dad as a breadwinner, it's easy to think of fathers as the secondary parent. However, it is scientifically provable that more involved dads create huge value for our kids, and for society as a whole. Jennifer gets more information from Dr Anna Machin, a doctor of evolutionary anthropology, author of the book The Life of Dad: The Making of the Modern Father, and a world-renowned pioneer in the field of fatherhood science. This week a new experimental male contraceptive pill has passed its first human safety trials. So, after decades of hope for an alternative to the traditional female contraceptive pill, are we actually, finally, getting somewhere? Dr Luciano Nardo, a Consultant in Reproductive Medicine & Infertility and Dr Samina Dornan, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist give their take. And as more young people turn to TikTok for news, around 39 per cent of under thirties, according to the latest research, it also found that many of them don't know how to separate fact from fiction online. So, how concerned should we be about the potential for misinformation to be spread as fact? And what does this tell us about the need to train our kids - and ourselves - about how to navigate a new media landscape? Sociologist and senior lecturer in journalism Dr Ruta Vaidya joins Jennifer live in the studio.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Misinformation spreads like a virus,” explained Sander van der Linden, Ph.D., a Professor of Social Psychology in Society and Director of the Cambridge Social Decision-Making Lab in the Department of Psychology at the University of Cambridge. He asked the question, “Is there a way to inoculate or immunize people?” His award-winning book Foolproof: Why Misinformation Infects Our Minds and How to Build Immunity explores this topic using decades of research and on-the-ground experience advising governments and tech companies. He wrote the book to devise a new paradigm to help readers understand and defend themselves against a worldwide information infodemic. Van der Linden's biography describes his body of research as looking at “how people process (mis)information, how it spreads in online networks, and how we can most effectively prebunk and inoculate people against false information.” He served on the World Health Organization's (WHO) infodemic working group. He has won numerous awards for his research on human judgment, communication, and decision-making, including the Rising Star Award from the Association for Psychological Science (APS). He co-developed Bad News, an award-winning fake news game designed to improve people's ability to spot manipulation techniques! This is an very important interview.

Today we're talking about the secret to losing weight correctly. Or the reasons why people tend to fail on what they think of as a ketogenic diet.The popular (mis)perception of ketoWe hear a lot about keto currently, and the popular perception is that there are many experts out there who can tell us what to do. The truth, however, is that there is no accountability to the definition of what keto is. About 90% of all the information comes from marketers who have never done keto before, and what they think they know about it is probably wrong.  The definition of ketoKetosis gets gauged by measuring your ketones with a keto meter. So the definition of what keto is can only be determined by whether or not you are in ketosis while you are on it.The start of the ketogenic dietThe ketogenic diet started in 1925. The term ketogenic diet was coined in around 1921 by William Wilder in response to the previous decades of fasting for diabetes and other conditions. The term ‘ketogenic diet'The ketogenic diet was used strictly for epilepsy, mostly for pediatric epilepsy. The term ‘ketogenic diet' came about because it is a diet that causes people to produce ketones that occur when people are fasting.A new applicationIn the past, the ketogenic diet was only about epilepsy, so the application of keto to diabetes or weight loss is very new. Certain things need to be put in place for you to achieve success with it, and for your body to make the necessary changes.No studies Using keto for weight loss is very new, and there are no studies to prove that keto is effective for weight loss.The common-sense approachThe common-sense approach to keto and weight loss lies in gaining a deeper understanding of how various foods affect the body.Losing weightTo effectively lose weight, you have to move away from carbs. And you have to be kind to your body while doing that, so you cannot do it quickly. It has to be a gradual process.The secretThe secret of losing weight on the ketogenic diet is tracking. Education is also vital.The 1800sIf you look at menus from the 1800s, you will see that they are 90% protein, with very few vegetables.Misinformation about what you should be eatingThere is not much data available currently to inform people about what they should be eating. And a lot of the available information is misinforming people. Facebook groups Within Facebook groups, there is migration and an evolution towards a low carbohydrate (and eventually no carbohydrates) and a higher protein diet. ProteinYou cannot overeat protein, in the whole food sense, by itself as you could with carbohydrates, because you would get too full.MacrosWhen dealing with the categories of the macros of fat, carbohydrate, and protein as whole food areas, you have to remove the grains and root vegetables from the carbohydrate category. Not because they are unhealthy, but rather because they have very high sugar content.Changing your diet in stagesIf you want to lose weight, your body needs to adapt to a high protein and a low or no carbohydrate diet. That means that you have to change your diet slowly, in various stages.StructureThe secret to losing weight with a keto diet lies in tracking your diet, educating yourself, being prepared to make changes, and having a structure. Links and resources:Join our Keto Naturopath Facebook groupThe Charlie Foundation

This episode explores why Jesus had such deep compassion for people—not because they were evil, but because they were uninformed and misinformed. Many of us are living from false ideas, bad teachings, or simply never knowing that God is already within us. And instead of judgment, Jesus offers alignment: calling people back to who they really are.The podcast breaks down how misinformation shapes identity, decisions, and even how we see God. It's not about excusing brokenness but seeing through it—just like Jesus did. When He said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,” it wasn't pity; it was clarity. They didn't know. And many still don't.At its core, the message is this: Most of what's broken in us started with what we were told—or never told. But once the truth is revealed, we're not just healed—we're remembered, re-formed, and restored back to God's original intention. Get full access to REDIN30 at redin30.substack.com/subscribe
