Podcasts about Misinformation

“My most powerful content is when I lead with my voice as a mom because I have the same concerns about keeping my kids safe as my audience does. It's a powerful and effective way to find common ground with people,” says Dr. Jess Steier, a popular public health scientist and science communicator seeking to bridge divides and foster trust through empathetic, evidence-based communication. Dr. Steier has several platforms from which to do this work, including  Unbiased Science --  a communication hub that uses multiple social media platforms and other communications channels to share validated health and science information -- and as executive director of the Science Literacy Lab, a nonprofit organization dedicated to reaching a diverse audience seeking clarity and reliable information on scientific topics. “The science is less than half the battle,” she explains. “It's about how to communicate with empathy.”Join Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith for a valuable conversation that explores:What sources Dr. Steier relies on to validate informationHow she uses “escape room” exercises to train clinicians on empathetic communicationWhy tailored, story-driven messages reach audiences more effectively than facts.Mentioned in this episode:Unbiased Science If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Pure Telecom, Ireland's high-speed broadband and telecoms provider, has announced new results from its annual Connected Lives survey which reveal that almost a third (32%) of adults in Ireland have shared misinformation online before realising it was false. The growing issue of misinformation has led 87% of adults in Ireland to believe that it is now a serious problem facing modern society. The nationally representative survey of 1,001 adults in Ireland was conducted by Censuswide on behalf of Pure Telecom. It explores the role of misinformation in our everyday lives and how it shapes our experiences online. In total, almost half (46%) of adults in Ireland admit that misinformation has influenced their opinions or beliefs in the past. Two-thirds (69%) report that they have seen information online that they initially believed to be true, only to later realise that they had been misled. A similar proportion (65%) have observed misinformation being spread online by people they know. The research identifies AI as a contributing challenge in the era of misinformation. The majority of adults (81%) believe that AI-generated content, which includes the use of deepfakes, makes it harder to distinguish between 'real' and 'fake' news. Despite this, 56% say they can easily spot misinformation online and 72% are confident in their ability to fact check online news articles. But adults in Ireland also believe that social media companies must bear some of the responsibility, with 87% saying social media platforms should do more to prevent the spread of misinformation. The proliferation of misinformation online has led more than a third (37%) of adults to report that they don't trust mainstream online news sources to provide accurate information. The research found that one in 10 now turn to alternative news websites as one of their main sources of news. The most popular way adults in Ireland prefer to receive their news is on TV (46%). This is followed by social media (45%) and radio (35%). Most (79%) said Irish media is a top source for their news media, while 38% cited UK media and 34% cited US media. Paul Connell, CEO, Pure Telecom said: "While the majority of adults believe they can quickly identify misinformation, over-confidence could prove to be a person's greatest weakness. As misinformation becomes a defining challenge of our connected age, we must all apply a healthy degree of scepticism to what we see online to ensure we continue to reap the benefits of the online world. "The internet remains an incredible force for good, connecting communities, enabling learning, and driving innovation. As a provider that keeps people connected, Pure Telecom is passionate about bringing the value of the online world to people, households and businesses across Ireland." See more stories here.

In this compelling episode of 90 Miles from Needles, host Chris Clarke explores the delicate balance of truth in natural environments and everyday life. With a focus on the impact of modern technology, Chris explores how misinformation, notably from AI-generated content, can distort our understanding of the natural world. He raises vital questions about the integrity of information and prompts listeners to reconsider how we consume media. This discussion extends to an examination of the timeless truths found within desert ecosystems, where reality remains unobscured by human interference. Chris eloquently contrasts the external world filled with "little lies" and the undeniable truths present in the desert's harsh yet honest environment. This episode emphasizes the importance of discernment in the digital age, encouraging listeners to seek authenticity and treasure the unembellished truth of natural landscapes. Key Takeaways: AI-generated content is increasingly sophisticated, making it challenging to distinguish between reality and fiction. Deserts serve as natural educators, offering unbiased truths and teaching resilience, adaptation, and harmony. Misinformation isn't limited to one side of the political spectrum; all individuals must critically assess their beliefs. The desert's inherent truthfulness contrasts with the often manipulated realities we encounter through media and politics. Understanding natural environments, like deserts, requires slowing down and embracing complexity without preconceptions. Notable Quotes: "The desert is pretty honest about limits." "When does an untruth become a lie? A lie requires intent." "The desert is pretty firm in its stance that reality is not optional." "Truth in the desert is slow, and if you want to catch it, you slow down, too." "The desert never asks us to pick one story or the other. It just presents the facts in all their complexity." Resources: Coyote and Badger video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bICTWNRrGE Engage further with this insightful podcast episode to explore the interplay between environmental truth and societal narratives. Stay tuned for more episodes of 90 Miles from Needles, where the focus remains steadfastly on desert protection and the stories that shape our understanding of these vital ecosystems.

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – Mainstream media—once heralded as the watchdog of democracy—has increasingly been accused of abandoning its duty to truth in favor of political narratives. This corruption of truth, especially in politically charged stories, has profound consequences for society, sowing division, distrust, and disillusionment...

How we need to tackle misinformation. Ciara and Shane discussed this morning.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they celebrate the end of a pointless government shutdown, blast United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for trying to silence free speech online, and recoil at how shockingly bad college students have become at math.First, Jim and Greg applaud the House vote to end the government shutdown, rip Democrats for their six weeks of incoherent grandstanding, and look ahead to late January when this may happen all over again.Next, they unload on Secretary-General Guterres for claiming online “disinformation and misinformation” are poisoning discourse and insisting that tech companies have a responsibility to crack down on speech that supposedly distorts the facts. Guterres says this speech he doesn't like is hampering the UN's ability to enact its climate agenda. Well, that's a shame. Jim not only defends free speech but points out that the UN should not be involved in this debate at all.Finally, they shudder as college professors warn that incoming students are much worse at math than ever before. One study finds fewer than 20 percent can handle middle school–level math, and many struggle with even the most basic concepts. Jim and Greg consider how so many young adults made it to college so poorly prepared.Please visit our great sponsors:Get 10% off your first month of BetterHelp by visiting https://BetterHelp.com/3ML today!OneSkin uses the patented OS-01 Peptide™ designed to keep skin healthier, stronger, and more resilient over time.

“I realized that rather than talking one-to-one with patients in the exam room, you could talk one-to-many on social media,” says Dr. Kevin Pho, explaining the origins of KevinMD, the highly influential information sharing site he created for physicians, medical students and patients twenty years ago. Since then, KevinMD has become a valuable space for clinicians and patients to share stories and perspectives on topics from burnout and moral injury to technology and trust. In this conversation with Raise the Line host Michael Carrese, Dr. Pho reflects on the dual paths that have defined his career: as a practicing internal medicine physician and as one of healthcare's most trusted online voices. And despite the challenges of doing so, Dr. Pho encourages other medical providers to follow his lead. “Patients are going online, and if physicians are not there, they're going to get information that's perhaps politically-driven or simply inaccurate.”This thoughtful conversation also explores: How social media has reshaped health communicationThe risks and rewards for clinicians of having an online presence Why medical schools should teach negotiating skillsMentioned in this episode:KevinMDEstablishing, Managing and Protecting Your Online Reputation If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

If you're ready to replace intuition with evidence and build durable trust, this conversation delivers.

Why People Stop Trusting ScienceWhy do so many people reject science—even when the facts are clear?We are joined by Hillary Shulman, a communication scholar at Ohio State University, to learn about science populism—the growing belief that science is an elite enterprise disconnected from everyday life.They explore how distrust of experts, polarization and science, and skepticism and belief shape public understanding. Shulman explains why facts alone don't persuade, how both liberals and conservatives can fall into science populism, and what it takes to rebuild trust in scientific institutions.Text me your feedback and leave your contact info if you'd like a reply (this is a one-way text).

If you are thinking about helping your kids navigate the world of Artificial Intelligence in regards to research and gathering information, I want to read you some helpful words from professor, Dr. Thomas Fowler in a recent edition of Touchstone Magazine. “Do the chatbots add any value with their search capability? Basically, no; the behavior of chatbots is completely at variance with the methods of research done by a real person, who finds sources and then critically filters and analyzes them, seeking to extract the most important and best-justified conclusions in light of the subject and of reality. This process we call “truth seeking,” but it is not what AI does: It does not decide what is true and what is not. AI systems are “built to be persuasive, not truthful,” says an internal Microsoft document. We need to lead our kids away from sources that lie. Parents, teach your kids how to engage in the process of using the Bible as the basis for developing skills in wisdom and discernment.

Birth control is the latest battleground in a wave of online misinformation targeting young women — and doctors and reproductive health advocates are sounding the alarm about its impact. But this isn’t your typical fearmongering about birth control coming from Bible-thumpers or conservative men in suits. This new wave is coming from wellness influencers — the ones in matching pastel workout sets — who are linking a “balanced, natural life” with ditching hormonal birth control. Bridget explains to Stuff Mom Never Told You’s Samantha and Anney why this may look like a rebrand, but this kind of misinformation is just as harmful as ever.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Joe Pierre discuss the phenomenon of false beliefs, as explored in his book, False. Joe explains the distinction between clinical delusions and delusion-like beliefs, emphasizing the continuum of belief conviction and the role of motivated reasoning. He highlights the impact of political affiliation on belief spread and the concept of "suicide by false belief." Joe also discusses the importance of intellectual humility, cognitive flexibility, and analytical thinking in combating misinformation. He notes Finland's success in addressing misinformation through societal education and advocates for a similar approach to foster a culture of truth.    Key Takeaways: There is a spectrum of conviction when we are discussing delusion-like beliefs - such as conspiracy theories. Misinformation refers to information that isn't true. Disinformation is usually used to mean deliberate misinformation. Knowing the difference can be tricky because it relies on knowing the intent of the person spreading the misinformation. The Holy Trinity of Truth Detection is something people can learn and adopt - they aren't always intuitive. They must be learned and valued for people to adopt them.    "False beliefs always have at least the potential for harm. They don't always cause harm, but they certainly carry the risk of harm. And these days, because of some of the false beliefs that are going around - like beliefs about vaccines or climate change denialism - I sometimes refer to what's going on right now as suicide by false belief, because these beliefs really are potentially dangerous." —  Dr. Joe Pierre   Connect with Dr. Joe Pierre: Professional Bio: https://drjoepierre.com/index.php/about/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/psychunseen/  Website: https://drjoepierre.com/  Book: https://drjoepierre.com/index.php/false/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-pierre-1b33469/    Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

“We've created this ecosystem where the vast majority of information on social media, particularly in nutrition science, is inaccurate or misleading,” says Dr. Jessica Knurick, a registered dietitian and Ph.D. in nutrition science specializing in chronic disease prevention. As you'll learn on this episode of Raise the Line with host Lindsey Smith, countering that trend has become Dr. Knurick's focus in the past several years, and her talent for translating complex scientific information into practical guidance has attracted a large following on social media. Beyond equipping her audience with the tools to think critically and make informed choices for themselves, she also wants them to make the connection between the generally poor health status of most Americans with public policies on food and health and advocate for more beneficial approaches. “We can create systems that put the most people in the position to succeed versus putting the most people in the position to fail.” Tune in to learn from this trusted voice on nutrition, food policy, and public health as she shares her perspectives on: Strategies for risk reduction and behavior changeWhat can rebuild trust in medical information How you can cut through the noise and spot misinformation onlineMentioned in this episode:Dr. Knurick's WebsiteTikTok ChannelInstagram FeedFacebook Page If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

In this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Susan Lambert is joined by Northwestern University Professor of Education, Social Policy, and Psychology David Rapp. David's research focuses on language and memory, and his conversation with Susan gives insight into how memory is connected to comprehension. The first half of the episode is spent defining comprehension as a process, a product, and a higher-order cognitive process. David then digs into how that definition informs the ways in which educators assess comprehension and where they can look for potential failure points. One of these failure points includes misinformation. David addresses what happens when misinformation is stored in long-term memory. He details the issues this can cause for student comprehension, and he gives guidance on how to prevent and correct them.Show notes:Submit your questions on comprehension! Access free, high-quality resources at our brand new, companion professional learning page.  Check out David Rapp's lab.Resources:Listen to Season 2 of Amplify's Beyond My Years podcast.Join our community Facebook group.Connect with Susan Lambert.Quotes: “Once the information is in memory, you can't really get rid of it. What you can try to do is make other memories more powerful, more likely to resonate to things.” —David Rapp, Ph.D.“Sometimes our most effective processes actually lead us to misunderstand. For example, you're really good at encoding information to memory, that's great, except if you're exposed to inaccurate ideas, that's a problem.” —David Rapp, Ph.D.“It feels easy for us to comprehend texts if we're well practiced at it, it feels easy, but it's actually a lot of cognitive operations going on behind the scenes and a lot of years of practice.” —David Rapp, Ph.D.“In terms of being exposed to misinformation, we see even if people have been exposed to inaccurate ideas, even once, it's encoded into memory, it's potentially gonna be there to influence you.” —David Rapp, Ph.D.Episode Timestamps02:00 Introduction: Who is David Rapp?04:00 Defining reading comprehension05:00 Comprehension as a process vs a product08:00 Comprehension as a higher order cognitive process12:00 Coherence18:00 Memory activation and misinformation21:00 Consequences of misinformation25:00 Correcting misinformation28:00 Preventing misinformation36:00 The evolution of thinking on comprehension40:00 Current research45:00 Closing thoughts and encouragement to dig into research*Timestamps are approximate, rounded to nearest minute

Misinformation is a growing problem, with most Americans worried about the reliability of online information. Dan Nottingham created Mi Credible.ai to help people navigate this landscape by providing a credibility score for statements. The tool uses multiple AI models to objectively analyze sources, offering a numerical score and an explanation so users can assess the accuracy of their content before sharing it. This approach helps reduce bias, promotes informed communication, and gives businesses and individuals a measurable way to maintain trust and credibility online. Mi Credible.ai can be used for business, social, and casual purposes, from validating marketing content to settling debates among friends. Users can input any statement to check its accuracy and receive a clear score, making credibility a key performance indicator. Nottingham envisions a future in which AI tools like this serve as impartial editors, helping people navigate misinformation with confidence. The platform is currently browser-based, with mobile apps in development, and encourages users to try it themselves to see how it can improve communication and decision-making. Quotes: “Everyone is a publisher, but not everyone is an editor. That's where credibility tools come in.” “Credibility shouldn't be a buzzword; it should be a KPI for your business.” “It's not enough to be right—you have to persuade.” Resources: Connect with Dan Nottingham on LinkedIn Credibility starts with you

The Price of Influence: Paid Endorsements and Your HealthDescription:

Misinformation is powerful. It spreads fast, twists truth, and can change how we see God, others, and even ourselves. From the Garden of Eden to our modern world of endless information, the enemy still uses deception to distort what God says and how we live.In this message, we look at how the serpent's subtle question—“Did God really say?”—set humanity on a path of confusion and compromise, and how we can guard our hearts from deceptive ideas, distorted desires, and destructive behaviors.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49514383Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143For more information on our campus, email us at searcy@newlifechurch.tv or visit newlifechurch.tv.

We were worried we might not have anything left to talk about on the show (spoiler alert, we were wrong). We discuss the good and bad uses of AI, why it can be a better doctor than a human, why it's more dangerous than plastic, and why Sarah can't quit ChatGPT. Sarah explains why misinformation is causing more marriages than anything else. We share what our "favorite" conspiracy theories are, and why we sort of believe them. Sarah almost got struck by lightning, and why she wants people to be more careful during storms. We hear why there might be a cure for the vision issues of growing old, and we find out that essential oils actually are...essential.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster at https://rocketmoney.com/braincandy today.Download Hily from the App Store or Google Play, or check out https://hily.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why are people wrong all the time, anyway? Is it because we human beings are too good at being irrational, using our biases and motivated reasoning to convince ourselves of something that isn't quite accurate? Or is it something different -- unmotivated reasoning, or "unthinkingness," an unwillingness to do the cognitive work that most of us are actually up to if we try? Gordon Pennycook wants to argue for the latter, and this simple shift has important consequences, including for strategies for getting people to be less susceptible to misinformation and conspiracies.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/10/27/333-gordon-pennycook-on-unthinkingness-conspiracies-and-what-to-do-about-them/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Gordon Pennycook received his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Waterloo.
