How do echo chambers influence our beliefs? How do you know what is true on the internet? Why does misinformation spread so quickly online? What is an echo chamber, and how does confirmation bias influence the way we evaluate information? In this episode of Good Is In The Details, Gwendolyn Dolske and Rudy Salo welcome sociologist Matthew Facciani, author of Misguided: Where Misinformation Starts, How It Spreads, and What To Do About It, for an engaging conversation about the psychology and sociology of misinformation. Together they explore: • What misinformation is, and why it's so persuasive • Why our social identities often matter more than facts • How echo chambers and online communities reinforce existing beliefs • The role of confirmation bias in shaping what we think is true • Why intelligent people can still believe false information • Practical critical thinking strategies for evaluating claims and sources • How to recognize credible evidence and challenge your own assumptions • Ways to become a more thoughtful consumer of news, social media, and online information Rather than simply asking what people believe, this conversation examines why we believe it. Drawing from sociology, psychology, philosophy, and critical thinking, Matthew Facciani explains how our need for belonging, identity, and certainty can make us vulnerable to misinformation, and what we can do to become better thinkers. Whether you're interested in media literacy, critical thinking, online behavior, confirmation bias, or simply want to become more confident in evaluating information on the internet, this episode offers practical tools for navigating today's complex information landscape.

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) Today, 98% of all federal criminal cases are resolved with a guilty plea. Why? "Half a loaf is better than none. . . . When we have a weak case for any reason, we'll reduce to almost anything rather than lose." In modern America, "beyond a reasonable doubt" as determined by a jury has largely been replaced by the discretion of prosecutors to punish defendants for exercising their constitutional right to a trial by jury. So much so, defendants in pretrial detention are agreeing to plea "bargains" at a rate so high, it's difficult to deny the obvious: Innocence is irrelevant. Reb is joined by Hannah Bogen, a Federal Public Defender in the Office of the FPD for the Central District of California, the largest public defense office in the federal system. Hannah shares her firsthand experience with indigent defense, pretrial detention, plea bargaining, and sentencing policy—a rare glimpse into the real lives of her clients in the federal criminal system, and public defenders' enduring fight for dignity and mercy for the people whom society often forgets...Until it happens to you. **DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions discussed in this episode are personal to Hannah and Reb and do not reflect the views or opinions of the Office of the Federal Public Defender.** A huge thank you to Hannah Bogen for her time and unforgettable insight for this episode, and a gracious nod to the Offices of the Federal Public Defender in Los Angeles and around the country.

What do women's pockets, ADHD, personal branding and billionaires have in common?Quite a lot, as it turns out.In this thought-provoking episode, Maddy sits down with style consultant and author Samantha Harman to explore why clothing is about so much more than fashion. Together they dive into authenticity, self-expression, neurodiversity, personal branding, consumerism, gender expectations and the hidden politics behind what we wear.

We spend hours a day staring at screens… but what if it’s doing way more damage than we realize? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Eugene Lipov — a physician and PTSD specialist who’s worked with military veterans, special forces operators, and trauma patients for decades — to talk about what phones, social media, doomscrolling, and constant digital stimulation are actually doing to our brains. And honestly? This conversation hit home. We talk about: Why screen addiction behaves like any other addiction How social media is affecting sleep, anxiety, inflammation, and mental health Why people feel constantly overwhelmed and unable to focus The connection between technology and PTSD-like symptoms Why kids having unlimited access to phones should terrify parents The “brain rot” phenomenon and shrinking attention spans How stepping away from screens can dramatically change your physical and mental health Dr. Lipov also explains his push to change the term PTSD to PTSI (“post-traumatic stress injury”) to remove stigma and help more people seek treatment. We also get into psychedelics, ibogaine, psilocybin, trauma recovery, and some of the cutting-edge treatments being explored right now.

Feeling overwhelmed by Etsy?
Pricing handmade products on Etsy can feel weirdly stressful, especially when you're scared of charging too much, undercharging yourself, or getting it completely wrong.In this episode, I'm walking you through a simple beginner-friendly way to price handmade products for Etsy without using spreadsheets or overcomplicating it.We cover:
There are no two letters more disruptive in our time than AI. We're told it will create employment yet take jobs away; invent life-saving medicines yet enable superviruses; solve the climate crisis yet deepen it. So will it save us or damn us? Is AI the ultimate disruptor?This conversation, moderated by Nahlah Ayed, was part of the 2026 Charles Bronfman's “Conversations” series.Guests in this episode:Yoshua Bengio is a professor at Université de Montreal. He also has the distinction of being the most-cited living scientist in the world, in any discipline. He's co-president and scientific director of LawZero, a nonprofit startup dedicated to creating safe AI systems. In 2018, he was a recipient of the Turing Award, often referred to as the Nobel Prize of Computer Science.Cory Doctorow is a novelist, journalist, technology activist and the author of an astonishing number of books, both nonfiction and fiction. Among them: Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What To Do About It. And the upcoming: The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI.Astra Taylor is a documentary filmmaker, cofounder of the Debt Collective, and a writer. Among her books: Democracy May Not Exist But We'll Miss It When It's Gone, and The People's Platform, which won the American Book Award. Taylor also delivered the 2023 CBC Massey Lectures called The Age of Insecurity: Coming Together as Things Fall Apart.
Do you need a niche to start on Etsy?Yes… but not in the rigid, overcomplicated way the internet makes it sound.In this episode, I'm breaking down how beginner Etsy sellers can choose a niche without boxing themselves in too early. We're talking about the difference between having a clear starting direction and being all over the shop, how to test product ideas properly, and how to use Etsy data like views, favourites, and search terms to refine your niche over time.Inside this episode, you'll learn:
If unexpected wars and oil shocks have been big features of recent history, so too are economic recessions – another downturn perhaps ahead in 2026. Tyler Goodspeed, a former Hoover Institution fellow and author of the forthcoming book, Recession: The Real Reasons Economies Shrink and What To Do About It, joins GoodFellows regulars Sir Niall Ferguson, John Cochrane, and Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster for a tutorial on economic conditions and lessons past and present. After that: The three fellows discuss the latest in the Iran conflict including the feasibility of a peace agreement by week's end as demanded by President Trump, the odds of land forces entering the equation in the near future, plus possible economic hardship ahead should the fighting linger. Finally, in the “lightning round”: why the late Stanford biologist Paul Erlich was so amiss in predicting a doomed planet (not unlike climate alarmists) and H.R.'s favorite Chuck Norris jokes in honor of the recent passing of the famed Hollywood tough guy.

We're off this week, deep into planning and scheduling for next year. Please enjoy this Best Of episode, originally released in October.Hannah Storey, Advocacy and Policy Advisor at Amnesty International, joins the show to talk about her new brief that reframes Big Tech monopolies as a human rights crisis, not just a market competition problem.This isn't about consumer choice or antitrust law. It's about how concentrated market power violates fundamental rights—freedom of expression, privacy, and the right to hold views without interference or manipulation.Can you make a human rights case against Big Tech? Why civil society needed to stop asking these companies to fix themselves and start demanding structural change. What happens when regulation alone won't work because the companies have massive influence over the regulators?Is Big Tech actually innovating anymore? Or are they just buying up competition and locking down alternatives? Does scale drive progress, or does it strangle it?What would real accountability look like? Should companies be required to embed human rights due diligence into product development from the beginning?Are we making the same mistakes with AI? Why is generative AI rolling forward without anyone asking about water usage for data centers, labor exploitation of data labelers, or discriminatory outcomes?The goal isn't tweaking the current system—it's building a more diverse internet with actual options and less control by fewer companies.If you've been tracking Big Tech issues in silos—privacy here, misinformation there, market dominance over here—this episode is an attempt to bring those conversations together in one framework.Mentioned:Read more about the Amnesty International report and download the full report here: “Breaking Up with Big Tech: a Human Rights-Based Argument for Tackling Big Tech's Market Power”Speech AI model helps preserve indigenous languagesEmpire of AI, by Karen HaoCory Doctorow's new book, "Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What To Do About It"

Why does life keep getting more expensive, even as technology makes everything cheaper? Every year, we produce more, innovate faster, and work harder. Yet somehow, it feels harder than ever to get ahead. This episode reveals why that feeling isn’t a failure… its design. We uncover the hidden architecture of inflation: the mechanisms, incentives, and feedback loops that keep modern economies running on perpetual money creation. Inflation isn’t random. It’s engineered. And understanding how it works explains why you feel poorer in our most technologically-advanced age yet. Here’s what we’re unpacking:* Why “growth” has become a disguise for dilution* How new money always flows to the ultra-wealthy first (the Cantillon Effect in modern form)* The missing prosperity that technology should have delivered, and who’s capturing it instead* Why governments can’t stop printing (and why inflation is now policy, not accident)* How the system feeds on productivity itself, keeping you running faster but never getting ahead If you’ve ever felt like you’re running faster but standing still, this episode will show you why. See you on the inside. IMPORTANT: The Investor Lab is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

In this new mini-series — Why Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder (and What To Do About It) — we expose the hidden forces behind the squeeze: from the illusion of prosperity created by money supply growth, to the widening divides between owners and non-owners, to the strategies you can use to protect yourself and build real wealth today. The old rules no longer work: work hard, save diligently, and expect security. The new rules are here. And in this series, we’ll show you how to use them to your advantage. -- RESOURCES TO HELP: Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community Looking for a team to partner with you in your portfolio building journey?

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community What happens when trust in money dies? History shows it’s never gentle. From Rome’s slow debasement of silver to Weimar’s wheelbarrows of paper, every fiat collapse follows the same pattern: debasement → recognition → flight → failure. In this episode, we explore The Great Melt-Up — the moment when the illusion of stability shatters, and people rush to exchange paper promises for anything real: bread, fuel, gold, real estate, even Bitcoin. We’ll trace the cycle across centuries, uncover why inflation isn’t an accident but deliberate policy, and explain how it flips the script — savers lose, debtors win, and wealth shifts silently but brutally. Most importantly, we’ll zoom in on today: Why some currencies collapse overnight… and others rot slowly for centuries The hidden laws that drive people to hoard, dump, or flee money when trust breaks How gold, property, and even debt can flip from liabilities to lifelines in a melt-up The eerie pattern linking Rome’s denarius, Weimar’s marks, and today’s dollars This isn’t theory. It’s a timeless sequence — and it’s happening now. Fiat is the guillotine. Assets are the ladder. The choice is yours. See you on the inside.

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community We’re told Australia is richer than ever. GDP is booming. Wages look bigger. Property prices keep climbing. But if that’s the case, why does it feel like you’re working harder just to stay in place? This is Part 1 of our new series — Why Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder (and What To Do About It). This week, we’re exploring The Illusion of Prosperity — the gap between what the numbers say and what households actually feel. We’ll uncover: Why 'economic growth' is more mirage than reality How individual prosperity has collapsed by 99% over the past six decades. Why pay rises don’t stretch like they used to. The housing paradox: unaffordable for new buyers, yet still a wealth rocket for owners.
David Zahl's new book The Big Relief offers a mess of help for parents who are in urgent need of grace in this worn-out world.

We delve into Dave's latest release, 'The Big Relief: The Urgency of Grace for a Worn-Out World,' discussing why grace remains a vital topic.

The conversation touches on various aspects of grace, including its role in personal relationships, parenting, and religious life. Additionally, we explore the concepts of rest, play, and the stress induced by modern life's acceleration. The conversation concludes by discussing the joy and grace found in food, meals, and hospitality, reflecting on how shared meals and culinary experiences can bring grace and connection.David Zahl is the founder and director of Mockingbird Ministries, editor-in-chief of the Mockingbird website (www.mbird.com), and co-host of both The Mockingcast and The Brothers Zahl podcasts.

The books they want to pass on to someone else. The books that make for great book club discussions. One such is Carmageddon: How Cars Make Life Worse and What To Do About It by Daniel Knowles, a persuasive book that advocates for a world in which we rely on cars far less than we do currently.

Today, we're getting into the raw, unvarnished terrain of human longing - that aching space where despair meets unexpected grace. I'm excited to welcome back David Zahl on the podcast. He isn't here to offer another self-help platitude, but to explore something far more profound: how we find relief in a world that constantly demands more, faster, better. Imagine grace not as a churchy concept, but as a radical interruption - a surprising breath of fresh air in a culture suffocating on its own expectations. We'll talk about play, productivity, regret, and those moments when God whispers, "You are more than your achievements." This conversation is a map for the weary, a compass for those feeling crushed by life's relentless pressures. We'll explore how grace shows up in unexpected places - through music, through suffering, through the simple act of truly listening. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or like you're perpetually running on an endless treadmill, this conversation is your permission to breathe. To rest. To receive. So join us as we figure out what it means to be human in a world that rarely slows down.David Zahl is the founder and director of Mockingbird Ministries, editor-in-chief of the Mockingbird website (www.mbird.com), and co-host of both The Mockingcast and The Brothers Zahl podcasts.

Today's boys and young men are having a tough time. By several measures of success and happiness, they're struggling to keep up and turning to the internet for help, where many end up hooked by extremists. We need to find better ways to frame the problem, support them and push them in the right direction. The solution starts with a frank conversation about what's really going on, according to the experts on this panel from the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival. Richard Reeves founded the American Institute for Boys and Men and wrote “Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male is Struggling, Why It Matters and What To Do About It,” in 2022. He's joined by Michael Strautmanis of the Obama Foundation and My Brother's Keeper Alliance, along with Maryland Governor Wes Moore.

Your Parenting Mojo - Respectful, research-based parenting ideas to help kids thrive
Children's threats: What they mean and how to respond "If you don't give me a lollipop, I won't be your friend anymore.” Said to a sibling: “If you don't come and sit down, I'll take your toy.” “If you don't give me candy before dinner, I'll hit you.” Has your child made threats like this (or worse ones) when things don't go their way? Whether it's yelling, “I'll never be your friend again!” or threatening to hurt you, hearing these words can stop you in your tracks. Why do our kids say things like this? Where do they even get the idea to use threats, when we've never said anything like this to them and we don't think they've heard it from screen time either? In this week's episode we'll dig deeply into these questions, and learn how to respond both in the moment the threat has happened - as well as what to do to reduce future threats. You'll hear: A step-by-step strategy to deal with a real-life example - from the parent whose child said "If you don't lie down with me I will shatter your eyeballs!" The phrases we use with our kids that might unintentionally encourage this kind of behavior Specific, practical tools to use in the moment - and long before tensions escalate Are you ready to turn these tough moments into opportunities for deeper connection? Tune in to the episode today. And what happens to you when your child threatens you? Do you lose your mind? Do you freak out that you might be raising a child who needs help to defuse violent tendencies, and then yell at them because their threats are SO INAPPROPRIATE? Hopefully this episode reassures you that that isn't the case. But that may not eliminate your triggered feelings - because these don't always respond to logic. If you know you need help with your triggers but don't know what to do, come to the FREE Why You're So Angry With Your Child's Age-Appropriate Behavior - and What To Do About It (without stuffing down your feelings and pretending that you aren't angry) masterclass.
