Shownotes

There are two segments in this episode. First, we hear from Jay Van Bavel, an Associate Professor of Psychology & Neural Science at New York University, about social media, misinformation and collective behavior following a week in which he was brigaded by far right and anti-vaccine personalities for calling in to question the veracity of claims made in Joe Rogan’s popular podcast. And second, we catch up with Trooper Sanders, the CEO of Benefits Data Trust, about new broadband benefits intended to close the digital divide, and the coordination that is necessary among federal agencies to make sure the funds set aside by law reach the people that need them most.
