Zengineering: A Philosophy of Science, Technology, Art & Engineering
023 - On Fake News, Political Discourse, And Media Literacy
13 Dec 2016
Hey Zengineers! Episode 22 was our Season One finale so we took some time off to invite new listeners (welcome!) and to clean up our digital landing pads so we can communicate with all of you more easily. We’re definitely not taking it easy on this episode, though. This week we’re talking about fake news, how to understand the media landscape, and how we might be able to make political conversations more than just a frustrating and seemingly useless shouting match. This is our first cast since the US Presidential Election and we simply could not stay on topic with any other discussion. Let us know how you feel, especially if you are still impassioned by the current US or global political landscape. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/zengineering-podcast/support
