This week on the podcast, we are taking you to SXSW and discussing a conversation I had with Sasha Issenberg about his new book, Lie Detectives: How Political Campaigns Fight Disinformation. You might remember him from his popular book Victory Lab, which was published after Obama won.
Sasha’s book looks at people in the U.S. and Brazil who were at the forefront of helping campaigns figure out how to combat disinformation—including when to ignore it. He also touches on how many on the Right view this work, and it’s something we talk about as well. You can read an excerpt on Politico.
We interview each other in this conversation given our various experiences.
A huge thank you to SXSW for the audio after my recorder ran out of batteries halfway through. 😬
Please enjoy!
