October 03, 2023 Hold Up: Misinfo Can't Live Long and Prosper
Season One is coming to a close, and we’re reflecting on how misinformation has reoriented the way we interact with the media as a whole. In this special, extended episode, our MJ comrades DJ Hudson and Brandon Forester join us to reflect on a variety of misinfo-related pop culture stories, including Stark Trek and #StopCopCity, and how these moments have an impact on our culture. We do some forecasting for the future and take a look at how our communities are actively fighting back.

September 19, 2023 Hold Up: Nicki Minaj Giving Medical Advice?
Dr. Minaj, is that you? People on social media had a lot to say when rapper Nicki Minaj tweeted that a COVID vaccination gave her cousin’s friend swollen testicles, left him impotent and resulted in a canceled wedding. We look at the power of celebrity, how public health communications can intersect with misinformation campaigns, and how the U.S. government failed us, yet again, in protecting us from a global pandemic.

September 12, 2023 Hold Up: AI Can’t Write TV
Studios and streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ will have you believe that writers aren’t necessary to make good TV. But we know that couldn’t be further from the truth. We break down the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, and spotlight how Hollywood corporations use mainstream media to spread misinformation about writers’ working conditions and pay. Writer and producer, Angela Harvey, joins us on this episode to talk about how writers have been fighting back and creating their own media to garner solidarity.
