  • How We Use News
    Kevin and Jaime, friends on opposite coasts who can agree or disagree randomly, dig into what modern information sharing is made of: news, analysis, op-eds, and satire. They discuss learning how to spot fake news, dealing with media bias, the evolution of news, and how they like to take their news (online with a side of minimally biased reporting).
    Online reporting and social media are relatively new to the realm of information sources. News outlets are still looking for best-practice to deliver news in a way the public trusts and social media sites are struggling to find their footing on responsible news sharing.
    Their expertise in regards to news and social media? Casual use.
    Their qualifications to discuss the topic? Randomly life experience and caffeination during recording sessions.
    Basically, anything they discuss? Don’t take their word for it - but they hope you enjoy the show!
