Generationally Speaking

What does it feel like to journey through the wilderness?

In Season 6, Episode 5, we dive into one of the biggest challenges of our time: misinformation and disinformation. From social media algorithms to viral headlines, false or misleading information spreads faster than ever—shaping opinions, fueling division, and blurring the line between truth and manipulation. In this episode, we unpack how misinformation works, why it’s so effective, and how to navigate a world where not everything you hear, read, or share is trustworthy.

We discuss:

The difference between misinformation and disinformation

How digital platforms amplify false narratives

Practical ways to think critically and verify what you consume

Whether you’re scrolling social media, watching the news, or engaging in everyday conversations, this episode will help you become a more discerning and informed participant in today’s information landscape.
