On this episode of Mythic Existence, we have our first guest speaker: Natalie Christensen. Natalie has a master’s degree in folklore from Utah State University where we were graduate students together. She wrote her thesis about rumor and misinformation, and on today’s episode we talk about the spread of rumors, question how culpable tech companies are in their spread, and how folklorists can combat dangerous misinformation. So sit back and get ready for another great episode of Mythic Existence.
