Media Ecosystems Analysis Group

6 Episodes

Viral Networks is a podcast examining online mis- and disinformation from every angle with the help of the academics who study it. Across six episodes, each about 30 minutes along we cover political disinformation campaigns led by state actors, the organic spread of health misinformation around COVID in America and Nigeria, and the production and dissemination of disinformation across apps from Facebook to WhatsApp to Gab, in countries from India to the Philippines to America.
