If you only listen to one episode of #SuzieFerguson's podcast series about misinformation, make it the final episode. Where they talk about the volunteers being trained to depolarise public debate. TBH I don't know why they didn't open with this:

7: The endgame

Yes, there really are reasons to believe society will not be overwhelmed by misinformation.

"I think people are craving genuine conversations on things that matter to them, and the FB comments section is the easiest place... to go. If you're at home and you have kids, or you have a job, or you're busy, you might not... have a chance to go out in the community and talk with other people about the issues. [#SocialMedia DataFarms] is where the conversations are happening."

"You're going to get more reactions and more attention on a post that has very polarised perspectives on an issues, and what I love about these volunteers is that they're going in and they're refusing to be polarised. They're refusing to say that everything is 'us vs. them', let's have a conversation and tease it out more, and that's a very difficult thing to do online. But they do it really, really beautifully."

Are you talking about RNZ podcasts like Undercurrent? They do have RSS feeds, eg:

I listen via AntennaPod.

@strypey
Oh, I couldn't find it the podcast in AntennaPod and I didn't see the RSS feed in the link you sent. Hmm, cool, sorry about that.

Weird. That's how I found it.
