Episode 2
From gossip and rumours to fake news and misinformation, hosts Rebecca Ellis and Rachel Williams speak to some pioneering scientists in the world of conspiracy theories. From how and why they manifest, to the contamination of trust in evidence-based science and the Internet's role in how we socially and politically mobilise.
