Episode 8 - Social Framing of Airborne Illness A Pandemic Podcast

How is western society organizing and perceiving an ongoing pandemic? Why have a plan when there supposedly is no problem? We talk about the societal construct of framing and how messages can be portrayed, warped, and slowly believed. There are some big ideas in this episode that help make sense of how so many people are turning away from the truth, while Cheryl, Chris, and Kay refuse to look away. They deconstruct what is happening and analyze what language is being used, and insightfully, what language is being excluded.
