On this episode of The Gap, Tammy and Althea take a dive into the middle school version of 'fake news': the rumor mill. Is that a more effective rebrand of the fight against mis- and disinformation? Untrue rumors about antifa arsonists starting wildfires in Oregon led the Douglas County Sheriff's Department to post to Facebook, imploring locals to STOP. SPREADING. RUMORS. Then we pivot into a conversation on the nature of another eerie term, political punditry. Does it have a purpose? If it makes us so mad, why does it continue to be so popular? Plus, we try to avoid our own personal Beetlejuice -- a certain B. Shapiro, (no the B doesn't stand for Beetlejuice... wait that's 2 times now!).
Plus, it's Membership Drive time! Donate to KBOO today for at least $25 and you an request a gift of a voice memo from The Gap hosts, Althea and Tammy. Your outgoing voice message? An mp3 for telling people off? A short guided meditation? You pick it, and we'll make it for you!
