Conference on Misinformation

The podcast hosts share their experience attending a conference at the University of Florida focused on the prevalence of misinformation in media and journalism. They humorously mention that they are somewhat 'playing hooky' from other events and are surrounded by bookshelves filled with literary works they critique. The ironic tone suggests a light-hearted reflection on the serious implications of misinformation, while also revealing the awkwardness of discussing such heavy topics in a casual setting. Their mingling of personal anecdotes and conference themes illustrates the intersection of fun and the critical examination of media integrity.
