Manage episode 269050000 series 2281817
This week, musician Antar Goodwin and comedian nathan timmel discuss the problem with facts. Most good journalism online hides behind paywalls; you click an interesting thumbnail, but you can't read the article without a subscription. Conspiracy theories and lies, on the other hand, are free to all. What does this do to society? Next, they ask whether it's better to be outrageous when trying to attract attention, or to be authentic and honest. Also: a sideways dive into Mötley Crüe being the most important band of the 1980s.
