Welcome to SmidgeCast, the podcast channel of the SMIDGE Project. We explore the surge of extremist narratives in Europe and their impact on mainstream discussions. We will focus on middle-aged individuals who, not being digital natives, rely on traditional and online media, making them susceptible to extremism. In each engaging episode, we bring together experts, academics and stakeholders to explain the intricate web of issues impacting this group. Through insightful conversations and expert perspectives, SmidgeCast aligns with the goals of the Smidge Project: counteract misinformation, foster critical thinking and uphold democratic values. Stay informed, stay resilient. #SmidgeCast #Disinformation
