Ever wonder how tales more twisted than a labyrinth find their way into the zeitgeist? Pauline Hoffman, Ph.D. , an infodemiologist with a knack for unraveling the tangled web of misinformation, joins us for an eye-opening chat that's as enlightening as it is essential. Together, we traipse through the murky realms of modern-day witch hunts and the dire consequences of disinformation. But it's not all doom and gloom; Pauline's insights provide a beacon of hope, illuminating the path to discerning truth in a post-truth world.
This episode's narrative arc bends towards the bizarre and wonderfully human. We get candid about the intersection of science and spirituality, discussing how unexplained phenomena like goosebumps can coexist with the rigor of research. The conversation takes whimsical detours, too—imagine stumbling upon a roadside coffin for sale, sparking a quirky convo and a business brainwave. And for the bibliophiles, the buzz about Beekeeper's Bookshop holds the promise of a community sanctuary for literature lovers.
Wrapping things up with a heartwarming segment, listeners share their wildest stories and we honor the afterlife wishes of loved ones with a blend of sentiment and humor. Pauline's departure from our tea-spilling soirée leaves us not only pondering the complexities of our digital epoch but also holding onto the thread of human connection that weaves through every tale we tell. Tune in for a podcast that's as rich and robust as your favorite cup of Earl Grey.
