About this episode

The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to another epidemic: misinformation. Mike Agerbo and John Biehler speak with Philip Mai and Anatoliy Gruzd from Ryerson University's Social Media lab about their project, COVID19Misinfo.org. We also look at a specific case of misinformation, known as #FilmYourHospital, and how it spread through social media.
