How April Fool’s Day Keeps the Internet Conspiracy Machine Alive

ICYMI

About this episode

April Fool’s Day is every brand’s favorite holiday. Social media and PR teams get to make all the jokes their marketing department can come up with and face few repercussions. But it’s not all fun and games. On the show today, Rachelle and Madison talk about what nonsense the brands are up to this year, why we’re so easily taken in by internet hoaxes, and how skepticism can harden into something darker.

Podcast production by Daniel Schroeder.
