Interview • Alexandre Alaphilippe: Countering Disinformation; A Community Approach
About this Episode
Welcome to "Some Dare Call It Conspiracy," where we delve into the complex world of conspiracy theories and disinformation. Today, we're joined by Alexandre Alaphilippe, co-founder and Executive Director of EU DisinfoLab, a leading non-governmental organization dedicated to exposing and combating disinformation across Europe. Our conversation explores the diverse forms of disinformation, including the sophisticated "DoppelGänger" campaign, which uses AI to spread pro-Russian narratives. We also discuss EU DisinfoLab's pivotal role in hosting annual conferences that bring together experts to tackle the evolving landscape of disinformation and misinformation. Join us as we uncover the intricacies of these campaigns and the efforts to combat them. - For more information on the exceptional work carried out by the team, please visit www.Disinfo.EU

Some Dare Call It Conspiracy is an award-winning podcast that examines conspiracy theories, misinformation, and moral panics — not from the outside, but from the inside.
The show is co-created and hosted by Brent Lee and Neil Sanders, both former insiders in the conspiracy world who spent years immersed in conspiracy belief, alternative media, and grassroots activism before walking away. Their experience gives them first-hand insight into how conspiracy narratives are built, why they feel so convincing, and why leaving those communities can be difficult.
Drawing on lived experience, deep research, and expert interviews — alongside a distinctly British sense of humour — the podcast breaks down conspiracy culture with clarity and bite. Episodes vary in format, but all focus on who benefits when misinformation spreads, how harm is done, and how bad ideas gain influence.
The result is a show that is sceptical without being smug, serious about real-world consequences without losing its edge, and unafraid to call out grift and power where it thrives.
Join us to discover where the truth… lies.
