Trending today: Victor and Aaron follow up on yesterday’s conversation, which began with a discussion of fake “content creators” pretending to be podcasters. Aaron’s point: in a world where fake news and real news coexist, and low-quality commentators are everywhere, it’s up to you, the news consumer, to make an effort to be discerning – and it’s up to us, the news producers, to be thoughtful about who we bring on the air to comment. Victor’s point, drawn from a recent YouTube experiment: one important key seems to be honest engagement – not just dropping briefly into a news outlet, but actually spending some time with it.
