Podcast Brunch Club

In this interview, Stevie (chapter leader of our Minneapolis chapter) talks with Rhaina Cohen. Rhaina is the producer on the Hidden Brain episode, “Fake News: An Origin Story,” which we listened to as part of our listening list on Disinformation & Fake News.

Rhaina’s podcast picks:

• Patient Zero New from New Hampshire Public Radio: “Patient Zero investigates the spaces where people and pathogens collide. It is a story about Lyme disease, but it is also a story about uncertainty, and what to do in the face of it.”
• Dolly Parton's America from WNYC: “A deeply personal, historical, and musical rethinking of one of America’s great icons.”
• Rough Translation from NPR: “How are the things we're talking about being talked about somewhere else in the world? Gregory Warner tells stories that follow familiar conversations into unfamiliar territory.”
• Planet Money from NPR: “creative, entertaining ways to make sense of the big, complicated forces that move our economy.”
