Episode notes
NEW EPISODE! Carrie speaks with UK journalist, organizer, host, and long-time friend of the show, Michael Marshall. “Marsh” recently wrote a three-part series of articles in which he revealed the results of his systematic lurking within one online anti-vaccine group. The White Rose Movement has been stickering lampposts around the world with their mysterious, “The media is the virus” message, among others. What Marsh discovered was an underworld of fear and paranoia; and a gateway to something even more dire. Plus, compare strategies for tough conversations, and speak about Marsh’s Be Reasonable podcast, in which he directly engages with fringe believers.
