Marianna in Conspiracyland
What happens when you fall down the rabbit hole into a world of conspiracy theories? Marianna Spring takes us behind the scenes for the making of her new podcast on Radio 4.
Since the early days of the pandemic, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Disinformation and Social Media Correspondent, Marianna Spring, has found herself on the front lines of the battle of online disinformation and hate. And as a result, she's often targeted by the people who spread that disinformation and hate too.
For her new Radio 4 podcast series, Marianna in Conspiracyland, she's been investigating just how radical the UK conspiracy theory movement has become, and the conspiracy theory media that sits at its heart.
In this episode of 5 Minutes On, Marianna takes us behind the scenes, chatting to senior news editor Sam Bonham, about how long she's been investigating this, what it's been like to be at the centre of online hate, and what we can listen out for in the full series, available now on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds.
