If you're a fan of the game Dungeons and Dragons, you know the thrill of rolling a 20-sided die in hopes of deploying a stunning attack or perhaps fending off an owlbear. But could those same skills help us recognize lies on social media? On the latest episode of Meet Me Here, find out how this nerdy role playing game might be the answer to combating disinformation with UW professor Jin Ha Lee and D&D enthusiast "Happy Tracker Meow Meow" aka Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs.  

Both our guests will be presenters at Pax West in Seattle Aug 29th-Sept 1st.
