This stuff is rife during the pandemic. And not just Bill Gates, 5G, bleach or hydroxychloroquine. 

Irene, among other things, shares a rumour that started in the Philippines that spiked the price of eggs. No one wants that.

Her humanitarian experience in information is fascinating. Currently tracking rumours in South East Asia from her home in Melbourne, there's great insight into the actions and reactions of viral, ironic, worried, conspiratorial and genuine transmission of misinformation.

Irene says about Africa Check, "an awesome fact-checking organisation busting all kinds of myths about COVID and everything else - they have a great podcast called 'What's crap on whatsapp' that debunks messages that are forwarded on that platform."

Looking for what might be the new normal, one person at a time who knows their field.

Each episode we ask experienced people how their specific field, life, industry or community will be different post pandemic.

There’s no way any one person can conceptualise everything that’s going to change, so I’ll keep it specific, based on as much experience as I can muster from people that are happy to think about what comes after.

Subscribe where you’re listening now or on you podcast app to get every new episode from people of varying backgrounds.

Some will speculate about what might be your situation, others won’t feel relevant but because they are able to talk about it they will be to other people.

Post Pandemic

What's going to be different after COVID-19?

It’s not about fabricating a future but what our lives may be like when the coronavirus pandemic is over.

Every guest gets the same 7 questions and with enough episodes we might be able to make some comparisons.

Irene has the maybe unenviable but fascinating job of rumour tracking during the pandemic.
