Episode 244: Plugged In Dives into the Summer Olympics, plus “Deadpool & Wolverine”

Our world is full of things we should know about, but maybe we don’t. The Plugged In team examines dark patterns online—deceptive practices and tactics that get you to sign up for things you don’t want or spend more money than you intend to. They’ll encourage you to keep your eyes open so you can protect your family. Then Paul Asay talks with Greg Kwedar, the director of the new movie Sing Sing.
