Broken Brains and Alternative Facts

A Pastor and a Philosopher Walk into a Bar

Bonnie Kristian is a journalist who writes for Christianity Today and has been published in The New York Times, The Week, CNN, The Daily Beast, and many more. Bonnie wrote the book Untrustworthy: The Knowledge Crisis Breaking Our Brains, Polluting Our Politics, and Corrupting Christian Community. The title says it all. How can we have good faith conversations and dialogue when we're dealing with "alternative facts" and call every report we don't agree with "fake news"? These are important questions for all of us.
The resources mentioned in the episode are:

• Nancy L. Rosenblum and Russell Muirhead - A Lot of People Are Saying: The New Conspiracism and the Assault on Democracy
• Radiolab - Debatable
• George Yancy - "Dear White America"
• Bo Burnham - "Welcome to the Internet" [explicit]

In this episode, we tasted Meyers's Single Barrel Select Rum from Story Hill BKC.
