Hey, and the thick listeners, it's Julio, and we have something very special for you

this week.

So it's a preview of a new show from our friends at the Boston Globe.

It's called Seymour, and you know me, I'm Basin Boston, a long time Boston Globe subscriber.

So super excited about this podcast, Seymour, where the host, Shirley Lyong, who's fabulous

and in Seymour, Shirley talks to the doers and thinkers behind the biggest ideas and debates

of our time.

So for example, will artificial intelligence make humans obsolete?

Can giving cash to low-income families brings stability to their lives?

Is the U.S. already in a cold war with China?

So politics, culture, entrepreneurship, women shattering the glass ceiling, and so much more?

So in this clip from Seymour, Joan Donovan first saw extremism up close more than 20 years

ago as the vocalist of a punk band in the Boston Underground scene, where she got punched

in the face by a Neil Nazi.

So today, Joan is a sociologist at Harvard, who studies disinformation and how it colors

American society, including the outsized influence that white supremacists and other

fringe groups hold in online forums and social media.

So we're in the middle of this 2024 presidential cycle, it's already beginning.

So Joan tells us what the public and the media can do to combat disinformation and limit

the reach of bad actors.

Okay, so here's the preview of Seymour.
