Episode description

Gone are the days when anyone can say anyone about anything…actually, scratch that: misinformation is rife, and social media has arguably facilitated a golden age of ‘fake news’ to rival Octavian defeated Mark Anthony in 30BC (at last, we’re taking down the Roman Empire).

Join comedian Olga Koch and journalist Hussein Kesvani as they fact check Olga’s tweets, start a flame war with graphic designers and ask: why do so many virgins work at Time Magazine?

Human Error is a Daddy’s SuperYacht production for BBC Sounds.
