Show Notes

Today’s guest is a real expert when it comes to communications. Tim Ward advises, trains and coaches environmental and development organisations to use effective communications to achieve their goals. In this interview we explore what we can learn from the Pro-Truth Pledge – an initiative that promotes truth seeking and rational thinking, particularly in politics.

Tim has teamed up with neuroscientist Dr. Gleb Tsipursky to help citizens learn to protect themselves from lies, and empower them to put truth back into politics. They co-authored the book ‘Pro Truth: A Practical Plan for Putting Truth Back Into Politics’, which we also unpack in this interview. Join us as we explore verification models, social media addiction and cognitive biases.
