Episode 16: Farewell fake news!
<p>Fake or altered media is an accepted norm of our daily lives, but not only does it spread misinformation and enable fraud – it has completely eroded public trust in digital media as a whole.

We sit down with Truepic’s former VP of Research & Development, Sherif Hanna, to hear how their tech paves the way for a healthier and more transparent society. From elections to activism, Tinder dates to Airbnb.</p> <p>This is the last episode of ‘Can Design Save Us?’ for a while.

Episode 15: The magic of mushrooms
<p>Beyond soulful dishes to psychedelics, mushrooms and their root systems, known as mycelium, are proving to be critical to our survival. And London-based studio BIOHM is tapping into their true potential. This month, we talk to Director of Design Oksana Bondar about BIOHM’s mission to revolutionise the built world. She shares what it’s like designing with living organisms, how her early kitchen experiments led to a career in sustainability, and why she believes we’re just scratching the surface when it comes to truly symbiotic design.</p> <p>Writer & Host: Lesley Price<br /> Producer: Sidsel Kaae Nørgaard<br /> Composer: Kristina Lilleskov<br /> Soundbites: Undecided with Matt Ferrell (YouTube), Vox.</p> <p>/ Want to know more about this podcast?
