WHAT THE FACT? Finding the Truth in All the Noise

Author and narrator Seema Yasmin is on a mission to encourage the critical evaluation of information and its delivery systems. This expansive audio goes into depth on the variety of ways we receive and assess both accurate and flawed information, and incorporate it into our daily lives. Yasmin's peppy and conversational delivery keeps the tone reassuring. She is skilled at breaking down complex concepts into smaller, easy-to-understand parts, and she includes many real-world examples from both the past and present. Occasionally, Yasmin's narration speeds up to an uncomfortable pace. Nonetheless, her overall style suggests that she's speaking directly to the listener. The production uses sound effects sparingly to break up tension and bring humor to a potentially disheartening topic. N.M. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2022]
