Don’t Fact-Check My Vibe feat. Brian Reed and Hamza Syed
from TRASHFUTURE · host TRASHFUTURE
This week, Nate and Hussein speak with Brian Reed and Hamza Syed of the Trojan Horse Affair podcast, an investigation into a hoax letter in Birmingham in 2014 that–despite being known to be false–kicked off an intensification of surveillance and mistreatment of British Muslims. And everyone knew it was fake at the time! It is the official position of Trashfuture that you listen to the Trojan Horse Affair, which is available here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/podcasts/trojan-horse-affair.html Also, this episode was recorded before the Observer decided to make up imaginary vibes-based critiques of the show (it was recorded last week).
