Unjerked Podcast
We are Unjerked - the podcast aimed at fighting echo chambers in a fun way. We are affiliated with jabde.com - a purposely fake satire website which publishes fake academic journal articles. We thought it would be a great idea to create an inverse platform, which focuses on finding the truth behind ”common knowledge” found on websites like Reddit or Twitter. We will do the best we can to focus on academic research as the basis for our podcast, along with other reputable sources. We’ll probably start out as a semi-monthly podcast, and see how things go. Stay tuned for more!
