Surprising Ways Global Media Literacy Shapes Our Digital Lives —Matt Bailey | Ep 108

If you want to make better decisions about the information you use every day—whether for your podcast or your personal life—this episode is for you. I’m sitting down with Matt Bailey to chat about media and information literacy in a way that's super practical, honest, and (I hope) empowering.

We talk about how digital information has changed from the early days of the internet to the world of AI, and why it’s often so tough to know who or what to trust online. Matt shares real-life tips (and a few wild stories) that will help you spot the difference between what matters and what’s just noise.

Listen in and you’ll learn:

Why focusing on just a few key pieces of data can help your podcast or business grow (and reduce overwhelm).
How to ask smart questions about the information you come across—from ads to analytics to “influencer” stories.
Why every creator needs a basic filter for what to read, share, or ignore online.

Whether you’ve felt lost in a flood of charts or want to build more trust with your listeners, you’ll walk away with new ideas to use right now.
