Summary
Responding to a Brookings paper on podcast 'misinformation', Dave says podcasts escaped moderation debates because people understand they're conversations, and conversations carry opinions. Lunchrooms, churches and sidewalks hold far more potentially false information than podcasting. The idea of eradicating it is absurd, and if it doesn't feel absurd it borders on scary.

I think it's because people understand that these are conversations. And when you have conversations with people, people give opinions.

There's much more misinformation happening in lunch rooms and break rooms at work, then there is in podcasting by about a million.
