The Actual

The Actual is a podcast for the ever-changing times we live in. Since October 7 2023, our devices are constantly flooded with misinformation and disinformation from a multitude of unreliable sources - including social media, mainstream news agencies, as well as targeted and sophisticated propaganda machinery. The result of this is an increase in antisemitism worldwide, the elevation of extremist voices, with once relatively peaceful countries polarising with increasingly hateful divisions.And this is where this podcast, The Actual, comes in. Each episode, host Lissy Abrahams, has discussions with informed and courageous guests to explore the crucial events that reshape our humanitarian and geopolitical landscapes. These conversations are unique, psychologically astute, and necessary for navigating our rapidly changing world by cutting through the tsunami of misinformation, disinformation and noise to focus on what’s actually happening.
