In 2023, mis- and disinformation is rampant on the internet. 

It inspires threats and violence. And it casts a dark shadow over our coming election.  

But what do we really know about what motivates the people behind it? 

RNZ’s Susie Ferguson has spent months investigating the problem in Aotearoa. 

In this special podcast series, she speaks with experts, community and political leaders. We also hear from people close to some of the most extreme elements in the disinformation community, and with those who have been active players themselves. 

RNZ’s Susie Ferguson presents Undercurrent, a seven-part series on misinformation in Aotearoa.
