In September 2020, NLP launched its
podcast Is that a fact? Hosted by Darragh
Worland, NLP’s vice president of creative
services and a former journalist, the
inaugural 10-episode season featured
conversations with leading American
thinkers, journalists, foreign policy experts,
psychologists and authors. It explored how
access to reliable information — a core
element of American democracy — became
threatened and how our democracy can
survive the impact of misinformation.
