Join Gal Beckerman and Talia Lavin in a conversation about how culture movements get started, how technology is changing the fabric of how groups form, and how people young and old can be pulled into a dark world filled with misogyny, racism, white supremacy, and antisemitism with just a few clicks of a button. Moderated by Stephanie Butnick, host of Tablet's Unorthodox podcast.
