Dan has risen from the podcasting dead to let you know about his new podcast, Hard Know, made in collaboration with his brother David and many members of the wonderful podcasting community.
Hard Know is a narrative-driven, satirical, and creative dive into the many scams, cons, schemes, and deceptions that make up our world. Filled with original music, great writing, insight and information, it's all the best parts of Assorted Goods and much much more! Dissecting everything from memes to psychics, from con men to news empires. Is truth a matter of perception? Or suggestion?
Subscribe to Hard Know on your podcast player of choice, follow Dan and Hard Know on the socials @disinformeddan and check out the website disinformed.ca/hardknow
Good to see you! Hope you're well! :)

Well this is it, after 3 1/2 years, about 70 episodes, hundreds of thousands of words researched and written, it's time to wrap up the Assorted Goods Podcast. Joining Dan to look back on the podcast is fellow podcaster and producer Jeff Feightner, who has heard Dan waffle over the decision to move on, or keep going about 50 times.
Thank you to the guests who have stopped by and of course, to the listeners who have supported the show and gave it life over these years.
But never fear, there are new projects on the horizon.

Back at the start of Covid, I had teacher, football coach, and a good friend of mine Carlo Trentadue on the podcast to talk about the challenges of teaching at a time like this. Now, 2 years later and as we return to a "new normal", Carlo has come back to talk more about digital literacy, having a keen eye for quality information, navigating 'social norms' online, and so much more.
Of course there's a little football talk too.
Read some of Carlo's writings and musings on his website carlotrentadue.com

Our history textbooks and classes have never told us the full story of our own history, and when it comes to the stories of Black America, those stories are often never told at all. This episode I'm joined by Michael Motley of the OneMic Black History Podcast, as we get into what it's like to tell the stories of history that people either haven't heard, or don't want to.
We also talk about how to navigate the minefield of the politicization of teaching about racial history, and of course, there's a little podcasting talk as well. Enjoy!

When a war breaks out, a government has to build and deploy its lies as much as its military.
As Russia carries out a violent campaign of terror in Ukraine, we're taking a look at the narrative web of lies that President Vladimir Putin has spun, and how his tactics are part of a long pattern of leaders misleading their own people, and the world as a whole.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's... a government drone spying on you? 5 years ago Peter McIndoe thought up a conspiracy theory on a whim, and now, the Birds Aren't Real movement has hundreds of thousands of social media followers, branches in multiple cities, and a presence that is still confusing the major news networks.
But how does a satirical conspiracy theory fit into the modern age of disinformation? Are there risks? Is the idea of "fighting lunacy, with lunacy" a breakthrough?

Almost a decade ago, the National Football League pushed through a scandal involving the effects of the sport of the brains of its athletes. After years of denials and obstruction, the NFL settled a lawsuit in 2013 to provide healthcare benefits to its former players to treat their cognitive issues. The problem? It turns out the league actively used racist medical ideologies to make it harder for Black former players to receive their fair share of the settlement. And once again, the league scrambles to deny, cover up, and move on from this story.

So is this just a classic attempt to re-brand away from a bad reputation? And what is "The Metaverse" that the company is investing heavily into?
