New Episode of Look Up! with Gabrielle Bluestone, Former Vice Journalist & Author of Hype
I met Gabrielle Bluestone at the screening of the Netflix documentary on Fyre Festival. She was one of the executive producers of that documentary, and the woman who broke most of the story. A few years later, she’s back with a new book called Hype: How Scammers, Grifters, and Con Artists are Taking Over the Internet and Why We’re Listening.
I was honored to share some of my views on the problem with Gabrielle for this book, and it was fun to flip the script to ask her some questions on the topic.
