Snopes.com has been debunking urban legends and internet rumors since the mid-’90s. But in an age of unprecedented disinformation coming from the highest authorities and most ubiquitous online platforms, how does a professional fact-checker stay relevant? And sane?

This week on 2 Girls 1 Podcast, Alli and Jen (actors who perform weird internet stuff on stage) talk to Brooke Binkowski, managing editor of Snopes.
