Undercover
A young Russian journalist accidentally gets a job in a fake news factory.
Vitaly Bespalov wrote fake news at a Russian troll farm. He tells us the real story of what he found.
Also: Boston author, Louie Cronin, on how she lost her Boston accent; we meet a professional accent coach who can teach you to impersonate anybody; we find out why the US military tried to erase the story of Donald Nichols, an Air Force officer who played an outsize role in the Korean War; plus we remember World War II spy hero Jeannie Rousseau de Clarens.
