Brian interviews two different guests.

First is Hillary Boehm-Edwards. Hillary is a first-year commerce student at McMaster University. She talked about an article she wrote and published in the Toronto Star, an opinion editorial regarding the dangers of media algorithms and their ability to polarize opinions. Hillary explained how media algorithms influence the content users see on social media, especially within a political context and elaborates on how these algorithms contribute to misinformation and vaccine hesitancy? The article raises the question of who controls a user's opinions - the viewer or the algorithm. Could you discuss the balance of responsibility between the two?

Then, Jenny Kim talks about the Kindfulness Workshop with the Urban Buddhist Monk's 6th Annual Kindful Canada Symposium 2023 event which happens this Saturday, Oct. 14th.
