It's a Jungle Out There: Internet Lies, Mexico City, and Joan Rivers

The Leonard Lopate Show | Jun 27, 2014

Charles Seife explains why, when it comes to the Internet, you shouldn’t believe everything you read—and how to tell the difference between truth and fiction.

And the one and only Joan Rivers takes us inside her everyday world and shares her thoughts on life, celebrities and pop culture.
