About this episode

Eliot Higgins discusses open source investigations and the importance of evidence in the face of disinformation.

We've curated a special 10-minute version of the podcast for those in a hurry.     Here you can listen to the full episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-good-company-with-nicolai-tangen/id1614211565 This live recorded episode of In Good Company features Eliot Higgins, founder of Bellingcat, the world's leading open source investigative collective — a self-taught college dropout who began tracking the Syrian war from his kitchen table. Together with Nicolai Tangen, he unpacks how his team unmasked Navalny's poisoners and tracked the downing of flight MH17 using nothing but publicly available data. Eliot explains the discipline at the heart of his work: never prejudge a situation, follow the evidence before forming an opinion, and guard against your own biases. The conversation also explores why speed matters when truth competes with lies, how AI gives people "permission to deny reality," and what disinformation means for democracy. Tune in for a fascinating conversation!   In Good Company is hosted by Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management.
