About this Show
Which is why, the hosts of Cerca's Neil Innes and Andrés Bartos, have decided to take this misinformation and turn it on its head, upside down, the wrong way round and inside out.
Neil and Dré want to clear up some of the outright lies about nations we think we know by doing what they do best. Talking it out with someone who actually does know what they’re talking about.
Think of this as a kind of cultural Mythbusters.
Welcome, to MisInfoNation.
