In 2020, former ABC technology reporter Ariel Bogle took a significant look at the misinformation surrounding COVID-19. In a series for Radio National's 'Science Friction', Ariel, along with producers Jane Lee, Carl Smith and show host Natasha Mitchell, developed a three-part series, titled, 'Click-Sick'. The first episode explored issues of unintentional misleading information on the part of those sharing false ideas about the pandemic.
