The focus of this podcast was to talk about the process in which a rumor should go through before making it out to the public. How does one fact-check a rumor before reporting on it; why would inside sources possibly risk their jobs in order to leak this information; what are the difficulties in one would face when reporting on the rumor and how do you deal with the feedback from those who hear the rumors? During this SourceCast we also talk about two case studies in particular, a rumored Metroid-pitch by the company MecurySteam and the various big NX rumors that have been about. So without further-ado I hope you enjoy!
