In mistrust we trust

What happens to trust when it goes digital? Could mistrust be more important? In this episode of Cultural Economy in the Kitchen, Philip Roscoe and Addie McGowan are joined by Kristoffer Albris, James Maguire, and Matt Spencer to explore the strange, shifting world of digital (mis)trust. From platforms and crypto to cyber security certification, mistrust emerges not as a failure but as a force that shapes systems, infrastructures, and decisions. Along the way: stories that undermine expertise, certificates no one quite believes, and the surprising idea that security might depend less on control than on care. In a digital world of scams, AI, and uncertainty, what does it mean to trust at all - and how does mistrust help that happen?
