How do rumors, conspiracies, and urban legends start? With the growth of instant communication, how do we know what or whom to believe? Should be we scared, or just laugh it off?

About Chelsea: At the ripe age of 14, Chelsea has many accomplishments to be proud of. An eighth-grader at a leading all-girls school in Los Angeles, her favorite subjects are history and math. Discovered by a top modeling agency at age nine on the beach at Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, Chelsea set aside her burgeoning after-school career in front of the cameras because the auditions conflicted with her team's basketball practice. Coming from a family with a strong tradition of philanthropy, Chelsea finds many ways to be of service to others. For example, immediately after Hurricane Katrina, Chelsea spearheaded a drive to collect enough bottled formula and diapers for 100 babies and brought it to a truck leaving for New Orleans. Finding herself among dozens of contributors being turned away because the truck was full, she found a secret way to get close to the driver and persuaded him to load the baby goods on the truck.

About Lisa: Wife, mother, theater director, and author, Dunn-Dern has been a TV series writer, produced and directed large-scale children's theater productions in Los Angeles, and is the author of a series of children's books. Her new book, 'Dr. Duncan Dog on Duty,' has just been published by Visikid Books. She produces and hosts a series of entertaining educational spots for ETV Ethiopian Television. Dunn-Dern's commitment to children's learning and literature has been recognized with awards and an endowment in her name at Seeds/UES, the laboratory elementary school on the UCLA campus. Her unique, upbeat outlook and parenting style have become a favorite with listeners.
