Propaganda 101

Alexa Redick

In this episode, we peel back the layers of propaganda—what it is, how it works, and why it matters. 

From yellow journalism in 1898 to TikTok memes in 2025, you'll trace the evolution of influence across wars, elections, social movements, and digital platforms. We explore classic propaganda techniques (like card stacking, glittering generalities, and name-calling), unpack landmark examples from U.S. history, and reveal how propaganda doesn’t just reflect reality—it often shapes what comes next.

Tune in and learn how to think critically, see clearly, and resist being swept away by the next emotional wave.
