In Other Words
In Other Words is a podcast about how we know what we know—and why it matters. The stories we inherit, the systems we trust, and the “truths” we repeat are rarely as simple as they seem. Most have been shaped, spun, and repackaged until the lines between fact and narrative blur.
This show peels back those layers. Each episode looks at the assumptions beneath our politics, history, and culture, tracing how they took shape and what they leave out.
In other words, come unlearn with us.

Truth is not what is, but what persuades
This episode explores how truth loses ground when appearance becomes the measure of power. From the Renaissance to the age of Fox News, it traces how performance, fear, and repetition reshape public belief. It follows the evolution of persuasion—and the way our minds impose coherence on chaos, binding whole societies to the theater of their own illusions.
