Propaganda is more than a political statement seeking to convince people to join up, sign on, or act. We see propaganda all around us. Even on the whiskey bottles we buy. It seems each distillery likes to invite its customers to join in on a journey. Like all good propaganda, the labels want us to belong and be a part of something.

Be part of us and join in on the conversation where we look at propaganda, and its role in our world as it is today.

Listen here:
