Episode 14: The Psychology of Persuasion - How Propaganda Works

Send a text What if the beliefs you hold weren’t entirely your own? In this episode, we dive deep into the unsettling but fascinating world of propaganda - and the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways it shapes our thoughts, behaviors, and even our sense of reality. From wartime posters to viral tweets, we explore the psychological tactics behind persuasion and how propaganda gets under your skin without you even realizing it. We break down tools like repetition, emotional manipulation, fear appeals, and manufactured consensus, and show you why your brain is more vulnerable to influence than you might think. Whether it’s political messaging, advertising, or the algorithms on your favorite social media app—propaganda isn’t just history. It’s happening now. Let’s pull back the curtain.
