Grifty is a late-stage capitalism podcast by and about false idols. Hosted by Azadeh Ghafari, Aaron McCall, Dr. Inna Kanevsky, and Julian Walker, Grifty dives into the strange, seductive overlap of politics, media, pop psychology, conspiracy culture, technology, celebrity, branding, and disinformation.We unpack how charismatic personalities, political movements, corporations, influencers, and institutions hijack the language of truth, freedom, justice, identity, and community to build audiences, sell certainty, and gain power. What starts as culture becomes content. What starts as belonging becomes a business model. And eventually, everything becomes something to monetize.Welcome to Grifty: a little snarky, a little scholarly, deeply historical, definitely political, and always asking the bigger questions.Follow us on all socials @GriftypodJoin us on Substack for exclusive content & show notes: https://griftypodcast.substack.com/For more info: www.grifty.orgEmail us: griftypod@gm
