Narrative Machines

A podcast on memetics, myth and propaganda: how our narratives define the limits of our political and personal identity, how any era of civilization may be consigned to myth just as it was defined by it. Drawing on over a decade of interdisciplinary research, this podcast examines how ideas spread through the internet, shaping perceptions, reshaping societal norms, and constructing identities and politics—often without conscious awareness. By analyzing the narratives we create, consume, and reinterpret, Narrative Machines offers a timely exploration of the influence of narratives, encouraging listeners to reflect on how myths shape their lives, both consciously and unconsciously.Previous drafts of many of these ideas were published in 2017 in Narrative Machines (Mythos Media), in 2020 in Masks: Bowie & Artists of Artifice (Intellect/ University of Chicago), and various web publications. It is presented here in audio format for the first time with ad
