#217 November 1st, 2021 [Rigged]

When you woke up this morning, did you realize that you were gearing up to be bombarded by multitudes of carefully-crafted messages from companies, industries, and even governments? Worse, did you know that some of those messages are designed to intentionally keep you as far away from the truth as possible?

On Amy Westervelt's Rigged, you’ll start off by learning how bacon made its way to your balanced breakfast and soon realize that what we call “public relations” today is identical to the tightly controlled outward messaging also known as propaganda.

If you liked Drilled, you’re going to enjoy Rigged. More importantly, if you like thinking critically about the messages you're regularly battered with, you'll listen through the 6 episodes of Rigged and use what you learn when you're being subjected to propaganda and systemic disinformation, all so you can avoid the bullshit.

As a podcast, Rigged is captivating. As a resource for existing in the age of disinformation, it's just the start. Along with the podcast you get a crash course on the techniques, the players, and the impact on what we consider our collective reality.
