Ep 11 – Designing Deception

propaganda and shaping our world

Episode 11 - "Designing Deception"

What do suffragettes, cigarettes, Sigmund Freud, bacon and eggs with breakfast, bananas, and a coup in Guatemala all have in common? We'll explore the answer to that question in this week as we look at the lessons from an important man and contemplate the extraordinary effects he had (and continues to have) on our society.

It's propaganda, public relations, advertising and more on this episode of Ashes Ashes.
