About the Podcast

Propaganda Loves You
The world runs on stories. Some inspire. Some deceive. And some… are designed to control you.

Propaganda Loves You pulls back the curtain on the narratives shaping our world, whether they come from politicians, corporations, or the media. Through deep investigative research, historical analysis, and compelling storytelling, we break down how disinformation and propaganda works, who benefits from it, and why it’s so effective.

Hosted by a team with backgrounds in military intelligence, academia, and tech, this podcast explores how propaganda has shaped history, how it operates today, and how you can recognize it in real time.

Stay safe; stay aware, and remember... Propaganda Loves You.
