On this supplemental episode we kick off a series of the Mic Check Radio Book Club. It's the audio book of
Propaganda by Edward L Burnays, published in 1928. Noam Chomsky has called this book "the main manual of the public relations industry". It may be 87 years old, but the ideas and concepts are still used (and successful) today. This book explores the psychology of manipulating the masses in order to influence consumerism, politics, social change and gender dynamics. On this episode we will hear
Chapter 1: Organizing Chaos and
Chapter 2: The New Propagandists.
