About this listen
Propaganda didn't disappear. It evolved and now, it's personal.
In this episode of The Stage We're On, we explore how influence has shifted from obvious messaging to something far more subtle: systems that shape what we see, what we engage with, and what begins to feel true.
From early public persuasion to modern algorithms, this is a look at how perception is quietly built and why the most powerful forms of influence today are often the ones we don't notice.
Featuring insights from Peter Schweizer, Luther Lowe, Robert Epstein, Marlene Jaeckel, Tristan Harris, and Jordan Peterson.
The question isn't just what we believe.
It's how we got there.
