A glimpse into how people are manipulated to believe things that aren’t true.
A great series that starts off showing how a PR firm (Hill and Knowlton) helped big tobacco companies create doubt about the increasing scientific evidence showing the link between smoking and cancer. The focus shifts to climate change, how we were coaxed into doubting scientific evidence, and how climate change became a political issue. I’d like a follow up series on how the pro-Brexit campaign used the same tactics and how the knowledge of experts is being eroded by populism.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series of podcasts and as a scientist I am scared at how peoples view of science has been changed by business, lobbyists and government. Well worth a listen

Really fascinating. Great insight into the role of PR in selling lies and how it has shaped the modern world.

I wish this sort of podcast was more mainstream. If people were sat down in school and made to listen, we’d all have a better future.
