This Is Propaganda

• Hollywood and The Pentagon with Tom Secker

  It probably won’t come as much of a surprise that the Pentagon was involved in the making of Top Gun. What may be more surprising is the sheer scope of film and television projects the Pentagon has had a hand in—and just how deeply involved it is in the production process. From Pitch Perfect 3 to the reality show Wife Swap, today we’ll explore how the Pentagon became one of the most powerful forces behind Hollywood storytelling—and the long-term impact this influence has had on audiences both in America and around the world. Joining us is special guest Tom Secker journalist author and podcaster. You can learn more about Tom's work at spyculture.com Welcome to DoubleThink, conversations inspired by This Is Propaganda.

• Howard Gossage: 20th Century Master of Propaganda with Justin Oberman

  San Francisco ad man Howard Gossage (1917–1969) is a bit more under the radar than his Madison Avenue contemporaries, but his work in both consumer marketing and advocacy messaging was brilliant. His unconventional and interactive approaches to advertising felt like a harbinger of what was to come a half-century later with the advent of social media. We discuss his work and what it can teach us about propaganda. With special guest Justin Oberman, longtime advertising creative and social media influencer.

• Abortion Messaging in Post-Dobbs America with Amelia Bonow

  Liberal “pro choice” messaging has historically conceded the moral high ground (“safe, legal and rare”). Amelia Bonow helped change that as the leader of the Shout Your Abortion movement. In this episode, she shares her journey and discusses why the persuasion war is far less important than educating people on the options they still and will always have, regardless of legality.
