- 0:00Speaker 1: It's about having fun, having that escape, that one place

- 0:26Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration. Yo, what's going on? My name is Harrow.
- 0:29Speaker 1: I'm the host of the weekly podcast, Podcrashing and Podcrashing One-on-One.
- 0:35Speaker 1: These episodes connect listeners to podcast specialists around the world.
- 0:39Speaker 1: The goal has always been to inform our podcast community
- 0:42Speaker 1: with subjects that deal with everything and beyond. Now, the
- 0:46Speaker 1: greatest thing about podcast hosts, they are so open and
- 0:49Speaker 1: always filled with a spirit that spreads their skills as journalists,
- 0:52Speaker 1: medical specialists, true crime solvers, and gamblers, motivators, spiritualists, actors,
- 0:57Speaker 1: and even the children of very famous people. The thing is,
- 1:01Speaker 1: is that this idea came to me way back in 2019.
- 1:05Speaker 1: The goal was to adopt new ideas to help talk
- 1:08Speaker 1: directly to the podcasters themselves. The purpose of Podcrashing 101
- 1:13Speaker 1: has always been to help you build your own platform,
- 1:16Speaker 1: to promote it, and to maybe even earn some money.
- 1:19Speaker 1: This is Podcrashing 101. Episode number 506. How would you
- 1:27Speaker 1: know if a foreign country was reaching out to you
- 1:30Speaker 1: to spread their propaganda during these midterm elections? You ready
- 1:34Speaker 1: for this? You can't know. Not with certainty. The reason
- 1:39Speaker 1: falls into this category. Modern propaganda is designed to look
- 1:42Speaker 1: and sound 100% organic, emotional, and local. But there are
- 1:47Speaker 1: definitely signs of something not being what they first said.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Emotions first. Get the facts. Second, the content is designed
- 1:57Speaker 1: to make listeners of your podcast to get them angry, fearful, humiliated,
- 2:01Speaker 1: and extremely tribal. All of this before it unveils its evidence.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Also keep an eye on the foreign PR companies who
- 2:09Speaker 1: are putting themselves first over you. Aye, aye, aye. It's
- 2:14Speaker 1: called framing. It pushes division very hard. Not just for disagreement,
- 2:19Speaker 1: but the idea that people can be your enemy. Other
- 2:22Speaker 1: signs of a possible ambush from foreign propaganda makers falls
- 2:26Speaker 1: on repetition across all platforms. The same exact phrases, memes,
- 2:31Speaker 1: and slogans that they've used everywhere else. They're pushing themselves
- 2:36Speaker 1: out there. Podcasters seeking guests make it an open door
- 2:41Speaker 1: to step into their processing world. Did you actually do
- 2:45Speaker 1: what a podcast host is supposed to do? Do your homework.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Check up on the people that want your vibration on
- 2:53Speaker 1: that digital platform. Hey, coming up next, making the decision
- 2:57Speaker 1: to host an interview with a foreign group. Hey, thanks
- 3:03Speaker 1: for coming back to Podcrashing One-on-One. Making that decision to
- 3:07Speaker 1: host an interview with a foreign group who unknowingly knows
- 3:12Speaker 1: you and they're spreading propaganda through your podcast. More signs
- 3:16Speaker 1: to look out for. Anonymous and vague sources. The account
- 3:21Speaker 1: has no real identity, a strange posting history, or recently
- 3:26Speaker 1: created new accounts with a huge engagement. This is why
- 3:30Speaker 1: you should always do your background check into everything that
- 3:34Speaker 1: you're prepping your podcast for. Here's the thing. Real people
- 3:38Speaker 1: have nuance. Propaganda often presents complicated issues and completely obvious
- 3:44Speaker 1: and very one-sided. There will be fake urgency with the
- 3:48Speaker 1: pushers of propaganda. You got to pay attention to this stuff.
- 3:52Speaker 1: They want you to share the information before US streamers
- 3:55Speaker 1: jump onto it and go, what the hell is going
- 3:58Speaker 1: on here? Those making propaganda waves have a fair share
- 4:02Speaker 1: of misleading clips and cropped up videos. Don't ever forget
- 4:07Speaker 1: the real quotes can be edited into a completely different message.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Their content is designed to destroy trust. You know, like
- 4:15Speaker 1: that all elections are fake, all people in journalism are liars,
- 4:20Speaker 1: and nothing else matters. Researchers have found that propaganda works
- 4:24Speaker 1: best when evenly mixed shows quit doing their show prep
- 4:30Speaker 1: and they start exaggerating what they think they know. That's
- 4:35Speaker 1: something to think about long after any type of national election.
- 4:41Speaker 1: I'm Arrow, and that's Podcrashing One-on-One.
