The diversion 50 propaganda? I beg you!

Description:

What do flat earth, bleaching agents against viruses and the perpetual ‘state radio’ debate have in common? In this episode, the divergence Sasha digs through the world of Conspiracy narratives – with a critical look, a touch of disbelief and a good dose of irony. Why do people believe in things that obviously contradict any scientific basis? And what does this have to do with uncertainty, echo chambers and self-staging?

Without being instructive, Sascha raises questions that occupy many: Where does healthy skepticism stop, where does targeted skepticism begin? disinformation? How do you recognise genuine media criticism – and what really distinguishes public service broadcasting from manipulated private media?

Those interested in the media, opinion-forming and the strange need of some people for ‘secret knowledge’ should not miss this episode. Not easy answers, but a lot of food for thought – in the style of divergence.

Sascha Markmann is a creative mind with a moving biography – and a person who has rediscovered life after a stroke. After working as a paramedic and elderly caregiver, Sascha found his way into creative expression. As a blogger, podcaster, musician and visual storyteller, he brings together things that just don't fit at first glance: He combines his keen enthusiasm for technology – from self-hosted servers to electronic music production – with emotional depth and an oblique sense of humor. His contributions are somewhere between borderline, acid basslines and assistance – honestly, directly and with a wink. Guiding principle: “Audio-visual dullness with no usefulness – but perhaps that's why it's so valuable.”
