Most people think propaganda is obvious.

It isn’t.

It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t force.
It quietly shapes what you believe… until it feels like your own truth.

In this episode of Beyond This, Matilda explores how propaganda operates across religion, politics, and modern spirituality—and why even the most well-meaning belief systems can influence the way we think, learn, and trust ourselves.

With insights inspired by Edward Bernays—the man who understood how to shape public perception without people realising—it becomes clear that influence is not something happening “out there”… it’s something we’re all part of.

Including an interview with Rod Smith Historian surrounding Propaganda, media and political and religious influence. 

This episode will challenge you to ask:

  • Where did my beliefs come from?
  • Am I thinking—or repeating?
  • What does truth actually feel like for me?

Includes a guided meditation to help you reconnect with your own inner knowing and begin separating external influence from personal truth.

This is not about what to believe.

It’s about learning how to trust yourself.
