Hard Know
Hard KnowEpisode 10 - The Storytellers (Part 2)It's the Season 1 Finale... Dan's in some trouble after finding out what's been going on all season. With Rupert Murdoch in his crosshairs, Dan must make his case. Is there any difference between the kind of narrative weaving that the media moguls of the world take part in, and what an everyday podcaster does? Or is it just a difference in the size of the audience?Taking a look at the life and empire building of the man behind Fox News, and a business model that employs the many psychological tricks of deception that we've touched on...

Hard KnowEpisode 9 - The Storytellers~BREAKING NEWS~ This episode, Dan's learned a lot this season, and he's feeling more confident than ever. We're in the business of passing along the ideas about what's happening in the world that you NEED to know! We rely on news to keep us informed, tell us the truth, and reassure us in an uncertain world. But from the beginning, news, money, and the power to sway the informational tides of the world have been too deliciously tempting to ignore. The News Barons of history have stood on the shoulders of the greats that came be...

Hard KnowEpisode 8 - The DivideUs vs Them, Good vs Evil, Left vs Right, Coke vs Pepsi. If you can dream it, you can divide it! As Dan's frustration builds with the things he's learned this season, it's time to figure out the forces behind the divisive news, politics and social commentary that is everywhere. Part psychological exploit, part news driven narrative, but it's 100% human. One side vs the other is simple, easy to understand, and makes our brains fell all warm and fuzzy.They say there's two sides to every story, but can it all be so simple? Or a...

Hard KnowEpisode 7 - The MeaningAfter getting rattled in episode 6, Dan returns to the studio to dive into the word of semantics, and language to figure out what's going on when we talk to each other, and when messages get sent. It's not about what you say, or necessarily what you mean. It's what the receiver of the message understands. A lot gets lost in the sauce when we communicate, so are we really getting through to each other? Is the host of this podcast getting his message across? Or is language a confusing mess where we do the best we can?
2023-03-291h 00Hard Know
Hard KnowEpisode 6 - The ConfidenceConfidence is KING! (so they say). But finding confidence isn't easy. It can take a lifetime to build-up, and a moment to destroy. Studies show you CAN fake it 'till you make it, and that there's no difference to the world around us whether we're truly confident, or just pretending. All great schemers have confidence, real or not. Confidence was the root word of the "Con Man", so is too much confidence a risk? Or does too little of it leave us at risk for exploitation? Dan and his producer are on a mission to fi...

Psychics and spiritualists of all kinds provide people with great comfort, but also, great pain. How do we navigate the lines between grief, belief, and the various ways we fill in the gaps of what we know about life itself?There's no crystal ball to give easy answers. Or maybe there is?

Assorted GoodsLies, and the Lying Liars Who Start Wars with ThemWhen a war breaks out, a government has to build and deploy its lies as much as its military. As Russia carries out a violent campaign of terror in Ukraine, we're taking a look at the narrative web of lies that President Vladimir Putin has spun, and how his tactics are part of a long pattern of leaders misleading their own people, and the world as a whole.
