this idea that like the systems that we built to serve us now like we're in service of them

I don't know maybe there's some comfort in the fact that even the most elite billionaires

on the planet feel as helpless as I do cool yeah Joshua Bellhumor and Malcolm Critcher are the hosts of the podcast, This Is Propaganda,

which reveals the hidden influence of propaganda all around us and how it continues to profoundly shape our culture today.

For this episode, the boys are here to tell me about the hottest new

trend in the billionaire bubble, luxury doomsday shelters. Over the last few years, members of

the ultra-rich have begun prepping for some apocalyptic future events, and they're doing it with style, while, as usual,

being really embarrassing about it. So join us as we enter their futuristic world,

try to understand their tech bro mindset, and take a look at the history of apocalyptic prepping

to see how unchecked capitalism has transformed the way we think about the end of the world.

I'm your host, Chelsea Weber-Smith, and this is American Hysteria.

I am so excited to welcome both Josh and Malcolm from This Is Propaganda, a very cool show that I know that all of you listeners out there with love, and we have a super strange conversation today,

it only feels like it's getting more relevant every day. So welcome to you both.

Thank you for having us. We're excited to be here. Hello. Before we really dive into the whole

luxury, doomsday shelter conversation that we're going to have.

I'd like to just get to know you both a little bit.

As I mentioned, your podcast is called This is Propaganda.

That's kind of like one arm of what you both do.

But could you tell our audience kind of about what your mission is with your podcast

and with this is propaganda in general?

Yeah, so this is propaganda is, you know, our goal is to reveal the hidden influence of

propaganda all around us and how it impacts culture.
