Peter Pomerantsev is a British journalist, author, TV producer and among many other things, a Visiting Senior Fellow at the Institute of Global Affairs at the London School of Economics.

I reached out to speak with Peter because of his brilliant book and the subject of this podcast, ‘This Is Not Propaganda’. The chat was a terrific blast for me. Peter brought tremendous enthusiasm to the conversation and as well he managed to show off his broad erudition in the explanation of politics and propaganda.

You can expect to hear in this podcast with Peter Pomerantsev about the following and more…

• Why Identity Issues Are At The Root Of Populism.
