Manage episode 433137149 series 3589255
Welcome back to "We're Still Spinning," your NEW(ish) favorite podcast where 2 very seasoned, semi-anon PR professionals scroll through the latest headlines to reveal the hidden agendas, brand strategies, and overall chaos of the media machine. And most importantly, we help explain how it all affects YOU. In this episode, we look at the misinformation case of the allegedly (but not) transgender Olympic boxer, Imane Khelif, and the dangerous news cycle swirl that ensued. (With the help of Elon Musk, J.K. Rowling, and Italy's Prime Minister, Giorga Meloni). This naturally brings us to our show's first official "Media Literacy Moment" - an educational interlude on how to know whether or not to believe what you're reading. We then stay on the topic of the Olympics and anti-gay/trans narratives and look at the PR statement put out by the Vatican, one whole week after the opening ceremony of the Olympics that left Catholics and Christians in a Last Supper kerfuffle. We then move to a lighter course of headline news and revisit the Curious Case of Ben and Jen. They didn't try to bury a divorce announcement the day Biden withdrew from the 2024 Presidential Race...so what is happening in the Bennifer PR Camp? Lastly, the biggest headline of the week...Hello, My Name is Tim Walz. There has been a PR timeline shift with the Democratic Party, and we speculate on who is behind it.
