Covering disinformation, propaganda, and the cult of personality

In this episode, Dilshana Parul, Shafiqur Rahman and I start with the plethora of propaganda, misinformation and disinformation against post-Monsoon Revolution Bangladesh. In the second half of the episode, we discuss the cult of personality around Sheikh Mujibur Rahman that was used by the fallen Hasina regime to drive the despotic political narrative.

(Recorded 21 October).
