CultureDid a secret book fuel a witch-hunting frenzy in Europe?
The episode traces the influence of conspiracy theories over 600 years: printing helped spread European witch hunts while advancing the Enlightenment, the Nazis used radio for mass persuasion, and social media gave dictators new means of control despite promises of freedom. It also asks what AI may bring next.
