Description

In this gripping episode, Dr. Gjoko Muratovski joins Dr. Michael Duignan to explore how the 1936 Berlin Olympics became one of the most powerful exercises in political propaganda in modern history. We unpack how Nazi Germany orchestrated the Games to manipulate global perception, influence international diplomacy, and lay the foundations for today’s mega-event spectacles. From torch relays and architectural grandeur to the dark art of image-making, this conversation uncovers troubling parallels between past and present. What lessons does Berlin 1936 still hold—and how can we decode the hidden messages behind today’s sporting showcases?
