    The Psychology of Marketing

    Send a text Why do we buy what we buy—often without realizing why?  In The Psychology of Marketing, we pull back the curtain on the subtle forces shaping your decisions every day. From colors, sounds, and scents to pricing tricks, cognitive biases, and emotional triggers, this episode explores how marketing is less about persuasion and more about psychology. We’ll break down how the brain really makes choices, why “$9.99” works, how brands sell identity—not just products—and where influence crosses the line into manipulation. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to spot these tactics in the wild and slow the process down before your wallet reacts. Because the most powerful marketing doesn’t feel like marketing at all—and once you understand it, you start seeing it everywhere.

    Gaslighting Explained: How to Protect Your Mind and Trust Yourself

    Send a text Gaslighting Explained: How to Protect Your Mind and Trust Yourself  What happens when you slowly stop trusting your own memory, instincts, and perceptions—and don’t even realize it’s happening? In this deeply reflective episode, we unpack gaslighting: a subtle but powerful form of psychological manipulation that erodes confidence, rewrites reality, and leaves people doubting their own minds. From everyday moments at home and work to its roots in history and pop culture, we break down how gaslighting works, how it differs from normal conflict, why it’s so effective on the human brain, and the real emotional and physical toll it takes. Most importantly, this episode offers practical, compassionate guidance on recognizing the warning signs, protecting yourself, and beginning the process of healing and reclaiming trust in yourself. If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe I’m just wrong,” this conversation is for you.  Cozy Earth Use Code INFOGO to get 41% OFF  Old Glory Use Code INFOGO to get 15% off at checkout Patreon Support the show by becoming Patreon .

    Pepsi's Navy (A Dash of Info)

    Send us a text   During the Cold War, selling soda to the Soviet Union wasn’t just difficult—it was nearly impossible. The ruble wasn’t convertible, capitalism was suspect, and Coca-Cola was seen as pure American propaganda. So how did Pepsi pull it off? This episode unpacks one of the strangest business deals in history: how Pepsi broke into the USSR through bartering, traded soda for vodka, and—briefly—became the owner of a Soviet naval fleet. From Khrushchev’s televised first sip to submarines changing hands, this is a story about soft power, creative capitalism, and the absurd ways the Cold War was quietly negotiated—one can at a time.  Cozy Earth Use Code INFOGO to get 41% OFF  Old Glory Use Code INFOGO to get 15% off at checkout Patreon Support the show by becoming Patreon .

    Saltville, Virginia

    Send us a text Saltville, Virginia — “The Mineral That Won Wars” Winter, 1863. Confederate soldiers chew on salt-cured meat. Civilians line up, ration cards in hand. No cannon fire echoes here—but this quiet Virginia town may matter more than any battlefield. Long before refrigeration, salt meant survival. It preserved food, fed armies, sustained livestock, and powered economies. And deep in the mountains of southwestern Virginia sat one of the most valuable salt sources in North America. This episode tells the forgotten story of Saltville—a place shaped by ancient seas, Indigenous knowledge, enslaved labor, and industrial fire. We follow how a single mineral made the town a Confederate lifeline, why Union troops risked everything to destroy it, and how salt works became battlefields in one of the earliest examples of total war. From Ice Age megafauna to Civil War atrocities to toxic cleanup scars still visible today, Saltville reveals a hard truth of history: wars aren’t won by generals alone—but by the resources that keep armies alive.

    How We’re Turning Orbit into a Junkyard

    Send us a text The Space Garbage Problem – How We’re Turning Orbit into a Junkyard Space isn’t empty anymore—and what we’ve left up there could shape the future of satellites, exploration, and everyday life on Earth.  Orbiting at 17,500 miles per hour, dead satellites, rocket bodies, and millions of invisible fragments form an unseen minefield above our heads. A piece of debris no bigger than a paint chip can strike with the force of a bullet, and one collision can trigger thousands more in a runaway chain reaction known as the Kessler Syndrome. In this episode, we explore how decades of launches, Cold War shortcuts, and exploding leftovers turned low Earth orbit into one of the most crowded environments humans have ever created. We’ll break down what space junk is, how it got there, why it’s getting worse, and why it matters to everything from GPS and weather forecasts to banking and disaster warnings. There’s no cleanup crew in space—and almost everything we’ve ever launched is still circling Earth. The question now isn’t if orbital junk is a problem, but whether we can stop turning the space around our planet into a permanent junkyard before it closes off the skies we depend on.

    Is our current Calendar Wong? (A Dash of Info)

    Send us a text Is Our Current Calendar Wrong? — On a Dash of Info We check the date every day—but what if the calendar itself is flawed? From ancient Egyptian star-watching and Babylonian moon cycles to Julius Caesar’s reforms and the Gregorian calendar we use today, humanity has been tweaking timekeeping for thousands of years. Each system solved problems… and created new ones. Drift, leap years, religious divides, cultural clashes—no calendar has ever been perfect. In this episode of On a Dash of Info, we explore why calendars keep breaking, how different cultures track time, and whether modern alternatives—from 13-month calendars to the radical Holocene Calendar—might finally fix what’s wrong. Is our calendar just a convenient compromise… or is it time to rethink how we measure history itself? Stay curious.

    Doctor Who?

    Send us a text The History of Doctor Who Regeneration, Reinvention, and a British Institution It looks like a police box.  Old. Blue. Ordinary. But step inside—and it breaks the rules of reality. For more than sixty years, Doctor Who has defied cancellation, criticism, and cultural change to become the longest-running science fiction television series in history. This episode traces the extraordinary journey of a show that shouldn’t have survived—yet keeps reinventing itself. From its humble beginnings as a 1960s BBC educational experiment, born in postwar Britain and shaped by the Space Race, to the accidental creation of regeneration—television’s most radical survival mechanism—we explore how one character, many faces, and endless reinvention turned Doctor Who into a global cultural institution. We’ll travel through black-and-white origins, Dalek mania, the psychedelic color era, behind-the-scenes turmoil, near cancellation, the long Wilderness Years, and the triumphant 2005 revival that brought the Doctor roaring back for a new generation. Along the way, we’ll meet the actors, creators, fans, and bold ideas that refused to let the show die. At its core, Doctor Who isn’t just about time travel. It’s about change. About survival. And about why, every time the Doctor reaches the end… the story begins again. Plus, stick around for 10 fascinating facts about Doctor Who, including lost episodes, Cozy Earth Use Code INFOGO to get 41% OFF  Old Glory Use Code INFOGO to get 15% off at checkout Patreon Support the show by becoming Patreon .

    Pepsi

    Send us a text Pepsi: The Challenger Brand Pepsi is the story of the underdog that refused to stay down. Born in a small Southern pharmacy as a so-called medicinal tonic, Pepsi went bankrupt twice, survived Prohibition and the Great Depression, and reinvented itself again and again to challenge the most powerful brand in the world: Coca-Cola. From selling twice the soda for the same nickel, to breaking racial barriers in advertising, to defining youth culture with pop icons and the explosive Cola Wars, Pepsi’s rise is a tale of timing, rebellion, and reinvention. This episode follows the twists, failures, and bold moves that transformed Pepsi from near extinction into a global icon—and asks what it really takes to go from challenger to cultural force.
