In this episode, we dive into George Orwell’s Animal Farm—a sharp, haunting fable about power, corruption, and the human thirst for control. From the animals’ hopeful rebellion to their slow descent into tyranny, we uncover how Orwell’s allegory continues to speak to politics, propaganda, and the cycles of history. Written in 1945, it feels eerily prescient in 2026 amid rising authoritarianism, AI-driven influence on elections, and elite power grabs that echo Napoleon's pigs.
