Reality Propaganda

REMEMBER, REMEMBER…

Who writes history?

Who decides who’s a hero and who’s a villain?

And how much of what we remember is actually true?

This week we’re questioning the stories we inherit, the myths we believe and the convenient versions of history we’re encouraged to accept.

Guy Fawkes. Nostalgia. Political propaganda. National identity. The past, the present and the people trying to control both.

Because history doesn’t just happen. It gets remembered, retold, edited and sometimes rewritten.

And in an age of social media, AI and alternative facts, perhaps the most important question is:

Who controls the story?

Plus music, memories, and a Spurs team apparently enjoying a rather productive relationship with the letter C.

Are the real monsters hiding in the shadows, or are they the ones selling us overpriced pumpkins?

This week Reality Propaganda goes bump in the night!

We're exploring the ghosts, ghouls, monsters and mysteries that have haunted our imaginations for centuries.

From Britain's spectral black dogs and haunted houses to the things lurking in the shadows.

From the Mysteries of West Somerset and North Devon to The Return From The Island Of No Return.

The clocks go back. We get an hour back. But if you could go back in time for real, where would you go? Would you change anything?

We spend half our lives wishing we could go back and change things, and the other half worrying about what;s coming next. Meanwhile the present quietly slips out the back door - probably to walk the dogs.

Would you change history? Save the world? Kill Hitler? Or would you risk changing the entire universe just to see Spurs win the League... probably yes!

On this delightful award winning show we take a philosophical and uncomfortable look at our appetite for make-believe- from childhood takes to conspiracy theories, online misinformation and the comforting fictions we tell ourselves.

A lie repeated often enough can start to sound like the truth. and a truth nobody wants to hear can be dismissed as a lie. We need to learn how to tell the difference.

Do we believe a story because it's true, or because we want it to be? When does a harmless story become a libellous lie?

Why we watch, why we laugh and why we care.

Why do humans need to be entertained? and when does entertainment become destraction, propaganda or public humiliation.

Traitors.

The problem isn't that we want to be entertained. It's what we're willing to watch as entertainment.

1976 The doors got kicked in and all the unwashed, undesirables rushed in. Outrage on the telly. the Clash emerging, The Damned making a noise, a generation that did not wait for permission. And Spurs?? 1976/77 ended with Spurs relegated. 50 years on, we celebrate the lasting effect of the music, the style and the influence of punk.

(And hopefully not Spurs getting relegated!)

This week on Reality Propaganda , Summer 2026 has been glorious.

But my best summer? We're looking back at the summer that changed everything - while wondering how the hell we've ended up with no potatoes, weapons in space, Spurs being as bad as Man United and RSI
