Every atrocity in history had an audience.

Nobody wakes up one morning believing an entire group of people deserves fewer rights. So how do ordinary people come to accept extraordinary injustice?

In this episode of You Oughta Know Betta, AJ Miller investigates the stories that shape our beliefs and the powerful role narratives play in history, politics, and everyday life. From propaganda and public relations to psychology and media, we examine how ideas become "common sense" and why questioning the stories we inherit may be one of the most important responsibilities of a free society.

This isn't an episode about telling you what to think.

It's an invitation to ask better questions.
