Empowerment tools abound, along with reframes, upgrades, solutions and propaganda breakdowns, plus a generous smattering of cultural criticism, sprinkled with deep-diving, edge-pushing, solutions-based conversations with original thinkers, visionary weirdos and rebel badasses making the world more wonderful.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-04T04:20:00.065179+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/word-up-with-dani-katz-5207570"},"episode":{"title":"The Business of Division: Narrative Control Explained || Part 1","slug":"the-business-of-division-narrative-control-explained-part-1","published_at":"2026-03-11T01:20:44+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/word-up-with-dani-katz-5207570/the-business-of-division-narrative-control-explained-part-1","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/word-up-with-dani-katz-5207570","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/danikatz/2618684","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/113741/2618684/danikatz/2026_03_11_01_20_18_d851572d-5e65-49a1-891a-31bc1503f198.mp3","summary":"In this solo episode, I unpack the mechanics of narrative control — and why separation isn’t accidental; it’s strategic. From identity fragmentation and linguistic manipulation to NGO-funded activism, monument vandalism in Santa Fe, and my own lived experience of platform censorship, this episode connects the dots between local events and larger structural forces shaping public discourse. I also walk through a revealing and annoying interaction with ChatGPT that raises important questions about AI guardrails, framing, and who decides what information is “allowed.” This one is about seeing the water we’re swimming in.
