Our friends over at DeSmog Blog recently posted a podcast with John Stauber, founder of the non-profit Center for Media & Democracy (the group behind corporate watchdogging organizations, SourceWatch and PRWatch). He also wrote the book (with the winning title), Toxic Sludge is Good for You.

The audio interview, like PRWatch and SourceWatch, touches on propaganda tactics and the oft-deceptive facade of public campaigns across a range of industries and issues including pharmaceuticals, tobacco, food, war, and climate change. It's about twenty worthwhile minutes on the fascinating intricacies of spin.
