About this episode:
In this episode I sit down with filmmaker Andrew Treglia, best known for Jones Plantation, a fearless critique of power and the illusion of freedom. His new project, Barnum World, explores how we are manipulated not with guns and tanks, but with words, slogans, and false money.
We talk about the Barnum Effect, the psychological trick where vague statements feel deeply personal even though they apply to almost everyone. It is why horoscopes work, why politicians sound inspiring, and why phrases like “safe and effective” or “build back better” are so powerful. They are emotional hooks, not real plans.

Andrew shows how today’s leaders and industries are no different from P. T. Barnum, illusionists dressed in suits and lab coats. Once you spot the trick, you will see it everywhere.

Enjoy this conversation with my friend Drew, and maybe one day we will even make a film about the medical circus itself.
