Darknet Diaries - Episode 65: PSYOP - https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/65/ https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/65/
I find the whole Darknet Diaries podcast really fascinating. It covers topics like hacking (black hat, white hat), activism, hacktivism, cyber security and so forth, with a narrative approach that's very pleasant to listen to. This episode in particular talks about what PSYOP (Psychological Operations) is (basically how to use techniques to manipulate people to reach an outcome both in a war scenario and not) by talking to experts in the field and telling their stories. The episodes are all very good and high quality in my opinion, in fact I'm still working my way through the whole backlog, but I don't have much left already. I picked this one because it left me particularly uncomfortable at the end, while at the same time having taught me something.
Each episode also lists its sources (of the information, ndr) on the episode page of their website, which I find amazing.

- forgingahead 6y agoJACK: Okay, so what is psychological operations? HENRY: Psychological operations is a skill set which is used to persuade, change, and influence the behavior of the target audience. JACK: To persuade, change, and influence the behavior of a target audience. To persuade, change, and influence the behavior of a target audience. Huh. HENRY: That could be with your adversary or with your friendly population. The main thing that PSYOP does not do is PSYOP – perform PSYOP on the American public. Sure they don't! This is as reassuring as "The NSA does not wiretap Americans".
