How They Made Us Doubt Everything

Omnibus. Part 2

Duration: 57 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LWLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FM

From climate change to smoking and cancer, this is the story of how to manufacture doubt. In this series we reveal how some of the world’s most powerful interests made us doubt the connection between smoking and cancer, and then how the same tactics were used to make us doubt climate change. With the help of once secret, internal memos, we will take you behind the board room doors and give you a seat at the table where the PR strategies were drawn up. They’ve been so successful, they’ve managed to change the narrative on one of the most important stories of our time. This is about more than climate change, this is the story of how we have come to live in a world where our sense of shared reality is in retreat. Where nothing seems true, and everything is possible.
