How does the distortion of storytelling and news reporting affect our understanding and our world views. Inspired by the 'We Need You' series of podcasts we invited Dr Richard Carver, expert in human rights and freedom of speech to critique the short series. Topics discussed include press, protest, deception and the awesome power of words. Lucie Dick and Victoria Greenwood are joined by Dr Richard Carver Reader in Human Rights and Governance at the Centre of Development and Emergency Practice (CENDEP), School of Architecture, Faculty of Technology, Design and Environment to discuss and critique the 'We Need You' series of podcasts that focus on current narratives around propaganda.
