On this episode of the Big Time Talker Podcast, host Burke Allen sits down with Chad Lewis, author of The Persuasion Game, to discuss the evolution of disinformation, global political influence, and the hidden forces shaping world affairs.

Chad shares his experiences backpacking through Europe, teaching in Russia, and witnessing firsthand how foreign actors manipulate media and public perception. He breaks down how Russia, Turkey, and Venezuela have used influence networks to impact global politics—including within the U.S.—and how the digital battlefield has evolved. From the rise of disinformation campaigns to the political strategies of world leaders, Chad explains what’s happening behind the headlines and what Americans need to watch out for.
