Ever notice how the structure of many podcast conversations is basically like the structure of a virus? 

They start with some popular and sensible topic, which most people agree with, and which lowers your subconscious defenses. For example, pesticides ruin the soil, and you should own chickens, but beware of the feed for them. Great start for a podcast. Or sometimes it's a 'good old boys' kind of intro, where everyone is jolly and you are included.

Then, when you're in an agreement mode, they inject the payload - unrest in country xyz, hidden motivations for protesters in the country most of the audience is in, some 'other' threat and how 'something has to be done about it,' etc. That's a payload that you are more likely to reject, which is why they get you into agreement mode first. 

What I like about YouTube podcasts is how I can often see the pod host giving visual confirmation at the point of the transition - they'll be nodding usually, showing that they understand the script. Also oftentimes the host is dressed less formally than the guest, which shows the power relationship ; similarly, the height of their heads in the video often shows the power dynamic. The message is : the host is basically a service provider for the agenda being delivered by the guest, and they know it and their signalling to the agent that they know it works as another subconscious lock-key to assist in delivering the payload to the audience.

Not all podcasts display these indicators, but a lot do. Its very useful to notice which messages are being pushed by the state. Conceivably non-state actors could push agenda, but I struggle to think of an example for this. The state absolutely dominates the market for mind control. When you notice the pattern, a lot of issues that fall into partisan categories become visible as psyops - for example, recently a lot of podcasts have been pushing a state-serving narrative about the murders committed by the federal immigration agents. Nevermind your personal opinions on it - the narrative diverges from the observable actions on video, and that alone tells you a lot about how the state operates and manipulates populations. Another popular topic is any kind of deficiency in China - maybe they are influencing Chinese listeners (there's always some demand for western information that's blocked in China), or maybe they're assuring their western listeners that China's not as great as they appear and you should remain confident in your leaders. Either way, its very easy to see this topic as a common memetic payload.

As you can see, the basic structure is like that of a virus. Your personal meme bundle - your opinions, which you relay to other meme bundles (humans) - is the body to be penetrated. A virus first unlocks the cell's defenses by presenting the right chemical key ; the podcast analogue of a virus unlocks your defenses by presenting the right memetic key. Then, the virus injects the payload. And finally, the result is that you carry the virus and inject it into the people you interact with.
