MDR podcast examines shared history of tobacco, alcohol and fossil lobbies

Original: Sehr cooler Podcast, den ich gerade höre: "Reich" vom # MDR über die gemeinsame Geschichte der Tabak-, Alkohol- und Foss

A German-language podcast called "Reich" produced by public broadcaster MDR is drawing attention for tracing the common history of the tobacco, alcohol and fossil fuel lobbies and their disinformation campaigns. One listener recommended it enthusiastically, arguing it would qualify as true crime if much of the industries' conduct were not largely legal. The discussion highlights renewed interest in how corporate lobbying shaped public health and climate policy.

Why now: The podcast's framing of legal corporate disinformation as true-crime material is striking a chord with listeners.
