About this listen

They sold it. We bought it. Now we’re unpacking it.

“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”“Live. Laugh. Love.”“Ten thousand steps.”“Diamonds are forever.”

We grew up believing these lines were truth, but they were marketing.

Lies We Bought is a narrative storytelling and cultural analysis podcast that explores how billion-dollar campaigns, catchy slogans, and pop culture myths shaped the way we live, shop, and see ourselves. It blends marketing psychology, history, and storytelling to uncover how everyday beliefs were built and sold to us.

From wellness trends to home decor mantras, we dig into the slogans that sold us serenity, success, and self-worth, and the emotional marketing that made them stick.

Because sometimes, the biggest lies are not the ones we are told. They are the ones we keep buying.

This one-minute teaser gives you a first listen inside the world of Lies We Bought, where nostalgia meets marketing and storytelling meets truth.
