Title Not All Propaganda Is Art. Episode 7: Manufacturing Dissent Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Apple Podcasts/Radiotopia Media type Web Duration/Length/Size 59 minutes Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 19/03/24 Description In 1959, Anti-Americanism surged in the UK. England seethed over America’s treatment of its Prime Minister who was smacked down for daring to use diplomacy to resolve the crisis over divided Germany. In 1959 England also fretted over a new American export: the Beatnik. The British foreign office forcefully responded with a report advocating for “ an increased effort in the field of press, radio and television in the U.K. to say the right kind of things about the Americans.” This is the very moment Kenneth Tynan was commissioned to make a documentary for British Television about American Non-conformism and Dissent. We take a close look at one of the Cold War's most bizarre and inspired artifacts of Anti Anti-American propaganda.
