Tim, Jae and I decided to make a podcast - a radio broadcast to be precise - as our propaganda. A similar piece, and an inspiration at the same time was the "Cultural Revolution Radio" in the Morning Sun website. The Cultural Revolution radio had numerous channels that played songs and anthems that contained messages that was inspiring, or even persuading the mass. Most of the songs expressed messages of how godly chairman Mao is, and how his ideas should be considered with absolute respect. My group decided to make a similar propaganda, but a little step forward, adding our own section of reviewing the quotes of Mao from the Little Red Book. First off, we chose the most ideal anthem as our introduction called "Long Live the Helmsman Mao," which was then followed by our slogan. After that, three of the quotes that my group decided as worthy quotes of reviewing were read out and explained out loud clearly. Most importantly my propaganda's merit comes from the fact that it is designed for the mass, even the most uneducated people in the countrysides. Therefore the explanations were very simple and catchy, making it a lot easier for comprehension. In the end, I thought the fusion of 'instructing' people of Mao's sayings and playing the anthem at the same time is great for 'educating' people with propaganda.
