Abstract

This project is a podcast named “The ministry of Nonsense”. The podcast contains one episode titled “The Economy is Thriving (If You Ignore Reality)” in which two speakers (a Minister and a host) share a “exciting” news to the public. Host’s name is Tweet and Minister’s name is Penny Gone. There are two broader themes: Inflation, which is inspired by Trump’s tariff decision and “Patriot tax” which shapes a promise that never come. Also, the podcast itself served the purpose of revealing the role of media in bureaucracy, while at the same time illustrating a contrast between serious and unserious.
