The Ivanka Trump Interview: How Podcasting Became Part of the PR Machine

We discuss Stephen Bartlett's recent podcast interview with Ivanka Trump, examining how it exemplifies the 'humanisation interview' strategy used by PR firms to rehabilitate powerful people's images. We break down how Bartlett's 96-minute conversation—featuring soft lighting, therapeutic language, and no challenging questions—failed to address Trump's documented labor practices, including her $800 million fashion brand built on factories paying women $1 an hour and her silence when activists were imprisoned investigating her supply chain. We explore how podcasting, once promised as an unfiltered medium free from gatekeepers, has become complicit in the same image-management system that dominates traditional media, and why this matters for journalism and accountability.
