Music changes emotion. That's my number one statement. You need to know and admit that. Why? Because they know that as well and are using music to alter opinions, to sway elections, to manipulate laws and redefine right and wrong.
Ever wondered how music subtly influences your emotions? In this episode of 'Harmonizing Life: The Power of Positive Playlists', John Ivor Chester III dives into the powerful role music plays in our lives and the media.

He highlights the historical evolution of news presentation and how the strategic use of music can subtly influence public perception. It's a fascinating look at how something as simple as a background score can have a profound impact on how we feel and think.

John encourages listeners to broaden their sources of information and critically evaluate the emotional cues embedded in news broadcasts. By doing so, you can make more conscious, independent choices about what you listen to and how it affects you.
