The Allusionist

134. Lacuna

If you were in Brazil during the military dictatorship of 1964-1985, tried to bake a cake from a recipe in the newspaper, and were served with a sorry mess that tasted disgustingly salty, it wasn't your fault. What you thought was a recipe was actually a message from the newspaper that they were being censored.  Designer and researcher <a href="https://crystiancruz.myportfolio.com">Crystian Cruz</a> opens up the TOP SECRET files, to share the fake weather reports, single nipples vs a pair, soap opera characters getting bumped off, and the problems with kung fu.  Find more information about the topics in this episode at <a href="theallusionist.org/lacuna">theallusionist.org/lacuna</a>.  There is one swear towards the end of this episode.
