From student blockades to media propaganda, we dig into how Serbia’s national broadcaster stopped informing — and started silencing.

A deep dive into the legacy of RTS, the role of REM, and the fight for truth in a state-controlled media landscape.We’re talking about the student-led blockades of RTS in Serbia — a bold protest demanding accountability from a broadcaster that’s supposed to belong to the people.

But this isn’t just about RTS. It’s about decades of media capture, propaganda, and what it means to live in a country where truth is filtered through a government lens.

We’re joined by a psychology student Milica based in Nijmegen, Netherlands — who helps us unpack the emotional toll of growing up under media darkness, and why the protests today feel so vital.
