Two journalists, Anna Springbok and Amir Ziani, accidentally discover a company with a bizarre specialism. Ares Consultancy causes intense arguments between people. Results guaranteed. While Anna and Amir try to figure out the methodology behind the company, they increasingly come into conflict with each other and the people around them. And that seems to be exactly what Ares Consultancy wants. But why?

The five-part podcast STOKER is about the influence that modern media has on all of us, on both a large and small scale. Ares Consultancy creates manipulative content, which they tailor precisely to their target audience and serve up insidiously via Google and Meta. In this way, they slowly harden their target's worldview. They turn a difference of opinion into an insurmountable divide. Yes, Ares is fiction, but in fact, this dynamic is exactly what we are seeing more and more – in everyone, even if we think we are immune to such manipulation.
