Decoding the Lens Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/decoding-the-lens Decoding the Lens turns communication theory into something you can actually understand, one theory at a time. Hosted by Millian Quinteros, a graduate student at Eastern New Mexico University, each episode takes a single theory, from Agenda-Setting to Symbolic Interactionism, Framing to Social Penetration, and breaks it down twice: first in plain, relatable language anyone can follow, then again with the full academic depth and precision. Just clear explanation, built for real understanding. Whether you're studying for an exam, prepping for a discussion section, or just curious how media, relationships, and everyday communication actually work, Decoding the Lens is a growing library of theory explainers, built to be searched, revisited, and assigned, not just listened to once. New theories added regularly. Come for the one you need. Stay for the rest. MillianSpeaks.com.

Nobody lied to you. Somebody just chose the frame, and you didn't even notice you put on the glasses.  That's the kind of thing this show exists to make you notice, permanently.

One Theory. One Lens. A New Way to See the World.

Decoding the Lens takes one communication theory at a time and actually explains it. Plain language first, so it clicks immediately, then real academic depth, so you actually understand it, not just remember a vocabulary word for a test. And every episode, we also ask what the theory gets wrong, because understanding a theory means understanding its limits too.

Built for students who are tired of theories only making sense the night before an exam. Built for grad students and academics who want something rigorous enough to actually cite. And honestly, built for anyone who's ever wanted to understand why the news, the ads, and the conversations happening around them work the way they do.

New theories, released regularly. Follow now so you don't miss anything!
