Alternate Current Radio Presents: Boiler Room
Learn to protect yourself from predatory mass media
“Engineered Emergencies”
The Social Rejects Club: Hesher, Bazed-Lit Analyzer, Mystical Pharaoh & Ruckus
Listen to “TITLE” on Spreaker.
(Audio Podcast available after live broadcast)
Boiler Room returns live this Friday as Hesher and the panel examine a world increasingly defined by overlapping crises, expanding surveillance, and the rapid construction of a new digital infrastructure. From escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and the latest geopolitical flashpoints to Canada’s wildfire season, global heatwaves, AI data centers, and the accelerating surveillance state, we’ll ask whether today’s emergencies are simply being managed—or used to justify lasting political, technological, and economic change.
As governments and corporations race to build the infrastructure powering artificial intelligence, predictive policing, and algorithmic governance, the lines between security, convenience, and centralized control continue to blur. Meanwhile, information warfare, AI-generated media, and competing narratives make separating signal from noise more challenging than ever.
Join us as we connect the dots between the week’s biggest stories and explore the systems taking shape beneath the headlines.
This week’s topics include:
Strait of Hormuz escalation and the latest developments involving Iran
AI data centers and the emerging digital control grid
Canadian wildfires, Venezuela earthquakes, and climate emergency narratives
Expanding AI surveillance and predictive policing
Information warfare, memes, AI-generated media, and narrative manipulation
Grassroots resistance to technocratic infrastructure
Global AI governance and the future of centralized digital control
Host
Bryan “Hesher” McClain
Guests
Adam ‘Ruckus’ Clark, Mystical Pharaoh, Bazed-Lit Analyzer & Snow Himbo
