A Funeral for Diplomacy

Special guest host Bryan “Hesher” McClain takes the helm for this week’s Sunday Wire as we examine the aftermath of the US-Israeli war against Iran, the funeral processions honoring Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and whether the current ceasefire represents peace—or merely a pause before another round of conflict. We also reflect on America’s 250th anniversary and what remains of diplomacy in an age defined by permanent war, political spectacle, and global uncertainty. Featuring Adam “Ruckus” Clark and Basil Valentine.

Founding Fathers’ Facepalm: A Boiler Room Special

As America marks its 250th anniversary, Boiler Room presents a special Fourth of July weekend broadcast examining the promises, contradictions, and future of the American experiment. Join Hesher and an all-star panel for “Founding Fathers’ Facepalm” as they ask what the architects of the republic might think about modern America—from perpetual war and digital surveillance to cultural upheaval, technocracy, and the enduring spirit of liberty. Featuring the special panel game The Boston Tea Party Toss, The Liberty Lantern, The Paul Revere Warning, and The Graveyard Groan, this Independence Day special offers a lively, thought-provoking, and often humorous reflection on 250 years of American history and what may lie ahead.
