Summary
Alternate Current Radio Presents - Boiler Room - Learn to protect yourself from predatory mass media In this edition of Boiler Room, Hesher is joined by Ruckus and Mystical Pharaoh for a deep-dive into the shadows behind modern headlines. The crew dissects the passing of Dick Cheney and the end of Pelosi’s congressional run, exploring what these political exits reveal about the shifting American power structure. The team also examines the UPS cargo plane crash and the increasing role of automation in transportation — leading into a conversation about “house robots,” digital surveillance, and the quiet normalization of cultural vampires feeding on convenience. Featuring: Bryan ‘Hesher’ McClain, Adam ‘Ruckus’ Clark and Mystical Pharaoh Website: https://alternatecurrentradio.com Support: https://alternatecurrentradio.com/support/ Merch: https://alternate-current-radio.creator-spring.com/
