About this listen

 MAD Warfare™️ is a science-driven deep dive into the wild, weird, and sometimes wicked world of the “weaponization of everything.” But don’t worry—IT WILL BE FUN. Think of it as your covert ops manual for spotting how cyber hackers, rogue AI agents, and shady “bad actors” (who’d be terrible in a buddy comedy) are messing with our minds. Often in ways that evade detection… until it’s too late. With expert interviews from unexpected places and plenty of offbeat insights, this podcast reveals the hidden battleground of everyday life. Each episode is a call to action: for those in power to step up—and for the rest of us to gear up, because we might be all we’ve got. (Also, may feature puppets.)All Rights Reserved Social Sciences

  • Free Your Mind w Devsena Mishra

    Free Your Mind w Devsena Mishra
    Aug 11 2025

    Some of the best mind-hacking tech on the planet was invented before electricity.

    No code. No bots. No blue check.

    Just ancient mental engineering — sharp enough to survive empires, con men, and mass hysteria.

    Devsena Mishra knows it well. She’s been inside national security and the hidden rooms where influence campaigns are wired together. She’s seen how billions get nudged, poked, and spun into fighting someone else’s war — without ever knowing it.

    One of her favorite countermeasures? Sahaj intelligence.

    A kind of steady, unshakable clarity that makes you damn near impossible to program.

    In this episode:

    • Outrage as a global currency.

    • Why “calm” might be the most dangerous thing you can be.

    • How regular people become propaganda delivery systems.

    • Moves to make your brain slippery to manipulation.

  • Remote Warrior with Tanner Yackley

    Remote Warrior with Tanner Yackley
    Jul 28 2025
    What happens when war becomes a desk job?


    You wake up in Vegas. Sit down in a box. Fly a drone over Afghanistan. Watch your target for weeks—when he feeds his goats, when he hugs his wife—and then one day, you get the call: Clear to Strike.
    Then you go home. Eat dinner. And don’t talk about it.


    Former drone operator and founder of Remote Warrior, Tanner Yackley, joins us to talk about what remote warfare really does to the human brain. Spoiler: it’s not like a video game. From moral injury to misdiagnosis, from 3,000 hours of combat to launching a mission-driven mental health org, Tanner takes us inside the proverbial cockpit—and the real cost.


    We discuss:

    • What it’s like to fly over 1,000 remote combat missions (and then replay the strikes over and over again).
    • Why PTSD frameworks often fail drone operators—and what they actually need instead.
    • The haunting power of proximity in remote warfare: knowing your target’s daily routine before taking them out.
    • What the military still gets wrong about burnout, trauma, and training.
    • Why “it’s okay to not be okay” doesn’t work if no one believes it.


    This one might wreck you a little. It should.

  • XX Threat w Elizabeth Tate

    XX Threat w Elizabeth Tate
    Jul 14 2025

    Think warfare is just brute strength and bullets? HA! That’s a national security FAIL.

    Elizabeth Tate—author of Control Your Scroll and a consultant in psychology, communications, and organizational change—joins us to talk about the underestimated force of girlhood, social media, and so-called soft skills in shaping national and global power.

    From her first-grade psychological ops to advising government agencies, Elizabeth breaks down how subtle influence, digital addiction, and AI-powered distraction are quietly redefining warfare in the 21st century. And why overlooking women might be a nation’s most fatal blind spot.

    We discuss:

    • How "just a girl" can infiltrate secure spaces (without even trying).

    • Why social media is the most underestimated battlefield today.

    • The real dangers of AI (hint: not killer robots) and ways we can defend against them.

    • Her new book, Control Your Scroll, and how we can break free from digital addiction.

    Tune in to rethink power, influence, and the hidden battles for your attention.

    Control Your Scroll: Reclaim Your Brain from Endless Distraction by Elizabeth Tate
