Over Monitoring the Situation

Monitoring the Situation is a podcast about the forces shaping our moment—often quietly, sometimes invisibly, moving beneath the surface of a world with fractured attention.Hosted by two Gen Xers, Steve Skojec and Kale Zelden, the show explores technology, culture, science, philosophy, media, and geopolitics through a single guiding question: why are the things that are happening, happening?We live in an age of unprecedented information, accelerating technology, and constant noise—but progress in tools hasn’t always meant progress in wisdom. Each episode looks beneath the surface of daily headlines and cultural trends to examine the deeper currents at work: how the human mind adapts, how power concentrates, how meaning erodes or re-forms, and how emergent phenomena—from AI to surveillance to UFOs—fit into the bigger picture.This isn’t a news roundup or an outrage machine. It’s a long-view conversation about signal and noise, insight and illusion, progress and its costs.We’re awake, and we’re paying attention.

Narrative Shaping in the Digital Thunderdome | MTS #8

In a world drowning in manufactured narratives, how do you know what’s real? From the SPLC’s shocking indictment and the latest assassination attempt on Trump, to the mechanics of belief, permission structures, and why radical isolation + digital mythcraft turns smart people into fanatics. This is a raw, wide-ranging masterclass on: • Epistemic humility in the age of infinite propaganda • How stories become spirits that possess people • The SPLC funding the very “hate groups” it profited from fighting • What happened with the White House Correspondents' Dinner Shooter • Why the digital Skinner Box makes real-world violence feel like a video game • The coming explosion of analog as the ultimate rebellion against AI and hyper-reality If you’re tired of being spun, gaslit, and herded by the current thing — this episode is for you.

The AI SUPERSONIC TSUNAMI is Coming – Will It Destroy or Save Us All? | MTS #7

Elon Musk calls it the "Supersonic Tsunami" – and it’s about to hit harder than anything in human history. In this raw, no-BS conversation, Steve Skojec and Kale Zelden go deep on the AI asteroid heading straight for Earth. We’re talking: * AI & humanoid robots creating hyper-abundance (free stuff for everyone?) * Data centers in space, solar power from orbit, and robots building robots * Why college might become pointless and what “universal high income” could actually look like * The terrifying speed of change: AGI this year? Robots doing surgery better than humans in 3-4 years? * Jobs disappearing, meaning of life shifting, and whether this ends in utopia or chaos We don’t sugarcoat it. The hype is real. The threat is real. And the math? It maths. This isn’t another surface-level AI podcast. It’s two regular guys (not Silicon Valley bros) rabbit-holing the biggest paradigm shift since the Industrial Revolution – and what it means for normal people like us. If you’re worried about your job, your kids’ future, or just want to understand what the hell is coming in the next 3-5 years… listen to this.
