AI, Algorithms & American Noise
Episode 11
Saturday, 28 February, 2026

Episode 11This week on the Fire & Steel Podcast we ended up going somewhere we didn’t expect — as usual.We talk about:The rise of AI and where it’s genuinely useful (and where it’s just hype)How social media is changing — againMeta’s shifting tools, ad options, subscriptions, verification, and what it all actually meansThe balance between building audience and selling your soul to the algorithmThe state of politics in America and how it influences global conversationMedia narratives, outrage cycles, and digital tribalismWe also wrestle with bigger questions:Is AI empowering creators or replacing them?Are platforms helping small businesses — or trapping them?Has social media made politics louder but less thoughtful?And where does personal responsibility sit in all of it?It’s not a rant. It’s not a manifesto.Just three blokes trying to think clearly in a noisy world.Support us at Patreon https://www.patreon.com/fireandsteelpodcast or buy our merch tshirts stickers Find us athttps://www.instagram.com/fireandsteelpodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/murrillforge/ www.murrillforge.com Email info@murrillforge.co.uk Onur https://www.instagram.com/diesineveryfilm/YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/user/DiesineveryfilmChris https://www.instagram.com/full_steam_designs/Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/chrispowellfsd
