#011 -  Digital Dangers and the Rise of AI

In this episode of The Rowbo Show, Joe and Mark explore the unsettling and rapidly evolving world of AI and its growing impact on our daily lives. Mark shares a bizarre—and disturbingly real—spoofing experience that highlights just how vulnerable we all are in this digital age. From the personal dangers of swatting, spoofing, and doxing, to the broader implications of AI-driven hiring tools, the conversation turns to Workday’s recent discrimination class action suit and what it reveals about bias in automated resume screening. It’s a timely and eye-opening discussion about technology, safety, and the fine line between innovation and intrusion.

Hosts: Mark Rowbottom, Joe Moralez

The gang talks to two mediums. One is an intuitive medium; the other is a paranormal researcher and a certified demonologist.

Live from Riverwest Radio, WXRW 104.1 FM in Milwaukee WI, Sheila and Bernie welcome two fascinating guests to On the Corner: AJ, a paranormal researcher and certified demonologist, and Kevin, an intuitive medium. Together, they discuss how it feels to communicate with spirits and what can happen when they have to deliver difficult messages.

The conversation moves from intuition and messages for others to the tools they use, strange encounters, demonic investigations, and the ways the dead still reach out to the living.

It’s a thoughtful, funny, and occasionally spine-chilling episode that asks: what does it really mean to listen to the other side?

Three brains. No plan.
Just questionable choices.
