Ben Maller returns to the audio dojo for a Saturday special, taking a deep dive into a world straight out of The Twilight Zone. It's a dystopian digital wasteland filled with bots, sock puppets, engagement farming, and clipping gone wild — the Voodoo Boogaloo. A place where everything is upside down: up is down, first is last, good is bad, wrong is right, and insanity passes for sanity. Drawing on Plato's Cave, Ben explores how millions mistake curated clips, filtered images, and viral narratives for reality when they're only seeing shadows on the wall. It's a journey through the Matrix of modern social media and the illusion factory that powers it. Plus, another shocking plot twist in the never-ending Life of Maller saga as Ben's home appliance drama takes yet another unexpected turn, proving that sometimes fixing one problem only opens the door to two more,
