New interviews throughout the week

This week we're hearing about the Genius Act, but what's happening at the local level is that when these crypto mines come in, they're also getting these really sweetheart tax deals. There's almost no regulation on the actual mines that are doing the crypto mining. It's corrupt and they're getting all these privileges and they're getting all of these handouts all the way up from the local to the federal level.

Candice Bernd returns to This Is Hell! to discuss her recent writing at The American Prospect, "The Crypto Racket." After the interview, we hear a classic "Moment of Truth" from Jeff Dorchen.

After a recent hike along a very small section of the Appalachian Trail, your bitter blind broke gap-toothed host Chuck Mertz noticed a small bug bite. Two weeks later, last Sunday, the bitten area had the tell-tale bullseye pattern left by a tick.

Immediately following our most recent show, Chuck was diagnosed with Lyme disease and immediately put on a regimen of antibiotics.

Despite one day of flu-like symptoms and ongoing aches and pains including headaches, Chuck's recovery is going well.

We return with an all-new show on Tuesday, June 3rd, streaming live at 10AM CDT and podcast shortly after here for free!

On our most recent show, we spoke with award-winning journalist Candice Bernd on what she calls the 'Crypto Racket.'

When we come back, we will continue our ongoing conversation on the many high tech digital scams being perpetrated against us and the planet. Our guests will be Emily M. Bender and Alex Hanna co-authors of, "The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech's Hype and Create the Future We Want."
