14 May 2026, 4:00 am - 2 hours 8 minutes329: RAT CRUISE & FBI STEALS BEASTIE BOYS
On this episode of Without a Country, Corinne Fisher dives into one of the strangest and most unsettling stories of the week: a deadly hantavirus outbreak aboard a quarantined cruise ship off the coast of Africa. With multiple deaths, questions about human-to-human transmission, and passengers trapped at sea, the story quickly turns into something that feels ripped straight out of a thriller movie.
Corinne also takes a deep look into the disturbing online communities tied to the Columbine shooters and how vulnerable teenagers are being pulled into extremist internet subcultures through platforms like Roblox, Discord, TikTok, and private chat groups. The conversation explores loneliness, bullying, internet radicalization, and the growing difficulty parents face trying to understand what their kids are exposed to online.
Later in the episode, the focus shifts to AI, data centers, and the future of American jobs. As towns across the country push back against massive AI infrastructure projects, Corinne breaks down the tension between technological progress, environmental concerns, corporate power, and the fear of what automation could mean for everyday workers.
From cruise ship paranoia and internet cult behavior to AI expansion and political hypocrisy, this episode covers the chaos, contradictions, and weirdness shaping modern life right now.

23 April 2026, 4:00 am - 3 hours 5 minutes326: ERIC SWALWELL, YOU MESSY B!TCH!
Welcome to Without a Country, where we break down the biggest stories in politics, culture, and the internet without the usual filter.
This episode covers a wide range of topics, starting with the LA mayor race and why Spencer Pratt is being taken more seriously than people expected. There’s also a surprising shift from Perez Hilton after a near-death experience that completely changed his perspective.
We get into the situation between Alex Cooper and Alex IRL and what it says about the podcast and influencer space right now. From there, the conversation moves into a New York Times op-ed, the idea of a “liberal Joe Rogan,” and why figures like Hasan Piker keep coming up in media discussions.
There’s also a longer breakdown of Zionism, anti-Zionism, and how the meaning of those terms has evolved, along with how younger generations are viewing Israel and Palestine differently.
Later in the episode, we talk about the SantaCon fraud story and how something that’s supposed to be charitable turned into a major scandal. Then we spend time unpacking the allegations against Eric Swalwell and the larger conversation around power, politics, and sexual misconduct.
The episode wraps up with a deeper look at global conflict, including the situation in the West Bank and what it could mean going forward.
