Sonic Assault Weapons
A string of impossible crimes leads CRANK‑FM to uncover off‑world sonic technology capable of erasing memories, disabling crowds, and manipulating perception.

Everyone Loves Westerns

Children across the country begin receiving strange dolls that whisper instructions, manipulate emotions, and slowly turn their owners violent. CRANK‑FM traces the dolls to an off‑world manufacturer using them as psychic Trojan horses to infiltrate the next generation.

Fun with Conspiracy Theories
A lighthearted segment turns dark when CRANK‑FM uncovers that some conspiracy theories aren't theories at all-they're deliberate off‑world misinformation campaigns designed to distract, divide, and destabilize. The host breaks down which narratives are harmless fun and which are active psychological warfare.
