Mind Fields is a narrative non-fiction podcast that explores the "Sixth Domain" of warfare: the human mind. This series traces the terrifying evolution of psychological operations (PsyOps) from the ancient world to the digital frontier.
Through historical case studies, expert analysis, and declassified documents, Mind Fields reveals how the tools of statecraft—propaganda, subversion, and influence—have been democratized, automated, and weaponized by Artificial Intelligence. It asks the critical question: In a world of deepfakes and generative AI, how do we defend the one thing we can't afford to lose—our grip on reality?
