    Why Fire & Steel Is Coming to an EndThis episode marks the end of the Fire & Steel Podcast.What started nearlyfive years ago as a solo project, with Toby interviewing guests from across theworlds of blacksmithing, craft, and beyond, gradually evolved over time.Eventually Onur joined the show, and later Chris came on board as well,creating a three-person format that allowed the conversation to flow morenaturally and made it easier to keep episodes going even when one personcouldn’t make it.The podcast changed shape a few times, as many long-running shows do. Like mostindependent podcasts, it was always something done alongside work, life, andeverything else, which sometimes made schedules difficult and episodes harderto keep consistent.About ten weeks ago weattempted a bit of a relaunch — aiming to make the show more structured andintentionally positive, with the goal of putting something constructive outinto the world rather than simply reacting to whatever was happening in the newscycle.But despite thatintention, the conversations often drifted back toward the same place:discussing the problems and negativity that seem to dominate so much of publicdiscourse.For Toby inparticular, that raised a bigger question about what the podcast wascontributing to the world. A big personal goal is to create things thatultimately honour God and bring something positive into people’s lives. When itbecame clear that the podcast was continuing to lean toward discussing thenegative side of things, it started to feel like the right time to step awayrather than continue down that road.So after five years,this will be the final episode of Fire & Steel.Thank you to everyonewho has listened along the way — from all of us, and very much from mepersonally.

    AI, Algorithms & American Noise
    Feb 28 2026

    Episode 11

    This week on the Fire & Steel Podcast we ended up going somewhere we didn’t expect — as usual.

    We talk about:

    • The rise of AI and where it’s genuinely useful (and where it’s just hype)

    • How social media is changing — again

    • Meta’s shifting tools, ad options, subscriptions, verification, and what it all actually means

    • The balance between building audience and selling your soul to the algorithm

    • The state of politics in America and how it influences global conversation

    • Media narratives, outrage cycles, and digital tribalism

    We also wrestle with bigger questions:

    • Is AI empowering creators or replacing them?

    • Are platforms helping small businesses — or trapping them?

    • Has social media made politics louder but less thoughtful?

    • And where does personal responsibility sit in all of it?

    It’s not a rant. It’s not a manifesto.
    Just three blokes trying to think clearly in a noisy world.
