Shawn Ryan asks the question, “What if the chaos on your feed isn’t random?”
What if every trending topic, viral post, or emotional headline was part of a calculated operation — not to inform you, but to shape you?
That’s the unsettling premise behind Target Intelligence: PSYOP, a new 8-chapter digital audio series from IRONCLAD, hosted by former Navy SEAL and media powerhouse Shawn Ryan. It’s not fiction. It’s not conspiracy. It’s a deep, factual dive into the dark art of psychological operations — the invisible war fought through influence, fear, and perception.
Each episode of PSYOP runs about 45 minutes and moves like a hybrid between an investigative thriller and a classified debriefing. Shawn Ryan and the IRONCLAD team trace decades of real-world psy-ops — from Cold War propaganda and Russian troll farms to modern-day TikTok manipulation and Chinese cognitive warfare.
We live in an age where information moves faster than understanding. Every algorithm curates emotion; every post nudges belief. PSYOP doesn’t just expose this — it teaches you to see the strings being pulled. You’ll learn how entire populations can be influenced through carefully timed narratives, false consensus, and strategic outrage. It’s not just governments doing it — corporations, activists, and even brands are now players in psychological influence campaigns. For anyone who values critical thinking, security, or sovereignty over their own perspective — this series is essential listening.
This isn’t your average podcast on Spotify. Target Intelligence: PSYOP is an exclusive release through Ironclad’s platform. When you purchase digital access, you’ll receive a private link to stream it on your preferred app — Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or any RSS-compatible player. That exclusivity is part of what makes it feel different — more like classified intel than entertainment.
Target Intelligence: Psyop with Shawn Ryan
“From Russian troll farms to Chinese cognitive warfare, how PSYOPs shape nations, control minds, and influence culture.”
This is a brand-new, 8-chapter audio docu-series released by IRONCLAD in collaboration with Shawn Ryan. It’s positioned as a part of the “Target Intelligence” franchise (with PSYOP being the first installment) where the focus is on real-world psychological operations: manipulation, influence, covert campaigns—basically, the hidden war for your mind.
In a world of disinformation, social media-influence ops, state-level propaganda, this series tackles how the “invisible war” is fought through minds and narrative, not just bullets. For listeners/consumers who care about modern conflict, security, media literacy, or how power is exerted covertly, this series offers a deep dive into the mechanisms rather than the headlines.
