Large blobs of plasma from solar flares have the potential to distort Earth's magnetic field and damage satellites.

They encourage listeners to petition manufacturers of internet-connected devices, like Sony's new alarm clocks, to include the No Agenda radio stream. Listeners who successfully plug the show on mainstream media outlets are promised "PR credits" in the show's hierarchy.
