Season one, Episode Fourteen, “Run”

Interview: Fran TaborHello my survivor friends. Today we present a 25 minute interview of science fiction author and all-around interesting thinker, Fran Tabor. Don’t worry, we are getting close to the end of our summer vacation. Soon, you and I, and countless others, will be walking hand in hand towards the blinding sunlight of Season 5. I am working on the script for season 5. And by ‘working on’ I mean running out of time and worrying with intense apprehension at how we are going to extract ourselves from the story. We need to give our characters compelling finality to their arcs, we need to resolve a number of tensions, we need to answer several questions and do it all in an entertaining and fulfilling way. A world class way. I always get it done. I will power through and I’m sure we’ll all be satisfied. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Stoned Genius InterviewHello my survivor friends. Today I present a far-ranging, long form interview that I did for the Stoned Genius Podcast. The TLDNR is a) If you are looking for the main narrative this is not that. Season 5 will start up again at the end of the summer. And b) this is me being interviewed on another podcast and is over an hour and a half long – so you have been warned and c) I’ll drop the full interview here and will not put in any outro comments. The interviewer is Rodney – “the Stoned Genius”. He produces the eponymous podcast and interviews all kinds of different and interesting people. I enjoyed having a conversation with him. I don’t get enough opportunities to interact with interesting people. I used to travel more and could scratch that itch. These days I’m felling a bit of cabin fever. I need to find a way to get out more and interact. Send me suggestions on groups I should join. This interview covers a lot of ground. Rodney was more interested in my long-distance running exploits than my writing and podcasting. So, get ready to learn some things about me that you probably didn’t know. Rodney’s a curious soul. That’s what I love about podcasting. Any curious soul can find and connect with their tribe. If like what he’s doing you can find more at the Stoned Genius Podcast.…Show description: The Stoned Genius" is a podcast that blends humor and cannabis culture, exploring a wide range of topics through the lens of genius enjoying marijuana. Hosted by Ro Martin the show features discussions, interviews, and even comedic skits, all infused with a lighthearted and often irreverent tone.Like I said – I’ll skip the outro comments on this episode because the interview is lengthy.

Interview Roger Smith - Robotics and SciFihttps://www.rddsmith.comHello my apocalypse friends, Hope you are doing well. In this episode we treat you to an interview with Robert Smith where we talk about robotics and AI. For those of you time traveling in from the future, it is June of 2024 and we are between seasons 4 and 5 of the narrative. As is my habit I take a break from the main narrative over the summer months, but fill the airwaves, or I guess that would be internet-waves with other things. For this summer I’m going to run a number of interviews. Some where I am the interviewer, like this one, and some where I am even the interviewee. So – if you’re not interested in that, feel free to skip ahead to season 5. ...Website -> http://www.oldmanapocalypse.com Buy me Coffee -> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cyktrussellSubscribe page on Acast -> https://plus.acast.com/s/after-the-apocalypsePodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/after-the-apocalypseFacebook group -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldmanapocalypsePatreon to support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/AftertheApocalypseKindle Vella Story -> https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/story/B09LTRC8RHMerch Store -> https://www.teepublic.com/stores/after-the-apocalypse Twitter -> cyktrussell@twitter.comRunRunLiveWebsite -> https://www.runrunlive.comPodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/runrunlive Hosted on Acast.

After the ApocalypseA pandemic survival storySeason four, Episode twenty one – “The End Days” ...The next day the old man made it to the campus. He watched Zane attempt to skip stones across the campus pond with Wili. She still couldn’t get it right and, instead, turned to shove Zane from behind towards the water. Zane caught his balance, laughed, and pushed back. The shoving devolved into a giggling wrestling match. The old man turned to his son Paul and said, “Someone’s going to need to have the talk with those two or you’re going to be up to your armpits in babies around here.” ...Website -> http://www.oldmanapocalypse.com Buy me Coffee -> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cyktrussellSubscribe page on Acast -> https://plus.acast.com/s/after-the-apocalypsePodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/after-the-apocalypseFacebook group -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldmanapocalypsePatreon to support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/AftertheApocalypseKindle Vella Story -> https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/story/B09LTRC8RHMerch Store -> https://www.teepublic.com/stores/after-the-apocalypse Twitter -> cyktrussell@twitter.com Hosted on Acast.

Friday Night FeelsHello my long suffering survivor friends, this is Chris, and this is not a new episode, it is an announcement. Life got in the way and I’m unable to release Season 4, Episode 20 today on schedule. If you were one of the 483 members of our Facebook Group you would know this already, but I figured I’d do the respectful thing and drop an audio notice here as well. This is not something I take lightly. One of my strongest, most heartfelt, commitments is keeping to the publishing schedule for the podcast. I may be wrong, but I’m assuming there is a cadre of you who download and listen each week as they are dropped and for those people, I am violating a trust. I’m honored to serve you; I don’t take it lightly and I apologize deeply. Then there will be others of you who are binge listening through the series and hit this point and think to yourselves, “What the heck is this dope talking about?” For those time travelers I’ll leave this notice here as a token. A token to the fact that this is a human enterprise. Pause in your fast forwarding and consider that. A human enterprise. With all the frailty and baggage. With all the enthusiasm and love. With all the untidy things that bundle all human enterprises. Were that we were machines and could not break down. But we are human, and that is sublime. So, I am working on it and will get it out shortly. But, the lesson here, because if you’re curious there is always a lesson, the lesson is to not be so damn hard on yourself. Friends, you are doing the best you can. Give yourself a Mulligan every now and then. You have my permission. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
