Episode 11 - Analysis: The Fallout Series

Send us a text In this episode of Apocalypse Apocrypha, I do a deep dive into the Fallout series as research for an upcoming project. It's much like with the Prepper Fiction - I'm searching for what works, and what doesn't, and you might gain something from my questionable efforts. A lot of time and effort went into researching for this episode, and I watched a lot of other creator's dissections of Fallout. Some of this is my own, and while I stand by all of it - a lot of what I'm saying here has been said by others first. I've added the links to the essays and articles I used for my research on my YouTube channel (there's a pretty tight word restriction here). Check them out, there's a lot of dedicated Fallout fans out there and a lot of them are worth listening to.

Episode 10 - Discussion: Prof. David Perlmutter

Send us a text In this episode of Apocalypse Apocrypha, I have another chat with Professor David Perlmutter about the world's end - this time focusing on apocalypses of the alien variety. It's rambly, as always, but it's a good conversation for both writers and fans of the genre alike.

Episode 9 - Discussion: Timothy Berriault

Send us a text In this episode of Apocalypse Apocrypha, I talk with another Post-apocalyptic connoisseur - Timothy Berriault. Timothy is a pro when it comes to storycraft and TTRPG's, and he's *the* guy you'd want on your side when the world ends. We touch on a lot of topics in this episode, so get ready for a rollercoaster of a ride.

Episode 1 - Introductions

Send us a text I'm an indie author, and I'm starting a podcast so that I can document my exploration of the post-apocalyptic genre. With rambling tangents and informed ranting, episode 1 is a bit of a mixed bag. But, as with all introducitons, it gives a solid view of who I am, where I'm coming from and where I want to go.

dperlmutter

This is much more than a review and a critique of post-apocalyptic fiction and the genre as a whole. It really does a deep dive into the nuances and niches of the creative enterprise. He doesn't just ask what happens but how it was put together and what different scenarios make sense. Plus, he is very witty and brings in a lot of cultural references that people may not have heard.
