29<h2 style="text-align: center;">Life at the End of the World</h2>
30<p style="text-align: center;">Welcome to <em >Post-Apocalyptia</em>, the podcast where we dive deep into the bleak and fascinating worlds of post-apocalyptic fiction. From ruined cities to desolate landscapes, we explore the stories that envision humanity’s survival—or its struggle to rebuild—after the fall of civilization. Each episode features insightful discussions of books, movies, TV shows, and video games set in post-apocalyptic settings, analyzing the themes, characters, and the profound questions these stories ask about human nature, society, and the future.</p>
31<p style="text-align: center;">Whether it’s the haunting aftermath of a viral outbreak in <em >The Last of Us</em>, the moral dilemmas in <em >The Road</em>, or the chaotic survivalism in <em >Mad Max</em>, we dissect how these works reflect our hopes, fears, and anxieties about the end of the world. Join us as we uncover the philosophical, social, and emotional underpinnings of some of the most captivating and thought-provoking post-apocalyptic tales, with a few laughs along the way. Tune in for a journey through the ruins of fiction, where the end is just the beginning.</p>

32<p class="e-description text-two-line card-text">Back so soon? Yes, we are, with our first offseason bonus episode! Today on Post-Apocalyptia, we're looking at a 1985, low-budget film from New Zealand that is surprisingly popular: The Quiet Earth! Zac Hobson believes he's the last man on Earth. But when he finds out he isn't, that relief is marred by a disquieting truth: He may be at fault for the apocalypse--and it's going to happen again! Survivor's guilt, anyone? This and more, on The Quiet Earth! Join us there, at the end of the world. <br>The Quiet Earth can be streamed on Tubi, the Roku Channel, and Midnight Pulp; rented or purchased on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV; or (if you are very lucky) found on VHS.<br>Post-Apocalyptia can be found on most podcast apps, and on our website at https://www.postapocalyptia.com. We can also be found on social media on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Twitter/X, Bluesky, and Reddit. Have a story you'd like to see us feature? Or, want to join us as a guest?

This week on Post-Apocalyptia, we look at Alfonso Cuarón's 2006 film, Children of Men. We'll talk about terrorism, assisted suicide, and the death of the world's youngest person. We have combat, long action sequences, and perhaps the most fundamentally human apocalypse we've ever seen: The end of fertility and birth. And we'll ask ourselves, what keeps people going when the end is inevitable? This and more, in the season two finale of Post-Apocalyptia, Children of Men! Join us there, at the end of the world.<br>Children of Men is available for rent and purchase on various services, and is available on DVD and Blu-Ray. <br>To learn more about The Napoleon of Notting Hill, and dystopias in general, check out this video.<br>Information regarding declining birth rates can be found here.<br>

32<p class="e-description text-two-line card-text">Today on Post-Apocalyptia, we have something special. The story we're covering occurs on this very day--August 4th, 2026--and that is an opportunity we can't pass up! Professor David Perlmutter joins us again to talk about Ray Bradbury's 1950 short story, "There Will Come Soft Rains". We'll talk about the end of humanity, and the persistence of humanity's works. We'll think about the history that led to this story, and the perception of post-apocalyptic literature in the next generation. And we'll ask ourselves: Did Bradbury aim to predict the future here, or to prevent it? It's an occasion 76 years in the making, as we look at "There Will Come Soft Rains"! Join us there, at the end of the world.<br>"There Will Come Soft Rains" can be read in its original form here, and in its expanded form from Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles, here. The Uzbek animated adaptation can be viewed here.<br>Sara Teasdale's poem, "There Will Come Soft Rains", can be read here. Want to know more? Check out our bonus episode on the poem, its author, and her life and work, here! Also available on your favorite podcast app.<br>Post-Apocalyptia can be found on most podcast apps, and on our website at https://www.postapocalyptia.com. We can also be found on social media on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Twitter/X, Bluesky, and Reddit. Have a story you'd like to see us feature? Or, want to join us as a guest?

32<p class="e-description text-two-line card-text">We're back! This week, we're looking at our second alien invasion of the season, in the 2018 film, A Quiet Place. We'll talk about sign language and sonic weapons, family and forgiveness, and just what makes an alien invasion story believable. And we'll ponder the question: What will we do for those we love when we're faced with the end of the world? This and more, in A Quiet Place! Join us there, at the end of the world.<br>A Quiet Place is streaming on Paramount Plus, and can be rented and purchased on other services, or on DVD and Blu-Ray.<br>Post-Apocalyptia can be found on most podcast apps, and on our website at https://www.postapocalyptia.com. We can also be found on social media on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Twitter/X, Bluesky, and Reddit. Have a story you'd like to see us feature? Or, want to join us as a guest?

We'll talk about antiheroes and Freakers, soldiers, and cultists, and the best characterization in any game we've covered yet. We'll travel the Oregon wilderness and take on Hordes of Freaks (don't call them zombies!), and regain our--that is, Deacon St. John's--own humanity. And we'll ask ourselves the question that's on every fan's mind: Why doesn't this game have a sequel?! This and more, in Days Gone. Join us there, at the end of the world!<br>Days Gone can be purchased for Playstation 4 and 5, and for PC via Steam.<br>The Days Gone Podcast can be found on most podcast platforms; on Spotify, here; and on YouTube, here. Claire Weaver can also be found talking Days Gone lore on YouTube at Hey Drifter, and streaming gameplay at Cult of Terror.<br>Post-Apocalyptia can be found on most podcast apps, and on our website at https://www.postapocalyptia.com.

And its movie adaptations, as well. We'll look at grief, fate, time, and how people approach them. We'll take a ride on the last submarine in service, and the fastest car in Australia. And we'll ask ourselves the only question left that matters: How do you live when you see the end coming? This week, no one gets out alive, in a true end-of-the-world story, On The Beach! Join us there, at the end of the world!<br>On The Beach has remained in print since publication, and is available from most booksellers in print, ebook, and audiobook formats. <br>Post-Apocalyptia can be found on most podcast apps, and on our website at https://www.postapocalyptia.com. We can also be found on social media on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Twitter/X, Bluesky, and Reddit. Have a story you'd like to see us feature? Or, want to join us as a guest?

This week on Post-Apocalyptia, we look at Alfonso Cuarón's 2006 film, Children of Men. We'll talk about terrorism, assisted suicide, and the death of the world's youngest person. We have combat, long action sequences, and perhaps the most fundamentally human apocalypse we've ever seen: The end of fertility and birth. And we'll ask ourselves, what keeps people going when the end is inevitable? This and more, in the season two finale of Post-Apocalyptia, Children of Men! Join us there, at the end of the world.\u003Cbr\u003EChildren of Men is available for rent and purchase on various services, and is available on DVD and Blu-Ray. \u003Cbr\u003ETo learn more about The Napoleon of Notting Hill, and dystopias in general, check out this video.\u003Cbr\u003EInformation regarding declining birth rates can be found here.\u003Cbr\u003EPost-Apocalyptia will return in February 2027.\u003Cbr\u003EPost-Apocalyptia can be found on most podcast apps, and on our website at https:\u002F\u002Fwww.postapocalyptia.com.
