It seems like people are always talking about the end of the world, doesn't it? Y2K, the Mayan Apocalypse, Blood Moon Prophecies, nuclear war, killer robots, you name it. In Apocalypse Any Day Now, journalist Tea Krulos travels the country to try to puzzle out America's obsession with the end of days. Along the way he meets doomsday preppers—people who stockpile supplies and learn survival skills—as well as religious prognosticators and climate scientists. He camps out with the Zombie Squad (who use a zombie apocalypse as a survival metaphor); tours the Survival Condos, a luxurious bunker built in an old Atlas missile silo; and attends Wasteland Weekend, where people party like the world has already ended. Frightening and funny, the ideas Krulos explores range from ridiculously outlandish to alarmingly near and present dangers.

      Narrator Eric Michael Summerer deftly introduces the author as he investigates the thoughts of those predicting and preparing for turbulent times--terrorism, natural disasters, the end of the world. Summerer's Krulos is a first-rate interviewer who draws out even the most secretive individual. His appealing voice is realistic and respectful of each interviewee. Krulos visits conventions, apocalypse "reenactments," and the convincing people selling survival items. Scientists who explain why climate change is a monumental problem are the most disturbing. Listeners will meet the Zombie Squad, who mix hobbies with charitable works, and visit "survival condos" for the ultrarich, who are amusing but deadly serious. Nostalgic references to early L. Ron Hubbard and Jeane Dixon add history. Despite the subject, Krulos finds some optimism for the future. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
