Looking for a great weekend getaway, or something new to do in Central Florida? Rick and Cathy have some great places to see, things to do, and restaurants to try in Mount Dora. The small city's famous not only for its antiques; the downtown painted itself pink for a movie (which starred a waterskiing elephant and some fantastic Hollywood talent). Also, Pat Frank set his apocalyptic novel, Alas Babylon, in Mount Dora.

In this episode, we flipped our way through the pages of the Choose Your Own Adventure book, The Brilliant Dr. Wogan (1987), where a missing scientist might have a radiation neutralizer that can end the threat of nuclear war. How does the multiple ending and narrative freedom of this book genre help teach kids about nuclear dangers? What does this radiation neutralizer have in common with Ronald Reagan's Star Wars program? When is the book report on this story due again (this might just be a reoccurring nightmare the podcasts hosts keep having well into their 30s)? Tim Westmyer (@NuclearPodcast) and returning special guest Kevin answer these questions and more. Before we return the book to the library, we recommend: -Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (2018, Netflix) -Paul Lettow, Ronald Reagan and His Quest to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, 2006 -Timothy J.

One of the first works of fiction ever to imagine a post-nuclear-war America, Pat Frank's 1959 novel Alas, Babylon tells an intriguing tale of chaos, community, and survival, while also offering a glimpse into the cultural morality of the 1950s.

The Cold War brought with it new tales of nuclear war in science fiction, both in the early days of the 50s and 60s, and later, when fears began to rise again. In this episode, we look at the highlights of these stories and how they vary widely in how they address the consequences of nuclear war. Book recommendation: Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank. The Office of Technology Assessment's 1979 nuclear war study. Other works mentioned: On the Beach by Nevil Shute (un-recommended) A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller, Jr. Dr. Strangelove Fail Safe The Postman by David Brin The Day After WarGames

A BETTER PEACE welcomes Adam Seipp to discuss the world of Cold War literature. Adam's previous article in our DUSTY SHELVES series reviewed Sir John Hackett's 1978 best seller, The Third World War: August 1985. Hackett, deemed both the heir to Pat Frank and Neville Shute and also the ancestor of Tom Clancy and so many others, is at the center of this episode. Adam is joined by DUSTY SHELVES editor, Tom Bruscino, and podcast editor Ron Granieri in the virtual studio. The three look at the allure of the dark topic of the Cold War apocalypse story and the growth of the military techno-thriller. The book may not be a literary classic, but it sold quite well thanks to a breathless ad campaign that included the blurb 'This book occupies a place under the Bible on President Carter's desk.' Prof. Adam Seipp Is Assistant Provost for Graduate and Professional Studies as well as Professor of History and Associate Department Head at Texas A & M University. His research focuses on war and social change in modern Germany, transatlantic relations, and the history of the Holocaust. His most recent books are Strangers in the Wild Place: Refugees, Americans, and a German Town, 1945-1952 (2013) and Modern Germany in Transatlantic Perspective (2017) co-edited with Michael Meng. Thomas Bruscino is an Associate Professor at the U.S. Army War College and the Editor of the DUSTY SHELVES series. Ron Granieri is an Associate Professor of History at the U.S. Army War College and the Editor of A BETTER PEACE. The views expressed in this presentation are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. Army War College, U.S. Army, or Department of Defense.

You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of us: a “there’s a book for every reader” realization and a well-curated bookish shopping trip. Next, we discuss our current reads for the week. There are some seriously strong opinions about the books we’ve been reading lately. Lots of punching, for some reason! For our deep dive this week, we are shopping for the book lovers in our lives and have each decided to tackle different types of readers. We are hopeful that this will help you in your own gift-giving endeavors! As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we’d like to press into every reader’s hands.

We’ve got another “first” for the podcast this week! We are talking to our first return guest! You met Mary Heim in Episode 24 when she recorded with Meredith. Now, she’s back to chat with both of us and we’re so excited. Again. ;-) You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of us: an upcoming bookish holiday (now just past), finishing the second book in a series, and an audiobook binge. Next, we discuss our current reads for the week. We’ve got two current reads from each host and Meredith and Mary seem to almost coordinate their picks (we never discuss beforehand, so this is all coincidental), while Kaytee takes each round off to left field. For our deep dive this week, we surprise Mary with a virtual bookish baby shower. This deep dive focuses in on the board books and other titles for ages 0-2 and is the first in a series. We’ll do subsequent chats about favorite books for 2-4 year olds and 5-8 year olds as well. So many great titles in this section! As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we’d like to press into every reader’s hands. This week Meredith and Kaytee are pressing more picture books, while Mary chooses a lovely essay collection she goes back to again and again.

Today on Surviving Dystopia we discuss food storage. Is there a magic number or set process to this? Let's have a look into some of the things to consider. Starting what you are storing the food for, disasters come in all shapes and sizes. Establishing how long helps to determine what. Considerations include store bought foods, home canning, large quantities and rotating them. I offer a few tips and tricks for rotation ideas in this week's show. I also give you some ideas gleaned from fiction books and how these can help you also get ideas. Books I Liked include The Dystopia Series by none other than your host DJ Cooper.    another great find is Alas Babylon by Pat Frank always tops my list. Another great set of books is Once Upon an Apocalypse by Jeff Motes. Check them out!

Meredith is on a leadership retreat this week, so Kaytee is joined by her friend Morgan Tallman to chat books this week. You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each host: busting out of a reading slump (and some tips), and a bookish resolution from a young family member. Next, we discuss what we are currently reading, and this week includes some fantasy, a funny thriller (is that a thing?), and a few non-fiction picks. This week’s deep dive is a conversation with Morgan about re-reading. Since Meredith and Kaytee rarely re-read, we are chatting with someone who really loves to re-read books about what she gets from those re-reads. Morgan talks about the books she loves re-reading as well as the frequency of her re-reads. As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we’d like to press into every reader’s hands: a book to add depth to your Harry Potter love, and a sweeping historical novel with trigger warnings. As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode. If you’d like to listen first and not spoil the surprise, don’t scroll down!  .  .  .  .  .  3:04 - Endling: The Last by Katherine Applegate 3:09 - The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate 3:49 - Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik 3:58 - Uprooted by Naomi Novik 6:48 - My Sister The Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite 9:13 - Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman 10:12 - Stardust by Neil Gaiman 10:13 - The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman 10:29 - The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman 10:31 - Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman 11:24 - The Eternal Current by Aaron Niequist 13:44 - Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes 15:02 - By the Book Podcast 16:32 - Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns 17:33 - To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee 20:43 - Harry Potter Series 22:26 - Morgan counted up last year’s re-reads for me and found that she had had 55 re-reads of the 232 books she read in 2018 (including 3 re-reads of the Harry Potter series). 23:38 - Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank 23:44 - Books by Brene Brown 23:51 - Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens 24:26 - This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel 24:32 - Louise Penny Inspector Gamache Series 28:43 - Snape: A Definitive Reading by Lorrie Kim 34:48 - The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah 34:59 - The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah *Please note that all book titles linked above are Amazon affiliate links.

Zombieland is a super fun movie, but does it have something more to say about the way we see our society?  Today on the Horror Pod Class we are going to take a look at Zombieland and some other post-apocalyptic movies and books to see what they have to say about wish to just "burn it all down."  02:00- Tyler is reading tons and tons of academic literature to get ready for his summer teaching gig, Truman State University's Zombie Scholars Academy.  One paper in particular that we are going to talk more about today is "Zombieland and the Inversion of the Subaltern Zombie"  by David Christopher from the University of Victoria.  Click on the link to read it or just bust out your copy of Intellect Horror Studies, Volume 7 Number 1 (April 2016).  Tyler is also watching Rain on Netflix, which he says is pretty darn good. 03:30- Mike is reading We Are Where the Nightmares Go and Other Stories by C. Robert Cargill.  So far, it is an excellent collection of short horror fiction, if you are interested just click the link and head over to Amazon to read more and preorder. 05:00- You can support the Horror Pod Class by heading on over to Signal Horizon's Patreon page. It helps us to keep the lights on and we would love to provide some really cool Patreon perks, like the ability for you to ask questions of our really cool guests.  We recently had an excellent interview with Weirdbook editor Douglas Draa, it was Horror Pod Class extra credit episode #4. 06:15-  Looking for some free horror fiction around the internet?  You can sign up for Kindle Unlimited for free, but it is kind of hard to navigate and not all of the content is good.  In fact, in can be a downright pain to get to the good stuff, but check out this article where we discuss 6 horror books on Kindle Unlimited that really do make signing up worth it. 09:30-  Lets call class to session, ring a bell, and shoot a zombie.  Twice. 26:00-  Two books that we talk about are On the Beach by Nevil Shute and Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank.  Two totally different takes on nuclear apocalypse, but both worth a read.  Click on the links to head on over to Amazon and pick up a copy, either new, used, or eBook.  On the Beach was also made into a film in 1959.  Don't forget to hit up the Horror Pod Class Facebook group, let us know what you think of the podcast and what films, books, and topics you think we should discuss next.  You can follow Mike on Goodreads and Tyler on Twitter.  Make sure you also check out Signal Horizon for the latest horror news, reviews, and analysis.  Until then, class dismissed!
