Life at the End of the World

Welcome to Post-Apocalyptia, 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.

Whether it’s the haunting aftermath of a viral outbreak in The Last of Us, the moral dilemmas in The Road, or the chaotic survivalism in Mad Max, 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.

This week we discuss the 2010 Hughes Brothers film, The Book of Eli, starring Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, and Mila Kunis. We'll talk about the challenges of living in a post-nuclear desert; the power of purpose; and what it takes to be a survivor. Join me there, at the end of the world.
