Introducing: Preppers
G’day Fearmongers —
We’re back next week with all new A Rational Fear Podcast episodes.
But before that please enjoy this brand new podcast series I worked on with the UNSW Centre For Ideas called Preppers.
It’s about how we all need to get prepared for the end of the world together. We talk to so many great people for this podcast.
On the A Rational Fear podcast feed I’ve just put up Episode 1 but search for Preppers wherever you find podcasts or go to www.arationalfear.com to get the direct links.
If you’re heading to the Better Future Forum next week in Canberra, I’ll see you there!
Cheers
Dan
