Hello my survivor friends. Today I present a far-ranging, long form interview that I did for the Stoned Genius Podcast. 

The TLDNR is a) If you are looking for the main narrative this is not that. Season 5 will start up again at the end of the summer.  And b) this is me being interviewed on another podcast and is over an hour and a half long – so you have been warned and c) I’ll drop the full interview here and will not put in any outro comments.

The interviewer is Rodney – “the Stoned Genius”. He produces the eponymous podcast and interviews all kinds of different and interesting people. 

I enjoyed having a conversation with him. I don’t get enough opportunities to interact with interesting people. I used to travel more and could scratch that itch. These days I’m felling a bit of cabin fever. I need to find a way to get out more and interact. 

Send me suggestions on groups I should join. 

This interview covers a lot of ground. Rodney was more interested in my long-distance running exploits than my writing and podcasting. So, get ready to learn some things about me that you probably didn’t know. 

Rodney’s a curious soul. 

That’s what I love about podcasting. Any curious soul can find and connect with their tribe.

If like what he’s doing you can find more at the Stoned Genius Podcast.

Show description:

The Stoned Genius" is a podcast that blends humor and cannabis culture, exploring a wide range of topics through the lens of genius enjoying marijuana. Hosted by Ro Martin the show features discussions, interviews, and even comedic skits, all infused with a lighthearted and often irreverent tone.

Like I said – I’ll skip the outro comments on this episode because the interview is lengthy. 

Here are my updates:

Interview Roger Smith - Robotics and SciFi

https://www.rddsmith.com

Hello my apocalypse friends,

Hope you are doing well. In this episode we treat you to an interview with Robert Smith where we talk about robotics and AI. 

For those of you time traveling in from the future, it is June of 2024 and we are between seasons 4 and 5 of the narrative. 

As is my habit I take a break from the main narrative over the summer months, but fill the airwaves, or I guess that would be internet-waves with other things. For this summer I’m going to run a number of interviews. Some where I am the interviewer, like this one, and some where I am even the interviewee.

So – if you’re not interested in that, feel free to skip ahead to season 5.

Second pass AMN Epi1 Introduction

Hello Survivors!

We are on our break between seasons. As is my habit, I over you some different stories and interviews to hold you interest while I’m working on the next season. 

Today I’m going to replay the first chapter in a story I’m writing called “Alien McGuffin Noir”, read by Mike Darling, AKA ‘Makeshift’ from the Wasteland. 

So, if you’re a time traveler bingeing in from the past you need to skip ahead for new episodes of Season 5 of After the Apocalypse.

If you are a loyal survivor playing along in real time give this story a listen and send me some feedback.

After the Apocalypse

A pandemic survival story

Season four, Episode twenty one – “The End Days”

...

The next day the old man made it to the campus.

He watched Zane attempt to skip stones across the campus pond with Wili. She still couldn’t get it right and, instead, turned to shove Zane from behind towards the water. Zane caught his balance, laughed, and pushed back. 

The shoving devolved into a giggling wrestling match. 

The old man turned to his son Paul and said, “Someone’s going to need to have the talk with those two or you’re going to be up to your armpits in babies around here.”

After the Apocalypse

A pandemic survival story

Season four, Episode twenty – “Future Shock”

…

Normal pace even tone to start.

Brent stopped the Humvee at the barrier. 

Not that he had a choice.

He wasn’t going to get through unless the defenders let him through. 

Janet was driving the second Humvee. She came to a stop with two or three vehicle lengths space between them. 

Habits die hard in the apocalypse, and she had learned to always leave enough room for escape. 

Don’t’ get boxed in.

Hello my long suffering survivor friends, this is Chris, and this is not a new episode, it is an announcement.

Life got in the way and I’m unable to release Season 4, Episode 20 today on schedule. If you were one of the 483 members of our Facebook Group you would know this already, but I figured I’d do the respectful thing and drop an audio notice here as well. 

This is not something I take lightly. One of my strongest, most heartfelt, commitments is keeping to the publishing schedule for the podcast. 

I may be wrong, but I’m assuming there is a cadre of you who download and listen each week as they are dropped and for those people, I am violating a trust. I’m honored to serve you; I don’t take it lightly and I apologize deeply.

Then there will be others of you who are binge listening through the series and hit this point and think to yourselves, “What the heck is this dope talking about?”  For those time travelers I’ll leave this notice here as a token. 

A token to the fact that this is a human enterprise. Pause in your fast forwarding and consider that. A human enterprise. 

With all the frailty and baggage. 

With all the enthusiasm and love.

With all the untidy things that bundle all human enterprises.

Were that we were machines and could not break down. 

But we are human, and that is sublime.

So, I am working on it and will get it out shortly.

But, the lesson here, because if you’re curious there is always a lesson, the lesson is to not be so damn hard on yourself. 

Friends, you are doing the best you can. Give yourself a Mulligan every now and then. You have my permission.

After the Apocalypse

A pandemic survival story

Season four, Episode nineteen – “Escape”

...

“Yes, I suppose the virus trigger could have been the result of genetic engineering - that could explain things....” The old man responded in disbelief. 

He looked bug-eyed and disoriented in this new revelation. 

The General sized the old man up. 

He looked at Janet too. 

There was a long silence. Like someone had said something unspeakable at a cocktail party and the gathering was trying to decide how to respond.

What was he going to do with these two?

After the Apocalypse

A pandemic survival story

Season four, Episode eighteen – “Turn”

...

It was dark and Brent was feeling his age. 

These 5AM morning runs weren’t as easy as they used to be. 

But it was his habit and he cherished it despite the discomfort. 

Every morning.  

Since boot camp. 

He’d rolled out of his rack and put in his 5 miles. 

Part of his routine. 

Like brushing his teeth.

It set him up for a successful day. ‘Win the morning and win the day!’  Is what the drill sergeant said as the recruits moaned in their sleep deprivation. 

Brent had embraced the discipline.

After the Apocalypse

A pandemic survival story

Season four, Episode seventeen – “Close”

...

“How much farther are we going tonight?” Brittany asked. She was carrying the baby in a sling on the front. It was hot. Her face was red with the effort of hiking and her hair stuck in sweaty clumps to her forehead.

“We should at least be able to make it up to the road tonight.” The old man responded. “Then we can get up early and push through to the campus tomorrow. It can’t be more than a couple miles – another hour tops and we’ll be there.” 

He could tell the kids were tired. He was pushing them, but they needed to keep going. He was in a hurry now that he thought he might have a lead on the virus. He wanted to get back to the campus so he could take his research to the next step. 

As long as they were out on the trail, in gang country, there was danger. He couldn’t afford to lose them now.
