Nerd Out EP 55. Terrorism, Propaganda, All-hazards and a Skeleton Crew update
On the latest episode of Nerd Out, Alec Davison and Dave discussed recent terrorist activity and outlook for the future before looking at some of the propoganda that has been published to influence followers. They also looked at world events and the recent cease fire to assess what that may mean going forward before looking at all-hazards preparedness. Finally they wrapped up with some discussion about Skeleton Crew, and some future shows. Plus Alec makes a plea for Severance.
