Things are getting real. So real, people are advised to avoid gatherings and touching each other. Breathing around each other is also a no-no. So, when you see a friend or loved one, simply use the PYSP-approved jazz-hands-wink-wink greeting. Learn this and other semi-helpful tips on how to weather the Covid storm. #washyerhands!

Reunited and it feels so good...until you realize a pandemic brought us back together. Take a listen to our scattered conversation on the threat knocking on your back door! Coronavirus Covid19, get off our lawn!

Almost a decade ago, Ann Varghese survived the 7.0 Haitian earthquake, one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Even with that kind of survival resume, Lex and I were still able to trick her into being interviewed by us! She's a hero because of her work with world health organizations but she's a bad ass survivor because of her unbreakable PMA. Take a listen!

This week Lex takes the lead on speculated number correctness as we talk about the early July earthquakes in California and north of Seattle. We moon over Lucy Jones and review more of The Big One: Your Survival Guide, our favorite love/like podcast of facts. We also got for real certified to put tourniquets on people!!! As demonstrated by Lex in a very painful photo op. :) Take a listen and let us know how the quakes helped you get motivated!

This episode is a mixed bag of awesome! We talk about our furniture (just because), The Big One (podcast), Amanda Eller getting lost, the tornado outbreak of 2019, another hub visit and more because we must tell you all the things. So very very many things. Have a listen and tell your friends!

Invite ourselves to a science conference public forum? Yes, yes we will. Listen to the aftermath and experience of our brave podcast heroes as they go out in public to the Seismological Society of America's Town Hall on early warning systems. We'll also introduce you to "The Big One: Your Survival Guide", a podcast we'll be discussing/reviewing for the next few episodes.

A special episode where we glaze over a year of podcast neglect and sort of talk about the big hits of 2018/2019! Consider this episode foreplay to get you ready for the full episode soon to follow! Thanks for listening!

Have a spare $3 mil laying around? Go ahead and buy yourself an apartment in an underground missile silo and ride out disaster in style! No? Well, come dream with us about what it would be like to face the end of the world as one of the chosen ones. Mom jokes abound!

SPECIAL TREAT EPISODE! We know our summer break has been a bummer for our fans, but we've put together a special interview episode to tide you over! This episode we start the discussion around the culture of preparedness. You'll hear some more from our friends at FEMA (Ep 25!) along with us harassing our friends & neighbors about their prepping experiences and process.

A few weeks ago FEMA reached out for some advice on how to handle disasters, and we decided to show up in person to help them out! JK!!! They let us in their bunker and it was awesome. Join us for our tour FEMA Region X Headquarters and a discussion about how FEMA fits into the bigger disaster response picture. Genuine gratitude to Peter Sessum and Jackie Gladish for hosting us!
