It’s back to Mid-World, in today’s episode of the Post-Apocalyptia Podcast! We’re talking about The Drawing of the Three, book two of Stephen King’s magnum opus, The Dark Tower. We’ll talk about the edge of the world, and lobsters that will eat you if you don’t eat them first. We’ll see three very strange doors, and pay a visit—or several—to New York City, through the eyes—literally—of the most unexpected people. And finally, we’ll gear up for the rest of our quest to find the Dark Tower, and save what’s left of this world, and all worlds. All this and more, in The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three. Join us there, at the end of the world!

The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three is available in print, ebook, and audiobook formats from most booksellers.

Max is back, and better than ever! Today Professor David Perlmutter joins us as we talk about the one that really kicked the series into gear: George Miller's 1981 classic, Mad Max 2! Or if, like us, you're in the USA, you may know it better as The Road Warrior. Why is that? Listen and see! We'll talk about leather gear, the real cost of gasoline, and the best villain we've seen yet: the Warrior of the Wastes, the Ayatollah of Rock-and-Rollah, Lord Humungous! We'll put this excellent film in its historical context, and see how it shaped the tropes of the genre for decades to come. All of this and more, in Mad Max 2! Join us there, at the end of the world!

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior can be rented or purchased on many streaming services, and is available on DVD and Blu-Ray.

This week, we continue our series on the Fallout video game series with Fallout 3! We'll make the leap from isometric to 3D, as Bethesda Softworks assumes control of the series. Travel east with me to the Capital Wasteland, where we'll meet new companions, new friends, and some old enemies. As the Lone Wanderer, we'll search for our missing father, and save the wasteland--but at a terrible price. All this and more, in our third Fallout series episode, Fallout 3. Join us there, at the end of the world!

Fallout 3 can be purchased for most game platforms, with the exception of Nintendo.
