The Survival Podcast

Today is an episode of Friday Fusions, a series that combines my direction and source selection with the virtual AI hosts in Google Gemini Notebook. I choose the topic, assemble the source material and give the AI specific instructions on how to approach it. The virtual hosts then turn that information into a conversation. These Friday episodes let me bring you additional content while continuing to produce the four regular TSPC episodes I host each week. AI can make mistakes, mispronounce words or occasionally state something with more confidence than accuracy, so verify anything important before acting on it.

Today we are joined by Peter Mac Isaac to talk about something that can become life or death very damn fast, surviving a wildfire and giving yourself a real chance of saving your family, your property and your home. Most people are told that when wildfire approaches the answer is simple, evacuate and hope for the best. Peter says that approach leaves people dangerously dependent on a system that may be overwhelmed, delayed or simply unable to get to them in time. We will dig into what homeowners can actually do before and during a wildfire. That includes creating defensible <span class="excerpt-dots">…</span> <a class="more-link" href="https://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/dont-die-wildfire-2"><span class="more-msg">Continue reading →</span></a>

If you asked me simply, “what is the one action that most people could take that will bring them the most freedom”, my instant response would be starting a business. If you then asked me, “why don’t more people do it”, my answer would be far more layered and it would include… Because it is hard Because they don’t know what to do or how to to it Because they perceive it as risky Because people fear failure Because they doubt themselves ` There is more but in my experience which now spans more 35 years these are the big <span class="excerpt-dots">…</span> <a class="more-link" href="https://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/business-in-2026"><span class="more-msg">Continue reading →</span></a>

Monday Mayhem shows are a throwback to the roots of The Survival Podcast. Fast riffs on many topics in real time. No deep presentations or digging into the finer points of a an aquaponics system. A mix of practical prepping, current news and economic trends and real opinions you will never hear from main stream or even most alternative media. Today we discuss a 32 hour work week why it won’t happen and why a 35 hour week would be very doable for many businesses and services. Why HR should always come last in the hiring sequence and never see <span class="excerpt-dots">…</span> <a class="more-link" href="https://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/mayhem-3900"><span class="more-msg">Continue reading →</span></a>

Today we are joined by Julie Abels to discuss why making art still matters in a world where AI can generate polished images in seconds. The question is no longer whether machines can make impressive images, they obviously can. The more important question is what happens to us when we stop doing the work of creating things ourselves. Julie’s position is that making art is about far more than the finished product. Drawing, painting and creating by hand develop observation, patience, judgment, problem solving and perseverance. Those are not simply artistic skills. They are human skills that transfer into almost <span class="excerpt-dots">…</span> <a class="more-link" href="https://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/human-art-v-ai"><span class="more-msg">Continue reading →</span></a>

One of the real surprises over the years are how much people have love my cooking episodes. We have talked about cooking fish and game, holiday meals, eating cheap, cutting our own meat and a ton more. Today I think might just do a bit of all that. Cooking is one of the things I really love doing. It is a way to explore other techniques often which often means learning about other cultures through their foods. It is also a life style design and prepper topic as we all must eat to remain healthy and active. We also must <span class="excerpt-dots">…</span> <a class="more-link" href="https://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/cooking-in-2026"><span class="more-msg">Continue reading →</span></a>

Today we are joined by Billy Bond to discuss taking back control of your food, your health, and your vitality. We will look at why health itself is a preparedness skill and why producing some of your own food may be one of the most important steps you can take toward real independence. This is not just about having a garden or storing some extra food. It is about understanding the systems that keep you alive and becoming less dependent on systems you have little or no control over.

A time bomb is ticking, and it is the kind of bomb you can not disarm. We all hear it. We keep hoping some fiscal bomb squad will show up and shut it down, but deep down, we know they are not coming. The question is not if the bomb goes off. It is when, and what the aftermath looks like. Run from the blast radius? You can not. Forty trillion dollars in US federal debt is more powerful than any weapon we have ever detonated. But this bomb does not level a city overnight.
