In this 24th episode of Through the Aftermath, Shawn and Jonathan discuss the myths and facts behind the Chernobyl disaster. They also dive into the first person shooter game "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." and how well it depicts Chernobyl after a fictional second nuclear disaster there.
If you'd like to see some recent pictures of the disaster site, check out this link. It shows dozens of photos from a tour of the area, and how the surrounding towns are actually starting to rebuild, more than 20 years later. Look for the next episode to be about the movie Doomsday.

Hey folks, sorry for the delay between episodes, but you wanted epic
intros, right?! Well you got one this time, that's for sure.
Episode 23 comes to you with special guests Brad and Heero from the Fallen Earth LifeNet podcast. We talk a whole lot about Fallen Earth, but also the post-apoc influences that got these two fine podcast hosts where they are today. We also throw out a bit of news, and did I mention there's an epic intro? Yep. There is. Next episode will be about the Chernobyl disaster.

In this 22nd episode of Through the Aftermath, the topic is The Postman. This covers both the 1985 novel by David Brin, and the 1997 movie starring Kevin Costner. Which one did we like better? What were our favorite parts of each? Why are these two works of media even named the same?!
We also read an email from Jason which points us towards Operation Able Archer, and how important it was to what could have been a full-scale nuclear war, in much the same style as the Cuban Missile Crisis. Next episode will be with the guys from LifeNet, the Fallen Earth podcast. Keep in touch with us via the Facebook page, email or Twitter. Theme music is The Fourth Tribe by Michael Gordon Shapiro.
