About this episode
This episode explores real-world scenarios that could disrupt modern life and the psychology behind prepping for potential apocalyptic events.
In this episode of Wine Not Talk About It , we’re unpacking the apocalypse — not the zombie-movie version, but the real-world scenarios that could actually disrupt modern life. From supervolcanoes and solar storms to financial collapse, EMP attacks, pandemics, and fragile infrastructure, we break down what “the end of the world” would really look like… and why it’s probably less cinematic and more bureaucratic. We also get into prepper psychology, grid vulnerabilities,why movies always get it wrong, and the mildly controversial question: do we secretly romanticize collapse? Pour a glass and let’s talk about it — because survival might be less about chaos… and more about canned goods and knowing where your flashlight is. 🍷 This episode is sponsored by Plonk Wine Club .
