Bunker Gold: Among the Apocalypse Addicts

Listen back to an edition from our archives with The Bunker Gold. This week we’ve chosen an episode from April, 2020. It’s the end of the world as we know it and… some people are quite into that, it seems. Why are so many people so keen on the end of everything? What do doomsday preppers, alt.right catastrophists and billionaire plutocrat antidemocrats like Peter Thiel have in common? And is the communal response to COVID proving their worst ambitions wrong? We talk to Mark O’Connell – author of book Notes From An Apocalypse: A Personal Journey to the End of the World and Back – about the dark fantasy of the End Times. https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison.
