Rundown
In this episode, Mexie and Marine talk with Ash, co-host of the Horror Vanguard podcast, about death positivity (or the lack thereof) and how this relates to the doomsday preppers movement. We start by outlining death positivity and why it is so important in our present-day society, particularly with respect to the climate crisis. We then dive into the wild world of doomsday prepping and the lengths that many people are going to futilely avoid their own mortality. We loved this convo and would love to hear what you think!
