Ep 1:
Cosmic Accident, Doomsday Clock
From the Big Bang to humanity's statistical odds of extinction, we explore why our existence may be a cosmic fluke—and why the chilling Doomsday Argument suggests we're closer to the end than we think.
Ep 2:
Winter of Fire, Rain of Stone
Scientists once modeled nuclear Armageddon in chilling detail, while space itself hurls civilization-ending rocks our way—we examine the real math behind Nuclear Winter and asteroid apocalypse.
Ep 3:
Cassandra's Curse and Cult Endings
Disasters defy prediction, spawning black swans and dragon kings—yet humans keep chasing certainty, sometimes fatally, through doomsday cults convinced they know exactly when the world ends.
Ep 4:
The Universe's Final Breath
The universe itself may be doomed—Big Chill, Big Crunch, Big Rip—and when disaster strikes on Earth, we ask whether humanity's evacuation plans can actually save us.
Ep 5:
Fear, Faith, and a Warming World
Environmental movements borrow apocalyptic imagery from ancient religious traditions—we unpack how fear, judgment, and revelation shape the politics of climate doomsaying.
