Episode 22

Download Episode 22

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.

Episode 21

In this 21st episode of Through the Aftermath, Shawn and Jonathan read a handful of emails from the listeners. If you still haven't had an email read on the show, sit tight as we have a handful left to get to.

Next episode will be about The Postman, both the movie and the book. We'll compare the two and let you know what you're missing if you've only seen the movie.

The TTA site and forums are down right now as the result of a hack, but they will hopefully be back faster than the last time the forums were down! These raiders are persistent, I tell ya.

Welcome, wastelanders!

Well, the everlasting battle with webhosts has hit a setback, and ole Shawn is retreating a bit. Last week, the server that housed my sites (all 4 of them) was hacked and the main index pages were lost on each one. The information is there for everything, it's just a matter of a missing index page, which -- of course -- I don't have a recent back-up for.

With all the problems I've had with webhosting over the years, I've decided to finally retire that fight. I'm transferring everything I can over to Blogger.com sites and Flickr accounts and services that aren't handled completely by me. This will be much easier on me, and hopefully with less downtime for you.

So I'm going through the process of manually restoring posts on this site, and hopefully, will have it all back to semi-normal soon.

Of course, this means a much more stream-lined version of the old site (including, yes, no more forums for now), but I just never got into podcasting to deal with webhost problems and hackers.
