Attention Coast to Coast AM radio fans: I will be interviewed by George Noory on Thursday night (March 11th) at 10 p.m., Pacific Time. This interview will be about my book “How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It: Tactics, Techniques, and Technologies for Uncertain Times”. The conversation is scheduled to be two hours long, so we’ll be able to go into considerable detail.

I recently had a conversation with a producer of the ABC television program 20/20. He sounded sincere and fairly sympathetic to the preparedness movement. He asked me to post this note for him: “I am interested in interviewing one or two SurvivalBlog readers, and videotaping their family and group preparations. Our story will focus on how this movement has become more mainstream. I am hoping to find typical families who have had to wrestle with all the planning and details involved in getting ready for TEOTWAWKI. In addition, if they belong to a larger group of preppers who train together in the backwoods and teach each other various skills, I would like to document some of that on camera as well. It would not be a problem for us to obscure specific locations, since I know that is a sensitive issue.” Contact: Glenn Ruppel. E-mail: ruppelg@abc.com
