SurvivalBlog reader “Rightcoast” mentioned that the new anthology of post-apocalyptic fiction titled Wastelands, from Night Shade Books, is now available for ordering. (I first mentioned this book back before it was available for ordering.) The authors include M. Rickert, Cory Doctorow, and Richard Kadrey.

We live in a very remote, lightly-populated area “somewhere west of the Rockies”, so our daytime radio reception is pitiful. (Although at night, it is fantastic on the AM and shortwave bands.) Since we enjoy listening to Internet radio webcasts and podcasts such as sermons, I recently got a small FM transmitter that allows us to broadcast inside our house. This way we can listen to any audio from our computers (audio CDs, podcasts, RealPlayer files, MP3 files, audio from DVD movies, et cetera) on our radios throughout the house. These transmitters have about a 100 foot range, and are are sold by C. Crane Company. We have been doing business with C. Crane since the mid-1990s, and have found them to be very reputable.
