From the publisher
Stories bring meaning to facts and that's what this podcast is all about. The Changing Earth Podcast is a podcast that features the fictional novel, Day After Disaster, chapter by chapter in each episode. This is an action packed adventure novel and presents many survival topics within its pages. After reading a chapter, Sara will be hosting survival professionals from across the United States to talk about concepts that were discussed within that chapter of the novel. It is a great way to explore survival fiction and fact and learn while you are entertained.
