Reruns, rotary phones, and the slow collapse of everything.

After-School Apocalypse is a podcast by a Gen X couple raised in the long shadow of the Cold War, after-school specials, and the quiet understanding that no one was really in charge.

Each episode blends memory, marriage, and cultural critique as two former latchkey kids revisit the 1970s, 80s, and 90s—an era of fluorescent classrooms, nuclear dread, pop culture lies, and lessons learned between the bell and dark.

This isn’t nostalgia. It’s an autopsy.

From duck-and-cover drills to media-fed fear, from punk records to public mistrust, After-School Apocalypse explores how growing up unsupervised shaped a generation fluent in sarcasm, allergic to authority, and oddly prepared for collapse.

It’s a conversation about love in the ruins, history that never really ended, and what happens when you’re dismissed into the world—and expected to figure it out alone
