there's a better way to do this.

Let me show you a better way.

Well, hi, folks.

This is Jack Spirko with another edition of The Survival Podcast.

It's always one man's view of the changing world, the changing times and the things we can all do to live a better life.

If times get tough or even if they don't.

Today is May the 28th, 2006.

This is episode 3,853 of the Survival Podcast. And it is time on a Thursday for an expert

council, Q&A show for the week. Now, normally, this would be where I would tell you, hey, guys,

I'm going to be gone next week, and there would be nothing but rewinds next week but we had a big

announcement happen this week didn't we so even though yes i'm about to vanish for about two weeks

into the mountains of colorado uh with my family uh i have one more show coming for you that will be

new content before the rewinds begin next week. That will be on Monday

when no less than Brad Thor, the author of 26 New York Times bestsellers. Let me say,

let me say, second, 26 New York Times bestsellers. And this guy writes in kind of the same vein

as like a Tom Clancy type thing. Really great author, really great subject, spellbinding books.

Think of it like the American answer to James Bond in a way.

I have been wanting to interview this guy for quite a few years.

I've been talking to his publisher and we've just never been able to make the stars

align. And so even though my plan was to sign off, and we've just never been able to make the stars align.

And so even though my plan was to sign off today and say goodbye and see you next mid-month,

we're going to have one more.
