This is Dylan Thuris, and we have a national emergency.

The apocalypse is very nearly here.

There isn't really an apocalypse, or at least there are multiple smaller apocalypse is happening, but the full one's not here yet. But this is a question

that has occasionally come up at Atlas Obscira. Where might we spend our last days before the

apocalypse? It's a little bit of a similar question to, let's say you had a terminal illness and

you're going to die in three weeks or three months.

Where would you go? What would you do? Why? And so in this episode, we tried to answer this question.

Where might we go if it was all coming to an end? Do we want to go somewhere far away and beautiful?

Do we want to stay close to home?

I was surprised by the answers in this.

Because when you ask people what they're going to do when it all ends,

a certain kind of funny and interesting and sometimes sort of tragic truth comes out.

Okay.

Here's the episode.

Hi, I'm producer Judith Cartgoe. If the apocalypse hits, I want producer Judith Cartbow.

If the apocalypse hits, I want to be at Costco, but not just any Costco, an empty one.

No chaos, no stampedes, just me, vibing in a sea of industrial shelving and endless snacks.

And if the world's ending, I want to eat my way through a lifetime supply of peanut butter pretzels

and mini kishes while riding around on a mobility scooter, like I own the place.

Also, there's a comfort in bulk.

The apocalypse is terrifying, but somehow staring down Armageddon with 400 rolls of toilet paper behind me feels empowering.

Feels like I might make it through the third act of a disaster movie.
